History

How Fairytaled began...
At school, all our friends had like personal piczo sites with glitters and pictures. Guess how was ours?! Then we found some websites we loved and we started to learn HTML. We also learned to do graphics with Paint Shop Pro & Photoshop. We made a site after that with help from different sites and our friends. Rossi used to own a resources site, Live-Lol-Ly @ Piczo, and Alyssa used to own a fansite, HSM-Central @ Piczo. So we obviously started with Piczo! We slowly starting talking, and soon became friends. Soon, Piczo got easy for us so we tried with Freewebs. One day, Aly came up with the name and Rossi, with the idea of co-owning the site. So here we are with Fairytaled, which officially opened on November 30th, 2008.

First anniversary blog
Oh my God. Am I really alive? I am! I'm terribly sorry that I failed majorly to blog more often, which was a kind of resolution for me. I will try to, but might fail again. I have to admit that I was kinda lazy, but while I'm blogging now, I realize that I like to talk to you-people-of-the-Internet-that-I-don't-really-know-personally. It's kinda fun to be able to talk about stuff to people, even if you don't really know them. Know what I'm talking about? Probably not. I'm crazy these days. xD

So, as you can see, there's a new layout! I made it a while ago, when Aly was still owning. I hope you like it. It's kind of professional, which is something I do more often now, because of the fansites layouts I make for people. I like it pretty much. And the coding is okay, but I don't think it's my best. Well, I don't know. You tell me. :) Anyway. You might have seen the text on the layout. Well, yeah. It's Fairytaled's 1st birthday! Woop! *Claps claps* I'd like to thank everyone for the support, and the 20 000+ hits! 20 000 hits! Like OMG. I cannot believe it. Thank you SO much. I love you all, you-people-of-the-Internet-that-I-don't-really-know-personally. :)

This year, plenty of stuff happened. First, I improved. Well, I think I did. Just look at my old graphics and my new ones. I think I did. I really can't believe that I started with little live-lol-ly that no one knew about, and that now, I have fairytaled, which was opened with an amazing best friend, on the Internet. :) I kind of realized that some people actually come to my site. I find that amazing, to be able to help and inspire others. It's an awesome feeling. *I feel like making a thank you speech, like on a awards show. xD* Second, well, Aly left. Which was hard for me on the moment, but now, I know that it's her choice. If she wants to come back, the door will always be open. If she wants to show off her new graphics skills (xD), she'll always have the chance too. I didn't change the username/password. You can hack me if you want, but DON'T. xD Third, piczo "improved". Yeah right. They like don't realize that they lost a WHOLE BUNCH of people to freewebs, which is much pro and better. So piczo peeps, come to webs! Plus, a LOT of people have stopped designing and having a site. Many abandonned their sites, took a hiatus, or made a HUGE revamp. *Cough*Aly&I*Cough* And last, because I don't want to bore you with my rambling, which I probably am already, but oh well, I started designing for fansites. Which is a big step for me, because my style changed because of it and I had the chance to meet new people and face some challenges. My professional side came out! Okay. That was random. xD Last, I think, many things happened in my personal life. I changed friends, ish, I realised an artistic side of me, etc.

Anyways. You're probably wondering where the heck I've been in the past month. Well, school sucks, as always. I had a lot of projects, team work, and stuff. I'm also planning on making an amateur movie with my friends. I think it's gonna be pretty cool. Plus, I fixed myself an goal, which was to make mini-blends of every celebrity folder I have in my computer. I failed miserably. I'm like not even halfway. But it's LOOOOONNNNNG! I have something like 45(44) minis. Imagine all my folders. :| The ones I did will be at the complete end of the blog. I surely did other graphics too, such as icons, normal sized layout, some PNGs, coded layouts, and more. To "celebrate" in a way FT's first anniversary, I counted everything I had on the site. It's not precise, but you can have an idea.
