The SD People Pages Unveiling...

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

The initial set-up of the new SD People Pages is complete and ready to be viewed. However, there are a few caveats…

Geocities is having server connection problems tonight. Therefore I was unable to check every link from the dropdown menu on the home page to make sure they all work. In fact, because of the problems geocities is experiencing, many of them will appear not to work when they, in fact, should. I apologize if you have any trouble accessing the pages. If you do, please be patient until geocities can resolve their server problems.

Each person has their own, individual page. It was my hope that eventually people would want to add profile information or something of the sort to fill out the pages. At this time, however, all that’s there is a picture and forward/back arrows to move around so they look rather sparse.

Not everyone who emailed me a picture has been included yet, but everyone who sent a pic will be as soon as I get time to do the insertions.

All of you have lovely homes, offices, cars and yards. You’ve taken some awesome vacations and seen some beautiful sights. But I cut most of that stuff out of all the pictures in order to make them a more reasonable size for loading and to “zoom” in on the person in the pic rather than all that background. Long body shots were usually cut as well. If anyone is unhappy with how I “doctored” your picture, let me know and I’ll put it on there however you’d like (which will require re-emailing me your pic because once I fixed them up, I deleted the originals).

I did my best to remember how everyone actually writes their usernames here. For instance, FreakFreely and WhoaNellie have no spaces, but Reservoir Dog and John Corrado do. If I got anyone’s names wrong and you’d like them corrected, please let me know. I didn’t have time to search all of SD to find everyone that I didn’t know.

That’s all. I hope you enjoy the pages. Take a peek at http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages :smiley:

That title graphic is wonderful! Thank you so much, Shayna, you’ve done a wonderful job with a not-so-easy project.

This is GREAT!

Thanks Shayna! They look great! You obviously did a lot of work, and it is well appreciated!

PS How about Wally on the splash page?

5

I have goen through and seen each and every page. Geocities is indeed having troubles tonight, but you might be able to see most of the new pictures. Is it time for a Straight Dope Crushes and Fantasies thread redux? I’ve a few new ones, and old ones that were cemented further!

You rock Shayna!

Not that I got around to scanning a photo in… but I will. Great job - you deserve muchos kudos.

I just wanna give you a big KISS, Shayna. Supreme effort under duress.

You’re a babe, in fact, you’re a wonderful babe. And, although you’ve felt the need to take a break (which I have as well, for many of the same reasons), you’ve honored your commitments.

You are a peach. ‘Love ya’, dear!

Hey Shayna,

Awesome job! Nice to see all of ya. :slight_smile:

Shayna, thank you for putting together the great site! It is so nice to put faces and names together!

Amanda

PS. Not only are you sweet, you’re a little hottie too, did you know that?? :slight_smile:

I look like such a dork in that picture. I like it better when it was sideways :slight_smile:

Great Job Shayna!!! Mustve been hard to do all that work. I think they need to give you a raise!

11

Shayna, you are an artist! Wonderfully constructed and presented! ::::applause:::: :smiley:

12

You should probably start planning how to get the trademarked “The Straight Dope” off the page.

It won’t be intended as a personal attack, but the owners of the trademark will have to ask you to refrain from using it without their permission.

Unless of course, you have permission, then feel free to ignore me.

And, great job!

It might indeed be time for a new Crushes thread, MC. :slight_smile:

And Shayna? THANK YOU! hugs

14

Shayna.

You are incredible. Thank you very much for all your hard work. It was a tremendous undertaking and results are wonderful. Good karma to you!

Ha! I feel like a little kid at Christmas time, opening up my gifts! (brachy skipping away to look at some more of the site, giggling like a 4-year old.)

15

Thank you, everyone. You are all too kind!

tiggeril, I can’t take credit for the title graphic. My sister, Chocolate, designed it for me. I agree, I think she did a wonderful job.

Punkyova, I’m not sure what you mean by “the splash page,” but Wally does have a page linked there as well. And the site is dedicated to him and his memory. I really didn’t want to turn it into another Wally shrine. We have one of those. I do appreciate the sentiment, though. :slight_smile:

beatle, if I am nothing else I am a woman of my word. Besides, I worked too damn hard on this project to not put it up there for everyone to enjoy! 120 pages and counting! LOL

tshirts, Mr. Cynical, dpr, monster & Niggle, thank you all for the compliments. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

MagicalSilverKey, thank you, dear. I just wanted to say that I hope you’re feeling better now!

Falcon, hugs right back to ya, girlfriend!

douglips, I thank you for your concern. I did get permission. In fact, it’s possible SD might find a way to link the People Pages to this site somehow. That needs Ed’s approval, though, and I don’t have that yet, but I’m working on it. :smiley:

Shayna, thank you so very much for doing this, you’re as awesome as always! Please forgive my absense from your emails. Suddenly way too much going on here. In fact, I should have been in bed an hour ago, hitting the road for our vacation in about 6hrs or so now. sigh.

Listen, I don’t have any more time to hunt down the email addy you requested we send to, so, if you don’t mind, I’ll send to your email in a minute. I really must get it done now, or it’ll be 2 wks from now before I do. Take care, and thank you again for all your hard work. I stand in awe of your abilities.

The logo is available on the main page under Link to Us. I’ve got a link on my test page, just for fun.

We can all put them on personal pages. That’s what they’re for.

Very nice! I’m only on the K’s… I really should get back to it.

19

Oh, grrrrrrr… I forgot to click the sig thingy. I feel naked without it.

Shayna, this is great!

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. It’s really, really nice to be able to put faces with the people I haven’t met (yet)!

And thanks for putting me, elelle, & Sassy on the front page. I love that picture of us!
