It would be nice to have money.....

When I eventually get a job, there is some things that I could do that would put the money I get to good use:

First I could donate to VGF and help keep SMBhq running.

I could also register the chat applet so people no longer complain about the registration message that's printed whenever somebody types a line.

Yeah, it would be great to have income......

New SMBhq Logo

For those of you who didn't know, for the last month, a vote was held to choose a new SMBhq logo from a choice of 12.

On Friday evening the voting stopped and we had a landslide winner.

So I am pleased to present to you the NEW SMBhq logo:


Expect to see the new logo soon along with a redesigned splash page.

Hmmm

There's less than two weeks left until that yearly practical joke day.

Do we at SMBhq have anything up our sleeves?

Nah.

Status of Golden Toad Awards

OK, I'm a day late with this post. I was waiting to see if anyone else would post.

Anyways, all I have to say is that the Golden Toad awards were successful. TOO successful.

With something like 600 votes (though some of them were duds), it is a big chore to count all of these votes.

And to be quite frank, I don't like chores when it comes to websites. I don't like to have to do something, I want to do something because I want to do it.

I had a music site, which I shut down for this reason (it was too much of a chore to keep it up-to-date).

So where does this leave the Golden Toad Awards?

I honestly don't know. I doubt I will count all the votes in time for the end of March. I'm guessing sometime in April, but I have to actually count some votes before I can set a new date.

So, basically the status of the Golden Toad's is: TBD
It's just like Sean to add another new and nearly useless thing to the site (lol). Whatever possessed him to get one of these blog things, I'll never know. Anyways, since it was something regarding the staff of the website, I saw it my natural responsibility to accept.

First off, I wanted to mention how I wish that I would get some more Fan Fiction submissions, because I rarely get any. It's difficult to post when you have nothing to post, if you catch my drift.

Lastly, I wanted to say that I have the ideas in the making for my own fan fiction, though it may be some time before I can get around to writing it for lack of free time. That's all for now.

Blog Buttons

I know I should wait until someone else posts in this Blog (Luigi128 just accepted his invitation BTW) before I start posting like crazy, but I just had to post this story:

Last night I was talking to Jay in AIM. I said that I was going to make a button for the Blog and I asked him what category he wanted the button for.

I knew that it wouldn't be Fan Stuff (red). This left Reference (Green) and Other (Blue).

After much thinking, Jay said that if the button goes under reference, it would even out the rows of buttons (Jay said that he was OC about stuff like that).

I, who was thinking that it would be better suited for Other, asked Jay if a Blog really counts as a refererence. Jay responded, saying that it would be a "reference of our thoughts."

I eventually ended up making 2 buttons (one for each category) and sent them to him.

It would be interesting to see which one Jay actually uses (I have a feeling it will be Green).

Well there's some SMBhq "Behind the Scenes" for ya.

I will post again sometime tommorow about the state of the Golden Toad Awards.

Wooo Hooo!!
