The domain transfer to move my site to a new host is taking way longer than I'd like, so in the meantime I've set up a mirror so you can use the code tester. You can also try out a WIP of the next code tester update if you want! It's got a big update that I think you'll really like. 😎💖

Everything's back in place now, and the new version is at this URL until I replace the main code tester with the update! 💖 But the mirror versions will remain up, so using either works just fine.

Intro

Hey guys! Link me wonky codes effected by the DW code push here (or via email!) and I'll see if I can start a comprehensive list of issues—and ideally how to fix them. 💖

Hey Patrons! The general consensus on the work server is that we all agree an IJ-based help area for Patreon-specific codes and layouts would be beneficial to all of us. As I've mentioned a few times in the past, Patreon's notifications are elusive at best, and I miss a lot of comments and emails due to notification emails going to the wrong folders (and sometimes not being sent at all.)

If you are a current or a past patron, and you need help with a Patreon code/layout you're using, please leave me a screened comment and I'll check it out for you as soon as I can! ( Read more... )

We very suddenly lost our child on Saturday and I need time away to make arrangements and grieve. Please consider helping us with costs on our GoFundMe page; we could really use the help.

I respectfully ask that you avoid leaving religiously-based condolences. You're free to pray for us, but please respect our boundaries.

Hey guys! We have some really cool updates today! After a three week grind, I'm so excited to release this project, because it's been a really long time coming. First and most obviously, though: New layout! I'm super happy with the slick new look, and it looks pretty nice on mobile too, if I do say so myself.

But on to the big update: Introducing, the Code and Layout Directories! 🎉 Now you can see everything I've ever made—free, Patreon, and Gumroad—all in one visual space, which means all Patreon preview images are now available to the public. On these directories, you can:

• Easily tell which items are free, Patreon, or paid
• Multi-filter terms to narrow down what you want to find
• Click hover tags on each item to add them to the filters
• Use the search function if you know the name of the thing you're looking for
• Link to specific search terms
• Sort by newest, oldest, price, or alphabetical
• And probably at least one thing I'm forgetting!

I've also just released CR: Ship Breakdown and Layout: Good Vibes Only to christen the directories, and I'm really happy with both of them! 💖

Edit. Oh right, I forgot! While building the directories, I made sure to fix broken images on all free content, hell yeah!! Gumroad is next up. 😎

Another birthday, another year older, another bundle. This year, in celebration of making it through another year without dying in an embarrassing freak accident, I've created a bundle based on one of my absolute favorite aesthetics: Ouija boards.

This bundle uses clip masks for the board pieces so that you can have any color scheme you like. I'm in love with this bundle, and I hope you love it too.

You can purchase Ouija | 2024 Birthday Bundle on Gumroad. Get a layout and splash page (in two versions), and seven codes for $65! 🎉 Enjoy! 💖

(And, as always, I'd love it if you considered joining my Patreon! I have more bundles over there, as well as over a hundred exclusive layouts and codes.)

( Code + Guide + Info )

I'm happy to announce the release of a new bundle: Art Deco. This layout comes with: A layout (IJ and DW versions), splash page, biosheet, cast list, moodboard, contact code, scene header & log format, and a freetext code to do with as you will.

Additionally, I'm running a 33% off sale for the month of June! From June 3rd until my birthday on July 3rd, all products will be 33% off, including this new bundle! (And, of course, after the sale will be my annual birthday bundle. 😎)

Use SUMMER2024 at checkout to get any bundles you've had your eye on at a discount this month!

Enjoy! 💖

I can't believe I forgot to cross-post this before my birthday break/vacation at my best friend's house, LOL. It's literally a birthday bundle!! Anyway, here's Wonderwall this year's birthday bundle.

And now, time to get back to work and answer questions and comments. 😎

As per Imgur's newest TOS update:

We will be focused on removing old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account from our platform as well as nudity, pornography, & sexually explicit content. You will need to download/save any images that you wish to save if they no longer adhere to these Terms. Most notably, this would include explicit/pornographic content.

I strongly urge you to save any images used in any layouts/codes that you're currently using, even if they were uploaded by me, because I cannot guarantee with absolute certainty that they're tied to my account, or that I still have the images if you need to reupload them.

Please please please remember to do this by May 15, 2023 so you aren't risking losing anything. I'll be saving as much as I can here in case I need to reupload anything. (Remember, this only applies to Imgur URLs, so if one of my layout uses a Discord, Guilded, or Unsplash URL you're fine to leave them as-is. Which is unfortunate, because those URLs are the ones I can almost completely guarantee I still have. 🙃

Overall, I think it's still safe to use Imgur for your uploads for layouts, but now we just need to be absolutely sure we're logged in when we do our uploads going forward. Finally: I'd appreciate if you could link this post in any IJ-specific servers you're in on Discord/Guilded/etc. and/or on your main journal if you could so that we can try to make sure people don't lose their images.

On a related note: Would anyone like it if I wandered around online and researched free and paid image hosting options to post a comparison of here so you don't have to?

Just a quick info post! For those of you who use Chrome, they've finally added tab hibernation (I used to use a really nice extension called The Great Suspender that did this, so I'm so hype to have this again. It got taken down from the Chrome store, but now I'm seeing that it's back again? I have no clue when that happened lmao.)

HOWEVER: If you enable it (you should!!) you'll want to go here: chrome://settings/?search=memory and add my code tester to the always keep these sites active area to avoid accidental refreshes.

It's also good to add things like YouTube to this if you're like me and you leave videos open for uh... too long lmfao and don't want to risk losing your place.

For me personally, I added my code tester, the page for layout customization on IJ, and YouTube, and I let everything else hibernate when left inactive. Basically, any page you leave open frequently that has an active form element (like a textarea) that you tend to leave unfinished content in, you'll want to add those to the list so that you can take advantage of this feature without it fucking you over LOL.

This feature rules as long as you remember to add any exclusions you might need; the extension I used to use had that capability too, so I'm glad Chrome didn't drop the ball on that front.
