I want juice

If only I could be bothered to walk all the way down to the kitchen and get some. But in the mean time I'm working on launching on a new site dedicated a singer I have really got into recently, Heather Nova.

For you Dawson's Creek fans you may know her from the song London Rain which was used in the show. You have to listen to her other stuff to really get what she is about though.

Getting those projects running

I often find I have a lot of projects I have started, even got domains for and have on the internet but never really finished. So I decided I should have a flick through my inventory and see what was there. One of which was FanSites.ws which officially launched this morning.

All that really needed doing was to finish the application form and homepage off, easy enough. The directory needed updating too, it's powered by Particle Links which is a solid script (I know because I wrote it :p) so static URLs just needed putting in place and the sites that had not yet been added were put in.

Blogs are the way to go

Ok, I admit it, I've gone crazy. I've gone OTT this time. No less than five new blogs launched yesterday. But only four domains, one of them was launched on a sub domain which I think shows considerable restraint on my part.

As I mentioned in my personal blog, I have been working on Horror Blog which is now online. I've also been working on a new network of blogs which includes Movie Steak, Music Steak, Hollywood Steak and DVD Steak.

Branch Planet get a forum

One of my fansites is Branch Planet which is one of my main ones that I make sure I have something new for every day. Anyway, I've finally got round to launching a forum on it. Has a custom skin and everything. The one I did was way better integrated but sucked. It was awesome actually but it just wasn't working for me.

Bringing the linkage

I've just started playing around with the static page capability on WordPress as I'm using it to power a new site, Celeb Linkage. The site was just going to be a directory but I felt I needed some content too so I thought I might as well just use a CMS as there wouldn't be that many categories.

I'd also toyed with the idea of doing a celeb blog recently but I couldn't produce enough content to make it a site on itself. You need fresh pictures every day for that and Leeds isn't a hub of celebrity activity really. But I thought I could incorporate it into the site so I decided to give WordPress a go and see what happened. Seems to be working out ok so far.

New blog

I've just set up a new blog on Blogger which charts stuff that is happening at my halls of residence at uni. As today is like the last day it doesn't have a great deal on it at the moment but over time it should build up. It's called Grant House Gossip.
