Grrrr...

Why hello, cold from hell! *grumble* *sneeze* *blows nose* Gah! My nose is so stuffed it ain't even funny. And so is my ears, and my eyes are a bit odd acting to. My work-mates nearly threw me out from work today. I just had time to watch St Lucia and her maid's sing at work. After that, off I went, fell on the sofa and watched At Worlds End again. (I so love that movie.)

I really don't have time to be sick. And it is a bit embarrising to be sick this week, since next week my Christmas vacation that I managed to get starts. I won't get back to work until beginning of January... *sneeze* GAH! Feels like my whole head is about to fall off! Oh well. Where was I? Yes. This weekend we are off to my mothers (first trip). The wonderfully insane and funny farmers are going to have one of those get drunk like hell, eat good food and have fun parties on saturday. And sunday after that on our way home, we are going to visit my second cousin who has her 40th birthday. Busy weekend. It feels a bit like a relief actually that I have a vacation after that. I think I need it to what with all the stress and stuff at work lately. Much love for my boss for letting me.

*sneeze* *swears* *blows nose*

On an LJ side of things, I am finding so many pretty layouts, it is amazing. Some real talent out there, I must say. Would anyone be intrested in any tips on layout communities? Most have layouts for all, free plus and paid/permanent. And if I can figure out there instructions, anyone can. Trust me. :-)

*sneeze* *blows nose*

Plan for tomorrow is to sneeze my brains out through my nose and play WoW and drink hot chocolate. I'll try to get out the door to to mail my christmasgifts to my friends.

On a WoW-related news, I got my tauren hunter to level 70 the other day! WOHOO! I never thought I'd get there. :-D So now I have one character up in the highest level.. Time for the next one. *grabs small green-haired gnome by neck*

Here are some screen-shots of Huntress Skyfire. Just click the links and enjoy. Anyone who said computer games are ugly pixel-stuff haven't played World of Warcraft. I say the graphic artists that did the coding for this? They are artists, I say...

But first, the classical "ding"-shot. When a character reaches the next level a small ding can be heard, and the character glows for a moment, like hit by a lightning. Last ding you'll get is when you reach the highest level. Most add to the memories, eh? ;-)


More screenshots! During Halloween this year there were a temporary enemy in the game you could fight called the Headless Horseman. And if you were lucky he dropped a broom you could ride. Now... Taurens look very silly on those things..


Gnomes however look perfectly on those broom's. Like they were made for them. This is a warlock to boot so it works even better.


Now for the really beautiful pictures... I am using these as my backgrounds at the moment.

The sky in Outland (Burning Crusade) is whole other chapter all together. In the areas where you are between level 1 - 60 it is a regular blue, with som rain pouring down from it at times. In Outland where you are between level 60 - 70 however... Well. Look for yourself.






Stunning aren't they?

Well, my and Peting are as you know playing together. He has many, MANY characters that he plays in high levels. Still asking for help though. Here is his handsome rogue Cacus and Skyfire with her cat Mysty.


Of course they managed to finish of the quest for the orcs, and was rewarded by a demonic firework. Completly harmless, of course! But very, very pretty.


Thing with Outland is, that it is a shattered land. Litterary. More gorgous area-pictures from Outland.




See? Gorgous game, ain't it? It is both that it is fun that I still play it. And that it is such a wonderful eye-candy. I still, after having played it for soon two years (geez..) find new pretty places to loook at. :-)

*sneeze* *swears* *blows nose... again*

I am off. Take care, folks! :-)

You are sick too often. Go eat some chicken soup.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Chicken soup is not good. I don't like it. And I am not sick that often... am I? :-P

[hedwig-dreams.livejournal.com]

Ohhh... Get well soon... and I know the feeling of not wanting to be sick just before a vacation (even if mine has been posponed utill sometime next year)

STILL! Being sick suck! BIG TIME!

Take care will you *hugs*

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Indeed it does. Suck big time. My nose hurt for blowing it so much, but I still gotta blow it, because I am still sneezing like wooe.... So, yeah. No fun at all. :-P I'll work on taking care of this bleeding cold... *growls*

[croaky.livejournal.com]

Get well soon! ..oh and yes, always interested in where to find nice layouts (HAVEN'T FOUND ONE I CAN STAND YET MAN I AM HOPELESS)!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

*lol* Code a layout yourself then! I know you can, I have seen your website. ;-D I'll make another post about layouts, if you help me... :-D How do you do it, when you have a picture that is also a link, so to speak? If a small icon, for exampel and then you clicked it and a big picture opened up. How to write that in an entry. I know you have done it many times. I wanted to do it here, with my WoW-pictures, but I didn't know how. Help? :-P

[croaky.livejournal.com]

Oh the CSS codes of the LJ layouts are way more complicated than my webpage. x/ I could do it though, if I had a good base code to tweak. But so far I haven't found any.

