Version 7: Sakura Love

Wednesday, July 30, 2008

[Edit]
Ahh! I'm so smart. Sorry but I am. Haha. I though that I'd never be able to get Kihugs to work with the super big screen size 1152 x 864 but I have. I've fixed the coding on the pages so that the affie/advert/update links don't go zooming of to the left and that there isn''t a big white gap on the right when Kihugs is viewed in larger screens. I've also made it compatible for those annoying 800 x 600 resolutions (yes some people still use them!). I'm shattered! Night. xx
[/End Edit]

I got my first review back from Georgina @ Out The Window and after following some advice from her, plus some of my friends, I redesigned Kihugs. I quite like how this version turned out. Shola said to me that I should design something that I would be happy with, never mind what I think people want. So I didn't do a typical celebrity layout. Changing the topic a bit, I love that render of Sakura at the top! Credits for some the images used in this layout go to here and here. I've updated all my pages, you may need to refresh Kihugs to see the new layout ;) Tell me what you think!
Today has been quite good as I have been busy on Kihugs and just relaxing. You know when its just ones of those days where you want to sleep because its warm. Its such nice weather though, so I might go out tomorrow.
I saw the new batman film yesterday, the Dark Knight, it was awesome. If you're a Batman fan, then you will love that film. haha :3
Bye bye! xxx

Oreos are nice

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

Last week was a pretty good week for me. I went out with Shola to Graves Park and we had a laugh. It was such a nice day and we took quite a few pictures which I uploaded on my Myspace of course. It was funny because we got to watch these crazy ducks gang up on this one duck. I kind of felt sorry for it. We also went out and saw the film, "Angus, thongs and perfect snogging". It was a great film and defo one that you should should take your friends to go see. I would just like to say that me and Shola are Stiff Dylans fans and proud. After the film we decided to go and get Myflurrys and I swear we had the dumbest person there serving us. It took him forever to count out 2 pence in change. Seriously, how hard can it be to pull a lever and get ice-cream. I felt like jumping over the counter and fetching them myself! Bad service.

I applied for Kihugs to be reviewed by a couple of sites today and I'm looking forward to what they think of this site! A 3 out of 5 would make me happy to be honest. I've been web-designing for quite a long time and I still get a buzz when one of my college friends mentions Kihugs! :)
I haven't done much else to Kihugs lately, other than join some more fanlistings. I think I'm like addicted to them things. I just love all the cute little buttons haha.

I've just remembered I need to do a review for my Myspace blog on Lucky Star (anime series). Meh, I just write on there when it suits me really. But the blogs on there are considerably different to the ones on Kihugs. Much more about life matters and stuff that I feel comfortable with my friends reading. You know what I mean. :)

Well I'm going now, as yet I again I am blogging in the early hours of the morning.

Bye bye. Mwah. xxxx <3

New affiliate

Thursday, July 24, 2008

Hiya everyone, sorry I haven't updated for a couple of days. I have been quite ill. Been having migraines and feeling dizzy, but today I seem to have recovered quite a bit. Probably due to Shola's (my best friend) support. :) Tomorrow we are going out to have a laugh and just chillax (chill/relax). :D

Kihugs has a new affiliate, Afef from Strawberry Gashes! So please check out her site and blogs, they are really good. :)

No real major updates to discuss, other than Kawaii Awards seems to be doing well and the voting is set to start on the 1st of August so good luck to everyone who has nominated their site!
Feel free to join, also you can join Kihugs topsites too and apply for free advertising.

Well this is quite a late blog so I'm signing off for tonight!

Night Night xxxx <3

A cup of tea would be nice

Monday, July 21, 2008

Today I've been busy updating Kihugs, I've already added 7 Myspace tutorials! I also plan to come back later and add some more updates. The tutorials that I have added teach you some cool little tweaks you can do on your Myspace profile like making the friend/comment area scrollable and so on. Check them out. :3

Bye for now. *Mwah* xx

I want my lolly!

Sunday, July 20, 2008


Ahh! I'm excited. Just been ordering myself a cute necklace. Check him out! He is so cute and small. :3
It seems like all I do lately is Internet shop. Since its the summer holidays I get a little bored in the day and can't resist either logging onto Ebay or Play to see what I can buy! I have to admit I'm hooked when it comes to kawaii jewellery.

I so want this pencil case I've seen on Ebay. It features the funny character Konata Izumi from the anime series Lucky Star. :) She has to be one of my favourite anime characters. In many ways she reminds me of myself, sarcastic but always joking around. Even though Chris says I look like Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket! So you could say that I've got traits of Tohru and Konata. haha :3
I Wouldn't mind being Tohru though seen as she gets to live with Shigure, Yuki and Kyo. I bet that's right fun! Oh and if you don't know what I'm talking about then I suggest you read up on it.

So today has been just a typical day really. I miss Chris abit, as I said before he's gone to Cornwall for a week with his family! Wah. :(
But I won't be bored for too long as I'm having a day out with my bessie Shola. She needs opinions on what she's going to wear to a party. Also we can get McFlurrys again. Choco mint flavour for me! Yum. :p
Last time we had them with a meal just because they were free; you get a free ice cream with your meal if your a college student and you show your student ID card. Pretty good, huh? However we were so full up from the meals that we didn't fancy the ice-cream. But we ate it anyway! Don't you just hate wasting things that you got for free? :s
This time I'm going to save a bit of room so I can eat it all. I love ice cream.
You know what else is nice and I apologise for the random blogging here, smoothies.
I love smoothies. I could just have one now! The one that I have is called Strawberry Squeeze and I swear it is the most yummy smoothie in England. :3
I'm all excited to go out now!
Bye bye!

Success!

Saturday, July 19, 2008

Got to feel proud of myself today as I have finally integrated a blogging service with Kihugs. I heard about being able to upload blogs via Blogger to your ftp server and I decided to give it a go. This service is great as now I don't have to manually edit my homepage and then input haloscan onto it to try and make it look like a blog. hehe :)

In case you're wondering how come I didn't just use cutenews, its because my host doesn't provide php. It's not that bad as I don't really have to edit all my pages when uploading something. I'm so happy now as I can blog from college when I go back! :3

Just a quick shout out here to my best friend Shola. She has been my inspiration to keep going and I'd just like to say thanks Shola; I look forward to when you're in the best sellers list. ;D

Today has been a pretty average day. My boyfriend Chris has gone away for a week with his family in Cornwall so I'm gonna miss him. Looks like I'll have the gamecube all to myself.

I'm really happy that so many people have entered over at my site, Kawaii Awards. I've already created the award templates and the voting is due to start at then end of this month. Good Luck everyone!



Hehe, I just had to put this video up. I love Lucky Star. <3

News about Kihugs

Friday, July 18, 2008

I am pleased to announce that kihugs has returned!

Yep, I finished my exams in June and now have completed a year a college. I'm just waiting for exam results that will come in August. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, now that my first A level exams are finished.

I promised you that I would return and I noticed that in my absence some affiliates have not kept in touch, so I'm sorry but them ones are going to have to go. I've planned loads of updates that I'm going to do to Kihugs in these holidays now as I have 6 weeks off. So expect masses of content.

I've already created a new site called Kawaii Awards. It's an award site as you have probably already guessed. Winners will receive cute prizes to put on their sites and a permanent spot on the past winners page. So what are you waiting for? Check it out.

Bye bye!
