User blog:BlazingStar/The New Archived News Section

Now that I've decided I'm going to have one of these Wikia blog things, I have to transfer all of the things that I had posted in the "Recent Activity" section on my user page to...well, here. Fortunately, it wasn't all that much. Obviously, it grows with time, though.

In the following posts you can find important events such as when I first became an admin, when I started my crusade on infoboxes, and my mini-party over my 100th edit. So without further ado, here it is! (Look, it's even in chronological order! Aren't I awesome?)

May 17: 300th edit
Wow, I'm really racking up these things! The third-centennial mark (okay I know this isn't an anniversary, but still...) was me adding one of those new shiny infoboxes to Rip van Winkle's page, and adding a picture. I think. Okay, fine. I'll get excited. *waves flag* Whoop de doo.

Sun. May 15: Created Character Infobox template
At last, this wiki has a template for the character infoboxes! Do you know how tedious it was having to copy the code over and over again each time we wanted to insert a box?! I finally figured out how to make the template! Hooray! *does a little cha-cha dance* (For more info, see this blog post.)

Wed., May 12, 2010: Wanted Pages and sidebar
I'm putting out a cry for help on this wiki, once and for all. We now have a page for the stuff we need but the admins aren't able to add! Like a shopping list of sorts. Hopefully we'll get some help. I mean, I put it right up there on the main page.

Speaking of the Main Page, it's gotten a makeover recently. Now I put up all sorts of stuff, right up front, and rearranged a couple sections. Go me! These admin powers sure are handy. :D

The sidebar's gotten some new looks, too. Although I'm mostly experimenting, I'm basing our look on the sidebars of the best wikis I can find- the Bleach Wikiand the Darker Than Black Wiki. And it's absolutely pure coincidence that those two just happen to be my favorite animes right now. That's right, coincidence. *innocent look*

Sun., April 25: 200th edit
My 200th edit happened to be leaving a welcome/encouragement message to SlavEliseev, so that's just another thing I have to thank her for, other than her recent category-adding edit work! Go SlavEliseev! *throws confetti*

Yeah, I'm not going to throw a party like I did last time. I suppose it's like getting older- the more birthdays you have, the less big a deal birthday parties are. So the more edits you have, the less major the edit-count landmarks are going to seem.

Mon. April 5: 100 edits
So...yeah. Over the weekend, this little thing happened- I now officially have 100 edits. What's that? You didn't hear me? I now have 100 EDITS, people! I am now taking deep breaths, trying not to freak out here, because I already kinda did that when I got my adminship. So I'll just quietly congratulate myself. Besides, I already celebrated by using my new super-admin powers to change the skin on this wiki. Pretty cool, huh? :D

New Project
My new mini-project is fixing all of the broken links on this wiki. (There's quite a few of them, I'm sad to say.) My modus operandi? Easy- I just head on over to the "Wanted Pages" page, which can be found on the Main Page. (Was that a little too redundant? o.o) Anyway, a lot of those "wanted pages" are not really wanted pages at all, but are broken links.

Hmm...
I'm also thinking about moving this whole "Recent Activity" section to my "Blog", which is currently blank. After all, that's where you're supposed to update your activity on this wiki. Besides, this section is getting pretty long...*sigh* Just something for me to think about in the future.

Thurs. April 1: I'M AN ADMIN!
Star-chan is now an admin, peoples! W00t! *throws confetti* Sniff...I'd like to thank the academy, and Wikia, and the Wikia Academy, and especially The Color Earth-san, who gave me super-special admin powers. ADMIN POWAZ, GO!!! *takes sentai superhero stance*

Okay, so I might be getting a little carried away here. But I really am excited, and I truly think The Color Earth-san is awesome (see, I even added a Japanese honorific after his name!) because he helped me on the infoboxes and everything. Together, the two of us will RULE THE WORLD! make this wiki great.

Fri. Mar. 26: Infobox project announcement
Right now, my pet project on this wiki is infoboxes. You know, those cool template-boxes under the picture of a character, item or episode that you see around different wikis. This wiki needs infoboxes, and I have no idea how to do it. Please, please, if anybody has any tips on starting a new infobox template on a wikia, leave a note on my Talk page. *bows* Arigato! ^_^

UPDATE
The epically awesome Color Earth, who is basically the adoptive father of this wiki I suppose, helped me out on this. I am now travelling the wiki, making infoboxes for the characters in the name of justice! So here's one big shout-out to The Color Earth-san.
