I have just about finished my new linkware template. I have to make just a few changes to it, otherwise, it’s just about complete. I will hope to have it out by Monday, so I will finish it up, today, and tomorrow.
My template looks great, so far!!

I have started a new template. It’s very floral. It’s called Roses-roses-everywhere. It features a very rosy theme, and has lots of reds and soft pinks, yellows, and purples. Right now I’m doing the layout cells, and the main images for the template. I hope to release it sometime during the week. I’m sure I can get it done, really fast. I will try to make this template look really good. I’m also planning on removing a couple of my existing templates, because they are very boring, and they don’t have a nice look to them. I’ll have to do some more thinking on this.
I can’t wait to have my rose template released. It’s looking great, so far. I think this is a really good one, one of the best ones I’ve ever made. The images of the flowers that I’m using in the design is royalty free stock images, that are freely licensed. I found them from a few different places, one of my most favourite places to find stock photos, is Free foto. They offer a huge selection of high resolution images, that are all royalty free. I have a few other places that I really like, too, but I can’t seem to think of their names. I use most of my images on my web design projects, from Free Foto.
I hope to get a working example of my template out, soon, to have a preview. It will just take me a few more days, to complete this project.

The heat is back again, and there is not really very much to say. I’m going to be doing some web design stuff this weekend, and that’s about it!

Today, we are having a big get together. It’s one of our relative’s birthday, and we are having all of our family over to our new house. We just fineshed decorating. There’s lots, and lots of balloons, and streamers all put up. We’re also having a big dinner, with a dessert of Chocolate cake and ice cream, one of my favourites! Tonight is going to be our first big party in our new house. It’s quite exciting. I’m going to have to take lots of pictures, with my new digital camera. Everyone will be here, in a couple of hours. We’re starting to make dinner, now, so it will be ready when all of our guests arrive. The cake is now cooling, and it will be frosted soon. It’s really fun decorating, and blowing up all of the balloons, I’ve always loved doing that.
Weather
The weather is perfect for our party, today. It’s really nice outside. It’s not to hot and not too cold. It’s also got a nice breeze blowing.
Current Conditions
It’s overcast, and it’s 21°C. It’s supposed to reach a high of 24°C, with the humidex of 29°C.

Before I release ‘Expressions 1.1′, the second in my ‘Expressions Template Series’, I want to make a nice looking personal template. I’m still deciding what I should call it, and what the basic look will be, and if I should add any extra features to it. I’m not quite sure what ‘Theme’ I want to design it on, either. I’m not sure if it should be floral, summer, fall, or a winter theme. I want to make it look really good, before I release it.
I will have to get back to you, on this one.

The last couple of days have been very uncomfortably hot. Well, we are going to get an air conditioner, because it’s just too hot to live without one. We can’t even open the windows, because it’s like a furnace outside! We are having a bunch of people come in to give us quotes. There are a couple of good brands of air conditioners, that we like: Amana, Trane, Carrier, and a few other ones. Most of the contractors are really busy, because there are many people buying air conditioners, now. I do hope that we could get ours installed, soon, because it’s really hot and uncomfortable. We have many fans on, but they only circulate around the hot air. So, we need air conditioning, and fast!

There’s not very much to say, right now, except it’s EXTREMELY HOT! The heat is very intense, especially when there’s no air conditioning. The warm weather’s only supposed to continue on, and on. We will get rain here and there, but when it does rain, it very humid and stickey, out. I hope that we will be able to get and air conditioner, soon. Right now, I have a ceiling fan in my bedroom, and we also have one in almost every room of the house, but on the really hot days, all they do is move around hot air, which does not really make things cooler.
I have been working more on web design, and I released a new linkware template. I called it Expressions 1.0. It is the first of the new ‘Expressions’ series at ShaneBellinger Web Design. It has two vibrant colours, Blue, and Orange. It features two sidebars.
I have also been doing some work on my design site. I hugely updated it. I added many more pages, and completely re-did the entire design. I used Dreamweaver, like always. I put in a drop-down JavaScript DHTML menu, that was courtesy of Milonic. Milonic offers many, many free and easy-to-use and setup DHTML, and CSS menus, for you to download an use on your website. I found a menu that went perfect with my new design, on my web design site. It is a sporty blue and yellow menu, just like the colours I used on my website.
Since I releasedmy first ‘Expressions’ Template, I might start planning another design, soon. I will probably release the next ‘Expressions’ template sometime in August.
I do have some template plans, I hope to release a few ‘professional’ looking templates in November. I’ve got to start planning them out, soon.

