buried treasure pt. 2
Almost cooler than finding the pictures of my last Harley, I also came across my old animation program, Flash Shockwave 3. I barely recall using it, apparently it’s part of my brain that was altered from high ammonia levels caused by a failing liver. When I explored the old zip disc containing the program I was puzzled at first, until I also found some of my old animations and suddenly I had a flood of memories! I remembered making them but how? I had no idea how to use Flash again at first but I started playing with it a few days ago and I started recalling the ways and intricacies of using it. It’s a very expensive program to buy, way out of my budget these days and it wouldn’t work at first because I didn’t have the code to unlock it. I dug around a bit, angry that I couldn’t use it until I found I had left myself a note including the keys right in the folder of the program itself! Don’t ya just love when stuff like that happens!
I’ve received a lot of compliments on my other headers, thank you!, and I love playing with Photoshop and will continue using it to make blog templates for your pleasure, but now there’s a new kid in town and I hope to knock you guys collective socks off with my new animated headers! The one you see above is my very first new animation and I consider it a bit rough, I intend to get more elaborate in the future. It was fun to make but exhausting, it involved many hours of doing and redoing, but this will change as my experience grows of course.
Now on to my point, if you just have to have an animated header, I’ll be doing those too, for a fee of course, employ me now because I’ll work pretty cheap to develop my refound skills. The fee will be according to the complexity, it’s negotiable and of course I guarantee satisfaction!And on the blog making front I’ll continue to do those as well and hope more people will buy them as I’m still considered disabled and I’m one broke ass Cajun boy with expensive health insurance, medical bills to repay and lots of medications to buy since my liver transplant.
I can no longer afford to give my work away as I have so many times in the past few months, I have several blogging friends who have been prodding me to make sure I charge for everything that I do and I thank them for their wonderful advice! Especially Veronica! Luv you sweetheart! Simple advice will still be free, I have a lot of HTML skills and I can help in many ways, feel free to ask, but if I come over and do it I’ll have to charge something for my time, maybe just a few bucks. If I’ve helped you in the past, please, feel free to tip me a few bucks for my services. I’ve set up a Paypal thingy in the sidebar to make this convenient for both tips and my template and animation sales. Paypal is quite easy to use and quick and easy to sign up for, it’s owned by eBay and it has many online uses that make it safe and easy to transfer money to any email address in the country! No charity please!
Also notice the new category called Fresh Engines over there that features my latest templates for sale and the bottom link Templates in Progress lets you peek over my shoulder as I build new stuff. It’s content is also my Cajun-country novel based on some of my true life experiences in many ways, it’s called Delacroix. Give it a read while its still fairly short if your looking for some escapism.
I love, love, love being a part of this community, every single one of you have given me reasons to smile many, many times over, especially the oh so delicious flirting! You guys are amazing! I just want to say thanks for putting up with my silliness and I want to thank the many who went over and put me on the top of the readers favorites at the Weblog Review! *SMOOCH* I look forward to a lot more fun with you all, and I hope that every single one of you have a great year ahead!!!!!

I love my prototype of the new site and using paypal was easy
7, you do some great work and I see this as a vocation for you.
Blogs are not going away, in 3 years, 50% of the adult population will have one
You are a pioneer my friend, well done
and I am a template in Prgress, sahweeeeettttt
I love the new header and I’m excited to see all of the stuff your going to do with the Flash animator. I love your templates and I feel so bad that I have no money to buy one/send your way. I might need to get a job this summer, I’m so broke… but believe me when I say my heart goes out to you after your liver transplant and I wish I could give you something! You’re so sweet seven!!!
to think…..i knew you first.
You’re such a sweetheart… how did we miss each other all this time?
I must make it up to you!
*pulls out knee pads*
Not to critisize your smooching skills or anything but, dude, that was RIGHT NEXT TO MY EAR!!
Mike= thanks dude! I hope you enjoy your new template as much as I enjoyed making it!
Lauren= !! you got plenty to do without worrying about money, of course a little cash is nice for buying music and stuff for fun!
inky= thanks for “discovering” me and thanks for being such a sweet friend! xoxo’s!
D Queen= i have no idea! but think of all the fun in making up for lost time. *ouch* ooo do that again! love the teethmarks!
Jeanette= sorry hon, I can be a loud smoocher when i’m in a great mood!!!!
!!!!!!!!
Yeah dude, you should definitely charge! Sounds like a great vocation for you too since you already like computers and playing with them. Plus it’s an up and coming field and you already have everything you need to get started.
