Unexpectedly free afternoon

[mayhap]

You know, I'm totally in favor of classes being cancelled on dreary, rainy days.

It just helps if we get an email about it first.

But hey, I am back in my room and not too damp, plus I have this package from my mother that arrived today, so I have the Aladdin DVD and raspberry dark chocolate and a bunch of different lotions and a colander and all kinds of fun stuff. Yay!

I also have my very own domain now: http://www.pinchofnutmeg.net This is very exciting to me, as I have always wanted my own domain name, since I was an ickle webdork, and now I have one, and it is mine, mine, all mine!

Er. Yes. I have a very exciting placeholder up now. And my fanfic is here now.

Oh, pretty! I read "Some Wounds Go Skin Deep" and enjoyed it muchly. Also, your design -- just -- mm! Simple and v. v. nice -- the image along the side makes me happy.

Picking a domain name is so fun: I remember wanting the-waitress.net, asunder.nu and at least five others before settling on oscillating.org.

Aww, thank you very much on all counts! I love the little vine marginalia too.

Oh! I had wanted to ask you -- how does one get the little image up in the URL bar and what do the dimensions need to be?

And do you have to pay extra for having subdomain.domain.com addresses? How does that work?

[mayhap]

Ooooh, that answers my question about whether or not that was working. ;) (I think I need to empty my cache to get it to actually show up on my computer.)

It's 16 x 16 pixels and it needs to be in this .ico file format. There's a .ico plugin for Photoshop here, or there is this nifty site that will generate one for you from an image of any size, and there are nice directions on how to get it working here.

And you should check to see if subdomains are included in your hosting plan. Mine was easy to set up and all (*snuggles DreamHost*) and then it just shows up as a folder called florilegium.pinchofnutmeg.net when I connect to FTP.