General.
Today, is going to be an extremely hot day! It’s going to get to a high of 33°C, with the humidex factor of 45°C! It’s really hot, already, and it’s early in the moring. It’s about 25°C, with the humidex factor of about 32°C. I don’t really like it when it get this hot, because it makes it uncomfortable to do anything! I can’t even work on my computer, when it gets this hot, because the computer makes everything seem ten times hotter.

My new template ‘Expressions 1.0′ is nearly complete. I just have to put the finishing touches on it. It’s looking really good, so far. I can’t wait to get it released! I have been working really hard on this new template, so it’s only going to take me one more day to complete it. This weekend, we are going to be busy I know that we will be going out. I have to get a wireless card for my computer. I also need to clean up, today. The weekend is going to be really hot. It is going to be like 30°C, with humidex factors, so it’s going to be really hot. We don’t yet have air conditioning, because our house is new. I do have a ceiling fan in my room, and it seems to keep my room at a comfortable tempurature. We will be getting central ai, next year, when the construction around us is finally done.
My To do list for the Weekend:
Clean out my Closet.
Finish ‘Expressions 1.0′
Help Clean up.
Tidy up my bedroom.
Do anything else that needs to be done.
Weather
Today, for Ottawa, we are looking at Sunny skies, with a high of 29°C, with the Humidex of 35°C.
Updates on Saturday
Well, we were out pretty much all day long, and we just got back home. We were supposed to go to a few other stores, today, but they were closed when we got there. I was supposed to get a wireless network access card, for my PC. I’m going to have to get it, tomorrow. We will go earlier, before the stores close.
We also have to go a few other place, tomorrow.

I have started a new webset to offer as a linkware on my Web Design Site. It is the first of a new series, that I have called the ‘Expressions Series’ I have started the first of the series, Expressions 1.0. It has very vibrant, and expressive colours in it. I am doing the base design with Macromedia Dreamweaver. I did most of the graphics with Macromedia Fireworks, and Macromedia Freehand, the same thing I used to design most of my other websets, and my entire Design site, exept on my web design site, and some of my other websets, I added some Flash content. I think the designing process of this new template, will be just a few more days, and then I can offer it to download. By the looks of things, I think that I have had some downloads, because I’m getting quite a lot of hits. I hope eventually to clean up my download section, and offer only really nice templates, because I only really like a few of them. I also like the one I’m designing right now. It’s turining out really good.

Today, we have to go out a few places. I also have to clean up my bedroom, because It looks messy. I also have to do a few web things. I’m planning on creating another linkware template, for my web design site. I want to make it look absolutely great. I’m not to fond of the other ones that I’m offering at my site, I only really like one of them. I used to rush too much and complete them in ten minutes. But the one I really like, it took my about two weeks to do. I’m going to take my time, on the one I’m going to do.

Today was a very nice day. The weather was not to hot, and it was not too cold. It was about 22°C, with sun. It is supposed to be about this tempurature, tomorrow, but on Friday, the really warm weather is continuing, again. I like warm weather, but sometimes, here and there, we need a break, with weather like today. Tomorrow, we are supposed to be going out, again. We have to go a few places. I also have to tidy up a little, tomorrow.

I totally re-did the nav system on my Design site. It took quite a while to do it. I ran into a few code problems, but of course, I fixed them. The nav system is a fancy drop-down menu bar. I like those types of nav systems better than just a side bar full of links, or a nav bar. I got the base codes for the menu at Dynamic Drive. Dynamic drive is a great site for nav systems, other web stuff, and cool codes, that do really neat things. I’m very pleased with my new menu system!
