Woohoo! I'm currently sitting at 2000 hits on my site. How cool is that? And I'm at Popularity Ranking #444. I thought that was kind of cool to hit 2000 and ranking #444 at the same time.

Ok, now that I got that out of my system. It's time to discuss more serious issues. That kind of sounds ominous, doesn't it? o_O
No, it's nothing too serious. It's just that I'm thinking about taking some time off for a bit. Maybe around 5 days to a week. I have a lot of stuff that I need to take care of. And I'm sure you guys will get along just fine without me. However, I'm more worried about myself. I think this may be a challenge for me to be gone for so long. I mean I've done it before (for much longer) in the past, but I've been really enjoying frequently this place more lately. I will truly miss visiting my friends on a daily, or near daily basis.

So, here's my last replies to comments for a while.

CosmicSailor

I know what you mean about needing to know how something works to make it work. I think that's why I felt so compelled to do the help page. I was the same way, I wasn't content to just have someone tell me what codes to use to do something. And I felt powerless when it came to doing other things whenever I would come up with an idea. Once I got to know how to read HTML, I would spend a lot of time looking over the code on other sites just to see how certain things worked.
I have ran across an issue that I'm a bit torn on. Many people disable the right-click on their sites because they don't want others copying their codes and stealing thier layouts. (Though, there are ways around this.) Well, I understand this completely because creating a web page is the same as creating a piece of art, a lot of time goes into it. However, on the other hand, there are those out there who can learn from those codes, not to copy them or steal a layout, but just to learn from them. That's what I have done. And one other problem that I have encountered with the no right-click is, occasionally an image won't load for some reason and in some instances by using the right-click on that image and select Show Image, the image will show. Well, that can't be done with the right-click disabled.

Thanks for the tip on the calligraphy pens. I'll have to remember that. Though, I don't think I'll be getting them anytime soon. Actually I wasn't wanting them for writing in calligraphy. I want a pen like that with varying line widths for drawing. I've tried using my set of pens that I mentioned yesterday for that, but I don't get a smooth transition from one line width to another. That's where a super fine flat tip pen would be nice. After reading Yensid's comment from yesterday I'm sure I can find what I'm looking for, I just haven't taken the time to look at the pens too much.

Yensid

Thank you as well for the tips on pens. You will most likely read what I said to CosmicSailor. So, I'll probably keep an eye out for the pens I'm looking for in the next month or so.
Yes, I agree with bristol board. I've used it on occasion. Though not as much as I'd like. As for paints, that's something I don't have too much experience with. I used acrylics a bit in one of my classes. One of these days I'll have to work with them again.

Wolf of Darkstar

Yep, that's me... smartarse with a good memory. Actually, I seem to be good at remembering humorous things better. ^_^
That's too bad that you are so busy. I don't have anyone to play checkers with. ^_^

Well, I'm done for now. And I will be back maybe this coming weekend or so. However, I will drop in to check my PMs. So, if anyone has any questions, I'll be around to answer them.

Take care everyone.

Catcha later...
