Updates
Here you can the see different changes I make to The Pokeball. This site was opened on May 31, 2006.
October 6th 2007
New layout! Yay!
I know it's not one of my best, but you can't blame me, since I haven't done website stuff for such a long time. I'll be working on getting a new Who's That? up, but I lost most of the emails for the previous one. It's kind of sad...
I also added a few things to the Affiliate page. I'm really sorry that I don't affiliate with oekakis/forums, but it seems like they wouldn't have much in common with this website.
And yes, I am aware that this avatar sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm not very good at making avatars and stuff...
October 4th 2007
Hey, how's it going! I know it's been months since I updated, I'm sorry for the loss of contact with emails and such. Speaking of that, I have a new email, tzendastar[at]gmail.com. I'm so sorry if you sent an email to me and haven't received a reply. Hotmail did some weird thing, and so now I don't have any of the old emails left.
And did I meantion I'm getting sick of this layout? The design is okay, but as for the colors, it's definitely time for a change. I'm thinking blue...
I also finished a new picture! And there, I'm done rambling.
June 23rd 2007
Gosh it's been a long time since I updated! I don't really know what I should do... pretend like nothing happened? Apologize repeatedly? I think I'll just do both sort of; I'm sorry I was gone so long, and I don't have a decent explanation, so now I'll just try to return things to normal. Does that satisfy everyone? Probably not... but anyhow, I have a TON of emails to go through, and I'm not sure what to do about all the affiliation requests, because perhaps people might not want to affiliate anymore after this long inactivity. I'll just try to work things out, and plus go through those Who's that emails and picture requests...
But you know what rocks? I actually have some stuff for you today! Bet you didn't see that one coming.
May 10th 2007
Today I tweaked some minor things in the layout. Plus I got this cool new avatar; it's a picture I took in my back yard. The roses that have started growing in my yard were part of the inspiration for the colors of this layout. I think they're really pretty, ahh the joys of summer.
Wednesday April 11, 2007
I finally updated. You're all glad to see me again, right? Or maybe you’re furious because I've been gone for such a long time. Well, no matter. The first order of business is that the Who's That? has been updated. I wonder if I've started making them too easy. Well, next up is that we have a new affiliate, Crunchie in a Blender. I have some new requests, and maybe I'll have some done by Saturday. Time will tell...
Saturday March 17, 2007
As you can see, there's a new layout. I hope everyone likes it, even though it's brighter then the old one. My biggest complaint about this layout is that it has problems in Internet Explorer. Why? Why? If anyone knows what's going on, or what I should do to fix it, please let me know. But anyway, I made a cool new avatar to match the layout; it's animated and everything! I know that it's not as good as some, but I myself am rather proud of it, I don't have much practice making avatars. Oh, I almost forgot, there's a new Who's That?. Not many people got the last one, either it was exceptionally hard, or it was the low quality of the scan.
Monday March 12, 2007
Pokeball has a new affiliate, Sapphire Milotic! It's a really cool website, and you should definitely check it out. I added a paragraph and two pictures to the Pokemon Introduction thing, and I put an Eevee in the For You page. You may notice that I'm using an avatar today; it seems like the updates need to stand out just a bit more. I pulled this old thing from the depths of disuse, and thus you see it before you today. This is just a simple flower that I made a long time ago, it isn't particularly detailed, and it doesn't match the layout, but lets not be dwelling on the negatives. I kind of like it, even though it's quite simple.
Friday March 9, 2007
Sorry I didn't update last week, I had a really busy weekend. But now I've got bunches of new stuff; there's a new Who's That?, Requests are open, and Affiliation is open. For the requests, I deleted a few of them because I was unable to understand them, or they seemed like too big projects that I would never have time for. Anyway, I will only be accepting picture request for now, but I might accept layout/graphic request some day. It's possible.
Saturday February 24, 2007
There's a new Who's That?, and that's pretty much it. I'm working on finishing requests, and opening affiliation. It's all a work in progress.
Saturday February 17, 2007
I updated the Who's That?. I don't think this week's one is very hard, but it is one of my favorite pokemon. I also added the mascot page, for Coconut, so now everyone can know who she is. Wow, I can hardly believe I created her more then two years ago! I was so young back then...
