Working off of maybe 4 hours and I'm loving it...

There must be a certain amount of dedication and motivation when it comes to creating a website. I mean don't get me wrong, base your input on what you are trying to get out of the whole situation. Me? I'm trying to do what I love, music. I'm not just a person putting together a site just so I can make money. There is a passion that I endure when it comes to this project. Me being a musician, I have a true love for music and I've been to many social networking sites that lack in so many areas.So I decided to pick up the slack and so far I think I'm headed in the right direction.

There is an objective to my site which is why I'm soooo excited about it. I've done my homework and I'm stil doing my homework. I want my site to have substance and meaning. Eve though I've always been about the "look" of websites, I've learned that if the content isn't on point then your site is worthless, no matter how good it looks. I'm trying to aim at my visitors being able to be on my site for at least 15 minutes at the minimum. Can I do it? Hell yea I can, why would I say that I couldnt? If I don't believe in myself, who else will?

Every once in a while I get stopped by someone who isn't finding success in their own journey, and end up trying to bring me down along the way. UMMM, I might be the wrong person to throw negativity at because all I will do is turn it into something positive and throw it back at you. 9 times out of 10 you'll melt because most people I know who are negative, are allergic to positivity. Plus, I find that negativity motivates me even more so keep it coming!

And why exactly are people coming to my blog reading my thoughts and giving me a negative? Ok, let me break this down really quickly. I'm all about expressing yourself and having your own opinion but if you feel a certain way, I need a supporting reason why you FEEL the way you do. But whatever, negative marks are the least of my worries. It was just something that was on my mind for a split second........................

What does SlimGoody have on her mind today? Well I have alot to share today. First of all let me tell you what happened to me this weekend. I remember me talking about how I got Adrian from Mastermindthemes to csutomize my language on my site. I got blasted because he should have customized it in the admin area. Of course, I didn't know that thats why I paid him to do it. Plus, I didn't feel like changing the entire sytem by myself. The whole issue with him customizing the lang file was that everytime I uploaded a new module, my settings would go back to the default settings. After a while this peed me off because I had to copy and paste the new modules at the bottom of the newest script and then over write it.

Well, this weekend, I went in and I changed something in my language file, my member names and when I went to my site, I couldn't log in. I'm talking about I couldn't create a new member or anything.Whatever happened along the way couldn't have been reversed in my mind. I mean hell, I'M NEW TO THIS.

I didn't have time to come to a forum, ask a question and get NO answer so I went about it in my own way. Thank goodness, I ran into James and talked to him a while and he explained to me in a quick manner, that I need to customize the language settings in my admin because it's more efficient. WELL!!!!! someone else told me that on here but when he said it I didn't understand. But I do now. So yesterday morning from 9 a.m to around 4 a.m in the morning, I worked on the re install, customizing and the modification of majority of my language keys. Talk about mentally tired. I have no idea how many times I fell asleep at my computer.

I got it done and I got it done the right way! No more having to overwrite my lang file everytime I make a change to my module section.

Am I mad about the money I spent on this modification? I was a bit upset at first but I figured it was a life lesson. If it wasn't for him doing what he did, I would have learned nothing. So the money was still well spent. But I can definiately put a list together on what I could have spent that money on.

I'm pretty much ready to move forward with my website... I'm sure you will see me talking about it in a few days in the forum, better watch out for it.