Oh an image link? Sure, it's easy and basic.

<A HREF="http://url to full image here"> <IMG SRC="http://url to thumbnail here"> </A>

To copy-n-paste the URLs to the images and thumbnails, just to go your gallery and right-click on a thumbnail and choose 'Copy Image Location'. That copies the image/thumbnail's url so you can just paste it into your entry.

[croaky.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, of course, you can always add stuff to your IMG tag to change it. Such as <IMG SRC="http:// image url" border=1 title="Image Title"> ...'Border' being the pixel width of the border of the image when it is a link (it can also be 0, which makes no border -i use this a lot), and 'Title' being the text that will be instead of the image while it loads or if the image is broken (sometimes also visible on mouse-over).

example:
(http://pics.livejournal.com/kseenaa/pic/00013q97)

code:
<a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/kseenaa/pic/00013q97"><IMG SRC="http://pics.livejournal.com/kseenaa/pic/00013q97/t3264" border=1></a>

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Thanx Croaky. :-D I didn't know how to do that. ;-) Only, now I can only get every other picture to work... Ever had that problem? *points upwards* I am trying to do some pretty links for this here entry. :-( But it don't wanna work for me. Funny thing is, the code I wrote for the link working looks the same as the code I wrote for the link not working...?!?! Ever had that problem?!?!!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Here is the working code and the not working one, using * instead of " so you can see it.

Working one: (*http://pics.livejournal.com/kseenaa/pic/0003pa1t*)

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<img [...] ding!*>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

Here is the working code and the not working one, using * instead of " so you can see it.

Working one: <A HREF=*http://pics.livejournal.com/kseenaa/pic/0003pa1t*> <IMG SRC=*http://pics.livejournal.com/kseenaa/pic/0003pa1t/s320x240* border=0 title=*Skyfire DING!*></A>

Hmm ok, that's odd. i really can't answer that besides one thing, -since I can SEE some of the html tags in the entry i can only assume you cope-n-pasted my code as I wrote it, but the one with the weird & l t ; etc symbols in it. Those signs written together is the ascii code for the little arrow (sörre än/mindre än) symbols. I only used them so that you could SEE the html tags in my reply (on the page, not in the comment email). They do NOT belong in a real HTML tag. ALL HTML starts and ends with one of those little arrow thingies. Just like an LJ-CUT. So. No strange symbols, just start with an arrow thingie and end with an arrow thingie, and keep the code within.

Optionally, if typing all these codes gets annoying, you can download a journal client program such as Semagic (http://semagic.sourceforge.net/) that can help you with posting images etc. It's like using a small Wordpad program that posts to LJ. I use this one, btw. Very handy. :3

Sorry if I'm confusing. I'm not very good a teacher of html stuffs. I'm just a basic user anyway ^^;;/

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Funny thing is, I AM using Semagic. I just don't know how to make it them nifty codes for me. :-( I am guessing it is Make Link/Image somehow, but... I haven't figured it out. A bit embarrassing really, since I have used Semagic ever since I started using LJ, almost. :-P So.... How do you do it, when you do it in Semagic?

[croaky.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well then. Easy. :3

To make an image:
1. Click CTRL + M
2. Fill in Internet Address/URL with the url to the image ro thumbnail
3. Select the IMAGE choice. Add size of border (or a 0 if no border) if you like, and check the 'detect image size' box if you want the image size to be specified.
4. Fill in a title if you want to. Not needed.
5. Click OK.

You have an image!

To make an image into a link:
1. Highlight/select the image code you just made with your mouse (as if you were to copy-paste it etc)
2. Click CTRL + M
3. Your previously made image tag is now in the 'Link Text' field, which emans this is the text or image which will be click-able as the link.
4. Select the LINK option
5. In Internet Adress/URL, fill in the url to the full-size image.
6. Click OK

Done!

Also. Semagic is smart enough that when you copy an internet address and then click CTRL + M, it will automatically appear in the URL field by itself. :)

Oh GAWD! I LOVE YOU!!! It worked as a charm! (As you can see... *points upwards*) I would never been able to figure that one out. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! *jumps around*

[croaky.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm happy I could help! :D
Looking good!

[chigrima.livejournal.com]

Aw, you poor thing! I hope it will pass quickly (why does one always get sick then one have time off?!) *lots and lots of hugs*

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

I think it is Karma. :-P And thanx! :-) *hugs*

[astroflammante.livejournal.com]

Get well soon! *hugs*

(Garlic helps against colds...)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :-) And so I hear it does. ;-) I'll have to check in on that, don't I? :-P I have eaten a shitload of clementines to get all the C-vitamins, I just hope it helps. :-P