Wednesday February 14, 2007
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I made you site visitors a special picture, and I made a new section in the art section for events like holidays. I hope you all know who Coconut is, because otherwise you'll think it's kind of strange that she's wishing you a happy Valentine's Day. Hmmm maybe I should make a site characters page; after all she is kind of like a mascot.
Tuesday February 13, 2007
Wow, another request is done! At this rate I'll be accepting new requests pretty soon. Today I also got a Cbox, to replace the Saybox. The Saybox has advertisements, which are kind of annoying, but I don't think the Cbox has any ads. Anyways, tomorrow's Valentine's Day, and I have a special surprise for everyone.
Monday February 12, 2007
Great news, I actually finished one of the requests! I know it's a surprise, but hey, a lot of things have been happening lately. Nidoking was pretty hard for me to draw, partly because he's got a pretty complicated design. I’m more used to drawing cute pokemon. I’m glad with how it turned out, although the file was pretty big. I had to reduce the file size, so the one you see isn’t as high quality. Oh well, I’m sure it’s worth it that it doesn’t take forever to load.
Saturday February 10, 2007
Today I put the Who's That? page up. I also added a new pokemon to it. Unfortunately during the time I was gone hotmail deleted my mail because I was so inactive; that means that I didn't put up the winners for the previous Who's That, and if you sent me an email during that time you might want to send it again.
Thursday February 8, 2007
All right, so today I added some more items to the menu. To be honest is wasn't very hard, but my current dilemma is with putting more. Certain pages I don't have up right now because I want to revise them, and I really don't feel back into the webmaster-ing "groove". Yeah, so I guess I'll wait on adding more stuff.
Tuesday February 6, 2007
Oh wow, it's been ages since I last updated! I apologize, to Pokeball's affiliates and visitors. At the moment I have only ten pages up, I'm going to revise the other pages before I return them to the navigation. I'll be working hard to get this site back up and running, but I'm afraid it might take me a little while. Sorry about that.
New Layout --- Saturday_November 11, 2006
Hey everyone, how's it going? I've been pretty busy lately, but there's a new layout at least. I was originally planning on making a blue layout, but it kind of turned into a pink one. Oh well, I hope you still like it. By the way, I added a comment feature because I want to know what you think of the new navigation. Affiliates, I also want to know your opinion about where you are linked. Would you prefer to be in the navigation menu? Let me know, okay? ~TzendaSo much spam --- Monday_October 30, 2006
Who's That? has been updated. I've been gone for a while, as you may have noticed. I'll be going through my emails, and other technical things. I wish I had an automated system for the who's that; out of 79 emails, around half of them were just spam. ~Tzenda
Theme for Who's That --- Saturday_October 07, 2006
I updated the Who's That?, and I decided that for this month there will be a theme! The theme is spooky and scary pokemon, and so now you'll have one extra hint for solving the who's that. I also finished one request, a Minun picture. I know I was suposed to draw a Nidoking next, but they're kind of hard to draw. I'll have to practice for a while so I can draw the picture right. 'Later everyone! ~Tzenda
Hello again --- Wednesday_September 27, 2006
Hey everyone! I changed the navagation for this layout, and I finished a request. It's a new layout.
Screeeeeeeam --- Friday_September 22, 2006
How many weeks has it been? Oh darn it, I'm so mad at myself. I haven't been updating at all. *sigh* Well, even though I didn't do much for the past month I have completed a picture. By the way, I hate the navagation on this layout; that is the first thing I'm going to fix.
New Layout --- Friday_August 25, 2006
As you can see, there's a new layout. I don't like it much, so I'll probably tweak some things this weekend. We have a new link-exchange with this cool Pokemon Site! I would be doing a lot more updating (to do list) but I'm so tired. You can't make this poor Tzenda work when she's tired can you?
Zup --- Wednesday_August 23, 2006
New poll, and new affiliate. ^^ I'm currently working on the requests, and as soon as I finish those I'll make a new layout for this website.
New page --- Saturday_August 19, 2006
I updated the Who's That? and the Poke Riddle. I also added a new page, Crack the Code. I might have to add a guide for how to crack codes, because it's much easier if you know how, but rather difficult if you've never done it before.
