New AHFT Toolbar!

February 27, 2008

Howdy!

That’s right! Thanks to Conduit, I designed a personal toolbar for this blog that includes a radio, RSS feeds, and links. I’m pretty new to this, so any problems you might find PLEASE comment.

I’ll also be updating the Games page this Friday with two more games and redesigning the AHFT Sponsors page. And be sure to visit the sites on the blogroll. That’s where you’ll most likely be able to find me. Don’t ask to be on my blogroll, though.

Two More AHFT Badges!

February 24, 2008

Howdy!

Yesterday was so stressful! My computer has been shutting down randomly, my Internet kicks off for no reason, windows stop responding…argh! My “j” and my “u” keys just fell right off! As you can imagine, it was very hectic yesterday.

However, I did manage to put together two more badges for the AHFT Badges page. The “vertical” badge, which fits for WordPress sidebars. And the “horizontal” badge, which fits for PengSpace profiles. I might make more badges in the future, just don’t expect any soon.

Moving on…

I also updated the feed stats page. Just so I don’t have to tell you in every post, I update the page every Monday, excluding tomorrow. If you suffer from short-term memory loss, get to the feed stats page via the RSS Feeds widget on the sidebar.

 And don’t forget this time! 

Oh, and if you hadn’t noticed, I moved the “Add Me!” button on AHFT to under the chatbox, next to the newly replaced “Comment Me!” button. Now if you excuse me… it’s time for a nap.

Comment Me! & Add Me!

P.S. now…there’s…time…with…comments…

New AHFT Badges!

February 22, 2008

Howdy!

Ever wanted to help advertise AHFT? See the thing about advertising is… people hate it. Most everyone thinks advertising is annoying. Chances are, they’ll delete your comment or edit the link out.

You →  

UNLESS… you do it creatively. Namely, badges. Visit AHFT’s new page “AHFT Badges” on the homepage where you can choose from three different badges: small, medium, and large. There will be more badges added in the course of the next few weeks.

Copy and paste the link from the text box to your WordPress, Piczo, PengSpace, or hi5! That’s all you have to do. You can’t save or copy and paste the badges because of the copyright protection system.

I had to replace a page, of course. The page replaced was the “AHFT Team” because the whole staff idea fell apart. It’s not your fault but I work best alone. Don’t take it personally TyBoy000 and Jason.

  You can still enjoy AHFT just as you do now, so don’t worry!

TyBoy000 will still be an owner on the chat and Jason and Stephen will be the moderators. I might make Emmi a moderator, too next time I see her. The chat’s been getting quite popular recently.

Anyone else can be a moderator if you play your cards right.

P.S. You might have noticed a new button added to the corner of AHFT. The button was made by PengPlace, and you can click it to add AHFT as a friend on your Piczo friend list. Don’t hesitate to ask; I accept any and all friend requests.

AHFT Gets a New Look!

February 19, 2008

Howdy!

There were some problems that I had with the old look to AHFT’s homepage. It was kinda slopped together in random secession. So I took the liberty of last night and most of today in remaking the homepage, only this time more artsy.

  Internet Explorer has been working against me the past few days. The Internet has been horribly slow causing much delay in work. The updates could of been done yesterday. Fortunately I was able to install FireFox to speed things up.

Now things have been as easy as ever. Some of the main updates were the Piczo Rank collection instead of just the current rank. Another was the enlarging of the chatbox and still another was the new header. I got rid of a few useless things such as the calender and the rating meter. We all know AHFT is awesome, right?

The header was added to the layout while still in Paint. 8stoplight8 of StoplightFans pieced together a humurous picture of french toast. That, combined with credit to Pizza of ColorSmash since he was the one who made the whole thing, the new header was finished.

So enjoy the new look. Who knows, I might change it again sooner than you think. You can also expect more new changes next week such as a new…

P.S.

The Updated Soundtrack!

February 15, 2008

Howdy!

In case you hadn’t noticed, the Soundtrack on AHFT was updated today. Like I said, I’m trying to keep a regularly updated schedule. There are exactly 4 new songs out of the 9 total. Choosing songs is hard because the website I use, imeem, sometimes only gives out
30-second previews rather than the full song.

Oh, and just so people can identify which songs are new — trust me, the background kind of makes the text unreadable — there’s a very obvious sign next to each of the titles.

Updated Soundtrack

Enjoy the music!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2008

Howdy!

 Smilie by GreenSmilies.com 

Love is very much in the air! Why? It’s Valentine’s Day! I hope you had fun at school today during this guishy-wovey “holiday”. It was the first time I had actually gotten to spend the whole day with my significant other. Ahh…

Before I continue rambling on about my personal life, I added some touches to AHFT! In case you were wondering about why people on the Xat chatboxes — like the one on AHFT — have a little heart by their name, here’s how…

1. Click your name on the visitor’s list.

2. Click “Register” under your home page option.

3. Fill in your username, password, and email.

4. Activate it.

It’s just a small little update, yes, but a fun one!

The Loveable Heart…

On the same note, people are also wondering how to do this new, funny looking emoticon. Once you’ve gone through the steps above type in the following: (Eyes) It will not work if you don’t register. What I believe the purpose of registering is, is so they can recognize you for small little things like this.

The Loveable Eyes…?

Also tomorrow, new songs on the Soundtrack!

