I just put in a couple of applications in the Characters: TV category. One of those is for a wishlister that I had applied to adopt a few times in the past, and the other one should be on my wishlist. Time to rectify that and put her on it! I don't know how much of a chance I have, but I have to at least attempt.

I spent a good chunk of the weekend working on my ToDo list, and redid the layout on 3 of my listings. They all look significantly better than they did, and I'm happy with the results.

(Nov 19: ETA - I just finished the listing for Hawks!)

If I can get all of that done easily, I do have another listing or two that I want to change over to run in WP. I'm pretty excited with learning how to do this!

I have also started working on my To-Do List. Slowly but surely, I'm going to be making improvements to my listings. I'm also working my way through my joined listings, to verify that all are still open, or to correct addresses on those that have moved. And, of course, while I'm going through those lists, I'm joining even more listings. Shame on me, though, I discovered that I had never listed one of my own fanlistings under joined! Oops. Once I'm done with checking all those links, I'll be working on doing the same for all the affiliates for my listings.

Speaking of affiliates -- I have a post at the TFL boards, looking for more affiliates. If you're interested, feel free to let me know here or there!

I got approved for the listing for the FreeCreditReport.com commercials. That listing should be up within the next week or two.

I also created a To-Do list for myself on the site. I wanted to keep track of the updates I need to do on the site in one place. I'm hoping it'll help keep me focused on what needs to be done.

At the moment, school is starting to get a little bit tougher. I still have a 4.0GPA, but it's going to take more of my time and focus now to keep that 4.0. I have ideas for another listing or two to apply for, but I'm glad I'm taking my time on applying, since I wouldn't be able to work on more than one or two listings at a time.

I've also applied for another listing, and have one or two more I'm debating applying for. School's going well enough that I think I have the time to start building new ones again. But I'm going slowly, I don't want to get too many going and then have school suddenly demand all my time and leave me unable to get the listings up.

I don't believe I've mentioned it here, but the company I work for is going out of business. This was announced a few months ago, and I'm still here, helping to close the company down. I'll likely be in one of the last groups to be released from duty, since I deal in the finance/treasury end of things. We think that our final day here will be on March 28, but things could take longer (or quicker) to wind up, so there's no definite date yet.

What does this mean in regards to my fanlistings? It just means I've been extra busy with work (and with trying to get into a vocational rehabiliation program), and so my "free time" to work on listings has been limited. In addition to the two that I need to finish, I have several that are sorely in need of new layouts, that I've sadly had to postpone. When I'm finally released from my position here -- I might have a little extra time to work on the revamps. Then again, I might be too busy with rehab & looking for a new job that I don't get to spend as much time as I'd like on them. But, once I get a new job, and settle into a new schedule, things should even back out for me again, and I'll be able to put my full focus on my fanlistings. Wish me luck in the job hunt!

Edit: March 08, 2008 - Both fanlistings are completed and open!

Edit -- I was just also approved for Mark Hildreth under the Male Musicians category, in addition to Actors. Woot!

I somehow managed to break the KIM script I'm using, I hope to have time to dig into the code soon, and figure out what I did. If I can't, I guess I'll just reinstall it again! That should be working soon, but if there's anything you wish to have me list you for, just feel free to contact me.

Part of the reason for the lateness of the update, I had two more fanlistings that I was working on. Crystal allowed me to adopt the Flora, Fauna, & Merryweather ("Sleeping Beauty") listing, and I was also approved to run the M&M's: Green listing. Both are now open and ready for members!

I've recoded a few more of my older fanlistings. I'm still making my way through them, neatening up the code. I'm going to be going on vacation in 9 days, and while I'm out of town, my friend Emily and I are planning on working on the graphics to redesign the entire Brendan Fletcher site. Once we have the images done for the layout, I plan on attacking the code once I'm home. That will be the trickiest one for me, since the main part of the site is run off Wordpress, and I haven't done a layout for Wordpress before.

I'm going to be going through all of my older listings as I can, recoding them, switching old tables over to divs, and just generally neatening any other excessive code I might have.

I was also approved for the listing for the song "Kiwi" by Maroon 5. I'm still working on codes for the site, but outside of that it's complete.

I'm pretty pleased with the way both of these listings turned out. And, since I finally got my PSP working again, I'm also working on more codes for the Willow & Andrew fanlisting. I also was able to complete the redesign of the fanlisting.

I went through all of my joined fanlistings over the weekend, making sure they were all still active. Thankfully, most of the dead links had only just moved, so I only had to update links and only delete one or two. Now it's time for me to start on my owned listings, going through the affiliates and members lists to check that the links are all still good. After this link-check, I might try to set myself up on a schedule, checking a different listing each weekend, rotating through the list on a continual basis. It's a good plan - we'll see if I can stick to it.
