Just an update:

I’m going through a really busy time with both school and sports, so it’s been really hard to even meet my goal of posting one wallpaper set a week.  A couple of my classes conclude at the end of April though, so I should be able to post two sets a week again starting in May.  Please bear with the lack of wallpapers until then:)

Thanks,

The file host I use for uploading the .zip files (drop.so) has finally fixed the problem relating to the xml error.  All the download links should be live now. 

If you have tried to download a wallpaper set in the past couple of days, you may have noticed that once you went to the file hosting site (drp.so), and clicked download that it gave a weird XML error.  I have contacted the support team of the drops site, but so far they have not responded.  Until the error is fixed, for all new wallpaper sets I will use ge.tt file hosting for the .zip files.  As for the old wallpaper sets that have links to the drops site, you will have to download the wallpapers one by one, as I don’t have the time currently to reupload all the dead links.  Thanks for the understanding,

Courtesy of the staff at wordpress, here’s a year end report of all the site stats of the past year.  Thanks to all of my readers who made this possible:)

Here’s an excerpt:

About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 4,000,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 73 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!

Quick Update:  You might remember that a couple months ago I mentioned that I had submitted an application for WordPress’s ad service, WordAds.  Well, today I finally was accepted into their program and now you will see a couple banner ads on top and on the right of the page.  Hopefully I’ll eventually get enough money to offset the cost of maintaining (domain name cost) this site:)  Also, since this blog now has ads, I’ll try to find time to increase the posting output to 2 posts per week until June, and in the summer maybe 3-4 posts per week.  If you have any comments about this change (or anything else) please post in the comment section below.

Thanks,

Here’s an excerpt:

About 1,000,000 people visit the Seattle Space Needle every year. This blog was viewed about 3,800,000 times in 2011. If it were the Space Needle, it would take about 4 years for that many people to see it.

I’m sorry for the lack of posting during the past few weeks.  I usually try to post a wallpaper set two times a week, but with my current homework load, its been hard to even get one posted.  Until the month of June (when school ends for the summer) expect 1, and maybe (if I have time) 2 wallpaper sets a week. Thanks for your understanding,

P.S. For now I’m sticking with small wallpaper previews because the large previews caused some usability issues.

Just a small update… Most of you like( or at least are indifferent to) the new theme.  A couple of you commented on the slowness of the page loading, and I realize that this theme is slower than the other one (because of the custom background).  But overall, I think the good outweighs the bad, so I’m going to stick with this theme.  Here are the results of the poll:

Well, as you can see I have switched my blog’s theme to a theme called Coco.  I did this mainly because I thought the previous theme design was getting dull.  Time for a change:)  So what do you think of the new theme?  Please vote in the poll below or leave comment.  Thanks!
