    Just some thoughts

    Yeah. Been awhile, I know.

    Why I Don't Write Here Anymore

    I suppose it's been on my mind for a long time, but it never really occurred to me until recently. And because a few of you have been waiting for some projects I promised I'd finished, you deserve to know, as well.

    This exists . . .

    This is a thing that exists. This was made with effort, and money.

    And Hasbro actually put their name on this.

    . . .

    . . .

    . . .

    I'm gonna step away from this one.

    My good friend needs some support

    You all probably know HudsonHawk, especially if you know me. Even though I've never met the man in person, he's my best friend on this site, on the internet, and probably ever.

    Embarking on a new venture

    Recently I discovered a site for content creators called Daisie. It allows people to post their work and ask for collaborators, and it was created by actress Maisie Williams, whom many of you might know as Arya Stark from Game of Thrones.

I FINALLY DID IT!!! · 10:39pm May 17th, 2015



:yay:I'VE BEEN FEATURED!!:yay:

You'd have to turn off the View Mature setting to see it, but it's there!

Yeah, I know, it's no big deal. It's just an algorithm, basically no heavy influence from people. But I'm still glad for it. I've been here for about eight months, and I've finally gotten featured. On a fic that, Ironically, took over a day to get accepted.

Two cases of my patience paying off! :trollestia::moustache::ajsmug:

Thanks for reading, everyone! Couldn't have done this without you!

I prefer not getting featured, despite my having been on this site for over 2 years. :pinkiesmile: Popularity tends to bring out the worst in people.

Congratulations! :raritywink:

Oh, and can I ask how you embedded those screencaps? You can't just copy and past them, can you?

Congrats! :pinkiehappy:

3076873 To each their own. :twilightsmile: For me, it means someone's paying attention to what I write. It makes me feel good.


3076879 In the section where you reply, there's a little icon of a picture/landscape kinda thingie. CLick on that, it'll give you a window with a text box below it. Enter the image URL of the pic you want to use, and the pic should appear in the window. Then click "Add Image", and the URL will show up with tags in the reply box. When you post, the image itself will be there. Hope that helps. :twilightsmile:


3076881 Thanks! :pinkiehappy:

You have to use a screencapping program of some sort. He has those screenshots hosted on Facebook. :twilightsmile:

My suggestion is to use your Google+ account. If you go to your profile, there's a dropdown menu when you mouse over "Home" called "Photos" and you can upload any photo you want there and get a unique URL for posting pictures. It's also anonymous; no one can tell what account hosted it. :scootangel:

She posted a picture in her comment, silly. :pinkiesmile: She was asking how you managed to post a screenshot of the site in your blog.

Has it really been 8 months since I forced you to join this site? God how time flies. :ajsleepy:
Also you're gonna hate me for this but when I opened your screen cap the very first thing I noticed was that Chaos vs Order had been updated. :rainbowlaugh: Seriously though, it's pretty cool. Check it out.

3076879 All you have to do is screencap it, open some sort of picture editing program, paste it in, crop, save it as a jpeg, upload it somewhere, (FB, Dev art, whatever works.) then embed here. Sounds long, but it's a really quick process.

3076889 But how did you get an image of the front page? There's no url for an image of that specifically.

3076894 I didn't catch that . . . :twilightoops:

I just used the "prt sc" key, pasted to Paint, took it to this site:

http://apps.pixlr.com/editor/

I tinkered with it there, uploaded that to Facebook, and just did the same thing she did in her comment. It works the same way, after all.

3076896 Okay, thanks! That's been confusing me for a long time. :twilightsmile:

BRO!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! :pinkiehappy:

(Hugs tightly)

I knew it would happen someday. You're a much better writer than you give yourself credit for. I'm glad you're still here, bro, and doubly so because you finally achieved one of your goals.

Well done!

I guess I didn't explain the whole thing. :twilightsheepish:

You can get screenshots one of two ways. There's the Print Scrn key:
redesudeste.com.br/comunidade/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/printscreen_2.jpg

which will get your entire screen, or the snipping tool:
capture-screenshot.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Where-to-find-Snipping-Tool.jpg

which will let you get parts of your screen. The Snipping Tool lets you save the screenshot directly to a file, whereas Print Scr will copy it to your clipboard, then you have to go into Paint and paste the picture, then edit it around to make it look right, then save it.

Then, you go to your Google account:
lh5.googleusercontent.com/-0yjal2HbylY/VVkgN3yMv_I/AAAAAAAAFU0/-TVFutBN2K8/w1598-h716-no/Google%2BAccount.PNG

Mouse over "Home" and select "Photos" from the list:
lh4.googleusercontent.com/-UI7v4_9E6IM/VVkf7LRu1WI/AAAAAAAAFUQ/wHhzz6GI3x4/w721-h787-no/Select%2BPhotos.png

Then you select "Upload Photos" from the top banner:
lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZgMt4b50qLI/VVkf6BReNfI/AAAAAAAAFUI/wEyLIAO_Z6I/w494-h69-no/Upload%2BPhotos.PNG

Then you can get portions of the site all you want... like I've got! :pinkiehappy:

Congratulations, I guess there is a lesson here about persevering or something.

I dunno, I'm at work trying to avoid coming back from my lunch. Really I'm just delaying the inevitable.

I know this sounds silly but I'd like to see one of my stories in that box one day. I guess I should get writing.

What was the point of my rambling again? Oh right, delay my return from lunch...

Lucky! I don't think I've ever been featured.

Then again, I'm still new.

VICTORY!

(I really should just follow you so I don't miss out on your stories like I have in the past...)

3077429 Aw, thanks. I appreciate that. :pinkiehappy:
