Pro Bono Button-O

Want a FREE 125x125 button for your website/blog? I noticed many blogs still do not have buttons, and I am planning to make this a sideline in the near future (once I have practiced enough. tee hee). So in light of that, and in the pursuit of happiness (which to me is seeing many more readers come to my blog), I am giving away THREE personalized website/blog buttons that are 125x125 in size (the standard button size) plus the code so you can easily use it anywhere you like. I wanted to give away five, but I'm afraid I still have tons to do to. So if you like to be my guinea pig for this experiment (hehe), please do:

1. Subscribe to my feed and/or follow me (not around,mind you. Just click the Follow button somewhere in the sidebar).

2. Blog about my site (a minimum of 50 words would do).

3. Leave a comment to this post to let me know you are interested, have fulfilled the two requirements, what button design you have in mind, and your IM so we can talk while I am doing your buttons.

Simple, eh? I looked around and I saw that a button normally costs $5 without the code, $8 with it. Of course, since this is just a try out, maybe it wouldn't sell as much if I were to sell it. Hehe. But anyways, I can always redo those freebies if by any chance you grossly dislike it. There is, after all, a great risk that I may not be as gifted in button making as several friends think I am. Harr. BUT, it's FOR FREE so no risk on your part. Hell, I am thinking the worst case scenarios here. Haha!

Come on, I seriously need willing people. This is like my ultimate test. If the three lucky people I pick will like my work, then chances are I will pursue that as a sideline. The three winners will be posted in a separate entry, and the buttons will also be posted once they are all finished. Will be good for my portfolio, if EVER I get to make it to the real thing. Don't worry. All graphics to be used are either copyright free or purchased. So there. Oh god. Please tell me you're interested. I am THAT desperate.

I Hate My Handwriting Right Now

It went from teacher-like to doctor-like in a span of five years. When I was in school, I was uber industrious when jotting down notes for class and was even the source of notes for most of my classmates who were either always absent or too lazy to take down anything. It came to a point when I had to buy just the notebook refills instead of the whole binder so I can accommodate this demand. Now my hands only know my keyboard. I rarely write anything manually. And if I did, I do it with all the enthusiasm I reserve only for pap smear and rectal examination. Anyways, while I was away from Earth, Tetcha, in her usual sweet self, gave me a Penmanship Tag, whose rules are to:

1. Write down who tagged you.
2. Answer these:
-your name / username / pseudo
-right-handed or left-handed?
-your favorite letters to write?
-your least favorite letters to write?
- Write “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”
3. Tag five persons.


As mentioned, I am tagging pehpot, melanie, bhoyet, aria and ness. I just have to point out that it took a lot of effort just for me to post this tag. I reformatted the hard drive a couple of days ago and I have not yet installed the printer/scanner driver so I had to look for the driver CD which was apparently missing, SO I had to download the driver online, which took me 20 minutes because of the goddamn connection. So you see, it's not just an entry for me. It's two hours worth of waiting and work. LOL. Oh what lengths I go to just to make it up to you people. And seeing that this blog's visits went down while I was gone, I obviously need to go the extra mile. Hee hee.

Speaking of which, I will announce tomorrow (announce. like it was the royal decree of some sort. tee hee.) something that I feel would make this blog buzzing and alive again. I wish. Be back tomorrow :)
