Planetpayne gets a facelift!

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Over a year in the making, the new planetpayne.com is finally live! It’s been a long time coming I know, but the truth is I don’t like to do anything half ass and I wanted this update to be big. Most of the old photos from planetpayne have been migrated over, and about 2,500 new photos have been added. I have also spent most of the time working on this site building an automated system that makes adding images from my iPhoto library a breeze, which will mean more photos, more often!

For those of you who kept tabs on planetpayne with a RSS feed, you will most likely have to add this feed again as the URL has changed from /home/ to /blog/. Anyway, let me know if you find any weird bugs. I will be fiddling with the site over the next few days so if you see something weird, give it a few minutes and it might magically fix itself.

Oh and by the way, this site will most likely look like crap in IE 6. If you’re using IE 6, please don’t. If you really love IE 6 or are afraid of change and want to tell me about IE 6 bugs, please don’t. I may currently value your friendship and I would hate for that to end once I learn that you still use IE 6 :). That said, there are probably IE 7 & 8 bugs, but I will iron those out shortly. In the meantime do everyone a favor and use a browser that doesn’t suck, like Firefox or Safari.

Ta da!

I finally finished Ingrid’s purse. It was Ingrid’s idea to add the flower. I wasn’t into it at first but now it’s growing on me. The flower makes it more girlish, more Ingrid. The pattern is from a calendar my mom gave me, which features one knitting project for each day of the year. This project was sometimes a headache (lots of ripping rows), but I got to learn some useful tricks, like Chevron patterning, moss stitch, and mattress seaming. I already have my next project picked out… actually, the next two!

Check out Ingrid’s new shoes while you’re looking, she’s told me she loves them about a hundred times so far.

Actually, Otto was not agreeable to Pluto’s plan. Lucky for Pluto, I was on the couch to stop Otto from attacking Pluto.