Ooohhh! If you can do Mickey Mouse without copyright infringement stuff I’m all for it! (the flash thing)
I don’t know if I would need an FTP thingy or something. I know less about that stuff than I should. I do know I don’t have one, if you think you could do it. I’ll save up and pay, no problem!
Way cool header!! Can we come up with a good stripper one? (for a fee of course
Let me know~
Wow! That flash stuff is great.. although its making me have seizures…. oh wait.. I just found my vibr… never mind. Looks great, I’ll be passing a tip your way very soon!!
CrazyGirl= thanks for the encouragement!! xoxo’s!
Micki= Mickey Mouse would have to be out of bounds I think, Disney takes there copyrights VERY seriously, soooo hehe no. FTP is no problem for the Flash file, it’s actually smaller than my other headers in file size and I can easily get it hosted for anyone that wants a header made. That’s part of the deal!
Brighton= awesome idea!! I’ll see what I can dream up, according to my limited skills so far of course!
*spanks*
Nanner= the thought of giving you seizures gets my blood boiling, of course i’m referring to the sheet ripping, back arching, nipple biting, sweat dripping, toe curling, orgasmic kind of seizures !!
*bite-suck-chew softly*
*special spanks for you!*
Whoa! A border line NC-17 comment box?!?!? Sweet!!
Ooh….. Plane….. har… higher, higher
*ahem*……..
I’m digging the flash stuff. I had to buy Macromedia Studio MX for a web class a few years ago and it came with flash, but I’ve never really gotten time to sit down and learn how to use it, although I’d love to make stuff with it for my websites. Maybe I’ll get out my Flash for Dummies book that I never even cracked and try to make a squirrel header…
that might take a few months of my free time…
I thought my son would like the little flash movie. The logic of my four year old: mommy: do you like it. son: my legs are colored too.
His logic never ceases to amaze me. I thought that might amuse you.
Thanks for joining us, Se7en. It’s a richer world because of all of those that come…and even those that go.
Love the flashy header! I gave up shopping for myself for Lent but right after Easter, I’ll e-mail you. My blog is in desparate need of a makeover.
Angel= nau-ghty nau-ghty! tsk tsk!!
E-Lo= it’s fun to play with, but exasperating at the same time, I haven’t cursed so much in a long while! LOL thanks for the hello!
Micki= now thats hilarious, i love kids innocent observations, always give me a kick! =)
Cybele= thank you for the sweet welcome
and welcome to the dog house!
Laurie= !! antebellum homes or French Quarter seediness, or maybe some N.O. touristy theme perhaps? hehe I would love to do your blog!!
Great place you have here.
Dude
The reason I don’t use PayPal is because it’s owned by the eBay nazi’s!!
I’m liking the header… great start!
Thanks for the link. vous êtes un chéri !
Aiyana= thanks! welcome to tha doghouse!
Trash= yeah LOL nazi’s ? i’m eyeballin’ onea them coffee mugs in your store, I hope it comes without the trash?
Myles= hi! you’re welcome/.]./k =_)
Sev: You are my last stop before turning in. But after seeing your header…DAMN YOU ….I’m wide awake again! This new skin looks really “flashy!” Seriously, as usual, you never fail to amaze me…
Very strange…since we met, I keep seeing the number 7 around town. In unusual places…I’m going to start taking pictures of them to share with you. xo
And after reading all of that I must saw awwww, since I began reading your blog you have made me laugh, think and sometimes say wat the hell? But the Creole girl in me loves the Cajun man in you! You are a great guy Seven and I love you with my deepest of blogging hearts!
Sev I am always aware anyone can be anyone online. You’re as real and good as it gets. Wowwowwow…the flash banner is dazzling, a sev signature. May your art put food on the table and satisfy your soul. wildmoonlove
I love the flashy header, love, love love it.
Man, if all the people on my daily reads, does the weblog review thing, they are going to push me right off the list….oh well. That’s the price to pay for reading so many great blogs.
Tres cool header Seven!!! I could never understand Flash back in my addicted to graphics stage *snicker* And I agree with the rest, charge , charge charge!!! You have some great stuff here!! Take care, {{{hugs}}}
Last Girl= weee no one’s said “damn you” to me in a long time! =) of course i don’t always get to hear it in a nice way like you meant *evil grin* that would be cool on the 7′s sharing!!
Charon= you are such a dear heart! where ya been all my life!! =)
Veronica= i owe you sweetheart! *mega smooches* for you!