New read, new art, who's that changed --- Thursday_August 17, 2006
I made a list for the Who's That? page, so now you can choose pokemon from a list as well as type them. There's a new read with my opinion about website activity. I also added two new pictures. All of them are in the people category, so now that section has a lot bigger. See ya tomorrow, I have a cool new thing planned and I can't wait to add it!
Requests Getting Finished --- Sunday_August 13, 2006
I finished the requests on my To Do List, but already there's more. Well, it'll keep me busy. ;) Anyway, there are two new Espeon Avatars, and a new Espeon Layout. I'm sorry dolphindude, I changed the colors for you layout. I also used an old image. ;-; Since you may not be satisfied with my mediocre layout, I'll agree to make you a new one sometime if you wish.
Much Updating --- Friday_August 11, 2006
I have a new affiliate, Bulba Palace. ^_^ I added more to Site History, and I also added a Site History 2. It contains information about my first site, Mika's Pokeball. There is also a new Who's That? and Poke Riddle. This week's Poke Riddle is much different then the three previous ones. And now, off I go to finish some requests; I should have them done by tomorrow. ~Seeya later everyone!
Changed the layout --- Wednesday_August 9, 2006
I changed the layout from tables to divs. It was a lot of work, but there's not much for me to talk about. :/
New Layout! --- Tuesday_August 8, 2006
There's a new layout; I hope the pink won't be too much for you. I know that some people really hate that color. About the layout: Jigglypuff is one of my favorite pokemon, and quite cute. There are various music notes in the banner and the navigation; that is because Jigglypuff's signature attack is sing. I also added a new section to the navigation menu, [Reads]! It has only one opinion in it at this time, but anyone can submit their own opinion if they want. I also added a comment thing! Yay!
More stuff --- Sunday_August 6, 2006
I added more to the [HTML Guide]. I also added a section where you can get your website reviewed. That's all for today. :)
I've been un-motivated --- Saturday_August 5, 2006
New [Who's That?], new [Poke Riddle], new Squirtle [Complete Pokemon Picture].
I've been kind of tired and un-motivated. I could be updating more, but I just don't want to. I've been at home for such a long time. I need to get active and go somewhere, but how can I start when I'm feeling sick?
New affy & new picture --- Thursday_August 3, 2006
Pokeball has a new affiliate, Mewstar Island. ^_^ I also finished a [Picture] request for kitsuka. I'm too lazy to remove it from my to-do list at this time. In responce to my previous question, being sick is most deffinetly a BAD thing.
A new Pokeriddle --- Monday_July 31, 2006
There's a new [Pokeriddle]. This one may be harder then the last one. ^_~ Kitsuka submitted some [Pokemon Nicknames]. Thank yoooou! ^-^ And I also tweaked a few things in the layout. I hope that I can put the hover button guide back up soon.
I've been sick with a cold the past day or two, and since I can't really get too active I've been on the computer. So is being sick a good thing or a bad thing? :/
Back from a vacation --- Sunday_July 30, 2006
I got back from my vacation, and I must say, it was very fun. Now that I'm getting back to work, I finished a request and got a new Vulpix [Wallpaper]. I also added that same Vulpix as a [For You] picture. To me that Vulpix seems kind of... too mature to be a Vulpix, not really cute enough I guess. Oh well. ^_^; I also have a new affiliate, and I added a section with info about each of my affy's. Yay! There's a new [Who's That?] too. Tomorrow I'll add a new poke riddle. =)
New Who's That --- Saturday_July 22, 2006
I added a new [Who's That?], and I added a [Site History] that includes old layouts as well. Sorry for the lack of updates, I had been planning to update every day this week, but then we visited some relatives and friends. When I got the chance to go on the computer on Thursday, my Internet was down. My dad fixed it today, and just in time for me to tell you that I'll be gone for a week. I should be back around July 30 or 31.
Pokemon Heroes --- Tuesday_July 18, 2006
I added a preview and review for [Pokemon Heroes], and I also changed a few little things around the site. I added some more info for the [Who's That?] because there was more then one pokemon it could have been. Even if you guessed a different one, you'll still get it right because it was my fault. I'll see you tomorrow everyone!
