News


Hello! well these last few days have been a frenzy full of llamas haven't they? Through doing absolutely nothing else over my easter long weekend I have earnt an albino llama! :la: I'm not sure if I should be proud or saddened by my lack of a life... But I feel pretty chuff :) I have also been lurking the chats in my waking hours.

But yeah, these llamas.. Absolute masterstroke to the DA marketing crew, just imagine the revenue generated from people clicking through millions of different pages just to give each other a llama? The ads displayed on those pages to non-subscribers should have raked in the dough over the last few days. I think anyone collecting llamas have noticed a huge spike in pageviews over the last few days, and that's really what the DA crew were aiming for. The point for llama scheme was another clever afterthought, but thats really icing on the cake.

Llamas are a real nifty way to add a special somthing to thanking someone for commenting, or giving you a fav too, which is nice. I've also been giving out points recently too to people who help out.

I've also given a feature to a helpful person in my new feature box! I got myself a new CSS theme for my journal, incase you havent noticed, and it all seems to be working swell.. so far :)

Saw a few movies recently, How to train your dragon was a hoot, if not stupidly predictable.. and a little too cutsey. While Alice in Wonderland I diddn't much care for. I'm glad it kept pretty well with the original, but yeah, not too keen on the acting, and I couldn't understand/hear some of what the characters were saying sometimes..



Feature!


I'd like to say thankyou to *nutmeg-42 for being helpful :)



!F-Happenstancestudio too :)

Hahahaha, that's very economical of you to note down - and I agree! I wonder how much they charged additional for ads?

Good thing I'm subscribed - I hate those ads.

Well I was keeping close tabs on `Cyantre who has the most llamas on DA. He WAS updating his journal about llamas as soon as he found new info on them, but now hes not doing it.