Cause you gotta be loved… Smilie by GreenSmilies.com

AHFT² Out of Beta Testing!

February 12, 2008

Howdy! 

Yep! AHFT² is out of beta testing. It’s been ten days and we can let the fun begin! I never really told anyone that it was in beta. It wasn’t really a big deal. Before I carried it out, though, I wanted to make sure everyone came! And you did!

Already over 500 hits since release? Wow! This blog will be updated along with AHFT — which is in an irregular pattern as of now. I hope to update to a regular schedule, like for example, every Friday. Since you’ll never know, keep coming back here!

P.S. Click ”  ” on the sidebar for updated feed stats…

 

Indecision, ‘08

February 8, 2008

Howdy!

I decided. How’s about a nifty AHFT Developers Blog?

That’s what I thought. Cool, huh? I kinda considered that a Planet Cazmo blog would pretty much be the same thing as a Cp blog — only difference; I’d be one of the first. Which’ll catch me into the popularity phase, again…

It’s called integrity people. Look it up.

Anyways, the problem with Club Penguin (and I guess Planet Cazmo now) is the addiction it brings. But, see, it can be used in the right way. However, it can be used in the wrong way.

When you make a Club Penguin blog, you’re committing yourself to that addiction — binding yourself to what you’ll have to give up in the end. Only makes it hurt worse when you realize you need to move on. Don’t think you won’t have to move on.

I already changed the theme to Kubrick. It’s a simple theme, which of course means a boring theme. That’s why I planned to have a really cool header to liven things up.

I also updated the sidebar. Cool little trinkets, right? I’ll add an AHFT button later. Sometime around the header-releasing. Like I said, everything will be simplified. Everything. And I mean it.

Which leads me to this completely unrelated story…

Graser3’s birthday is today. All right. It’s his SIXTEENTH birthday! What the Hell? He’s a junior in high school and playing a childish game like Club Penguin?! That’s not just pathetic… that’s creepy… It gets creepier.

Graser 10 said to me he was Graser3’s older brother. See where this is headed? If G3 is 16… and G10 is older… than that means… HE’S OLDER THAN 16!!!

Do you understand how weird that is…

Also, I made this stupid video and put it on YouTube a few days ago. It’s me using this really fun/funny Cp Trainer.

See ya’ tomorrow!

Productivity at a Standstill — Eh, DEAD

February 7, 2008

Howdy!

 Happy Chinese New Year!  

AHFT² has been a big hit! Since release we’ve already got 400+ hits! Wow. Stephen was fired because it’s been a week since I released AHFT². Sorry, but I gotta keep my priorities in order.

Which means AHFT² is a three-man band now.

 

It’s O.K. Communication is better than ever. I had to punish Jason for editing the site without asking me… x …but I’m still satisfied with the results. Really excited too.

One question on everyone’s mind though…

What will happen to this blog?

Last week’s proposal turned out to not work so I have two new ideas…
1. Make this a brief blog. Quick little posts about updates of AHFT a paragraph-or-so long. Everything else will be completely impromptu.
2. Make this a Planet Cazmo blog.

 What’s Planet Cazmo?

Planet Cazmo is a brand new flash game. It’s mostly like Club Penguin except without penguins — real people. They have big-heads, but you know. The game is still in beta, and much like Beta Club Penguin, it’s pretty slow. Oh well.

My usernames are VeNoMiZeR and AlexM.

VeNoMiZeR is for fun, AlexM is my main account. There isn’t much to the game yet. It is fun though. Sign Up Here »

I don’t get enough comments any more to have a vote. Applause to you guys for that. I’ll make the decision in the upcoming days myself.

See ya’ tomorrow!

~~Hugs and kisses,
Alex aka Cppd Officer

AHFT² Hot Off the Griddle!

February 2, 2008

Howdy!

  Happy Groundhog’s Day!

…enjoying an early spring…

I just came back from my final swim meet (unless I make AA qualifications) and I have a very important announcement… 

Into over a week of construction, but it’s finally finished!

AHFT² was completed yesterday but I decided not to release it until today because I had to update the Video of the Month and it was late at night. *cough* I had to get up at 6:45 in the morning.

The only thing left to do is give Stephen & Jason the AHFT password and we can begin this new generation of french toast.

By the way, did you know “french” is the only lowercase proper adjective? Hmm, wierd huh? Then again, it is the French. Or french.

Ha-ha I just made you learn something on the weekend…

In all seriousness. though, be sure to visit AHFT as soon as possible. Getting it off the ground was hard enough…

Once everything is taken care of I’ll sign off WordPress for good.

Wait…

I had a plan for this blog. Instead of “posting”, I thought about using the Prolouge theme. Which means YOU make the post via a comment. Just ask “Whatcha up to Alex”, or “How’s it going, Cppd”.

The “comment-post” box will be located at the top of the homepage. Then people can comment on those comments.

What I will do is make a quick little comment-post on what I am doing. See the correlation? I’ll also give away behind-the-scenes updates to AHFT. Everything else will be completely impromptu.

Think of it as a non-live chat.

I’ll get rid of the pages and Flickr and Songspot, etc. I’ll leave the archives and hits widget though. You don’t have to advertise the site or come to it everyday or anything like that.

It’ll go on as long as AHFT will go on, hopefully.

That’s all for me. And like I said before, visit AHFT² now!

Enjoy your weekend!

Alex aka Cppd Officer