Poke Riddles --- Monday_July 17, 2006
I made a new section, [Poke Riddles]. I also made the navigation menu smaller, and I finished a Speed Deoxys [Free Layouts]. I took the hover buttons section down, because there were errors in the code. Until they're fixed that guide won't be up anymore. This whole week I'm going to be doing as much updating as I can, because on Sunday I'm going on vacation for a week. If you want to request something now's the time to do it. :)
HTML Guide --- Sunday_July 16, 2006
For a little while I've been working on an [HTML Guide]. I've finished 3 lessons, but it's hard for me to make things easy to understand. I remember how much trouble I had when I was learning html. Anyway, I hope I can get the layout request done soon. Sorry for taking to long. ;-;
New Layout --- Thursday_July 13, 2006
Yesterday I forgot to tell you, I updated the [Who's That?]. I also added a new kitty picture to [Complete] and a new Speed Deoxys picture to [For You]. And as everyone can see, today there's a new layout! It's a much different style then the other one.
I'm back! --- Tuesday_July 11, 2006
Well, I'm finally updating again! You didn't think I would forget my website, did you? Anyway, there is a new Espeon [Free Layout] and a new Charizard [Free Avatars]. I'm not very good at Charizard, so the avatar is that great. ^_^; Sorry! I'm done for now, but tomorrow they'll be a new [Who's That?].
Avatars and Houndoom --- Thursday_June 29, 2006
I made two new avatars with Pikachu on them here [Free Avatars]. I also made a Houndoom picture here [For You]. I'm really happy with how it turned out, because I'm not usually very good at drawing canines. I?ll try to finish everything on the [To Do List] by Sunday, so I can make a new layout for Pokeball. ^.^
Working on the list --- Saturday_June 24, 2006
I finished a new layout in [Free Layouts]. Just to let you know, I didn't draw the leaves in the background; my art program had them in a brush. I also added a new picture in [For You]. It's been a pain because Freewebs only lets you have 100 files, but maybe I'll be able to buy some more space. :/
I'm on a roll! --- Friday_June 23, 2006
Even though I'm not out of school I can still find time to update. But it's been fun. Kirbys Unite is Pokeball's first affiliate; it's a really cool site, and if you haven't been there yet you should check it out. Anyway, I finished AS's request which was an Espeon. I had lots of fun with that, because Espeon is one of my favorite pokemon. Well, see ya later alligator!
Requests --- Thursay_June 22, 2006
If you want to request something you can go to the [Request Graphic/Art] page. I also added a [To Do List] so I won't forget about some requests. Also, the [Who's That?] is back, but I have some concerns about the submission method, since last time I used these forms they ran out. I'll let you know if it amounts to anything.
Tweaking the little things --- Wednesday_June 21, 2006
I spell checked most of the new pages, and I got a new nickname from Krystal Absol. Thank you! There are some new pokemon pictures, and I added some new pages such as Report Errors. I also put the free layouts back up. Have a nice day everyone, I'll see you tomorrow!
Mew is very cute --- Tuesday_June 20, 2006
I made a new layout! :3 I admit it; I am obsessed with drawing balloons in the sky. It was so fun though. There are two new pictures, but they're really just different versions of the on in the layout. I've got a lot to do, so I'll be back tomorrow. I'll add a new nickname, and hopefully I'll make that new Sneasel picture. Uggg now I have to go spell check all those new words I wrote. x_x
I had to rewrite it... --- Saturday_June 3, 2006
I fixed a few broken links and I put up some of the pages from Mika's Pokeball. I changed them a little, I can't believe how immature I was when I wrote the character information; it's embarrassing. -_-;; Anyway the Anime vs. Manga page won't be very fun for now because apparently I can't have form action things. I guess I have to wait until my site is a week old.
More pages! --- Thursday_June 1, 2006
I made a few changes to the layout, and I added some more pages in the pokemon section. I'm starting to think that I won't be waiting until Saturday--! Alright, affiliation is open.
The Pokeball is up! --- Wednesday_May 31, 2006
I've got a lot of pages up, but I won't be accepting affiliates until this Saturday. I'll be finished with putting up the rest of the pokemon section. If you have time you can head on over to the saybox and give you opinion about The Pokeball. ^-^
