Logistica Category
Nitty gritty makes the world go round. Did this work? Can you see this? Is this thing on? This category is probably a real snore, but hey: sometimes the details must be addressed.
Redesign - whee!

Sometime within the next couple weeks, Electrolicious is going to get a face lift. It will be something like this. DO NOT PANIC.

Wardrobe remix: only for the interested

For those of you like my silly Wardrobe Remix pictures, you should know that at this point they’re visible only to members of the Wardrobe Remix group. If you want to see them, log into flickr and join the group! You’ll know it’s working if you can see these photos.

Ready for redesign feedback

Ok, I think we’ve got things relatively worked out with the redesign. First, let me tell you a little bit about some of the new awesomeness on Electrolicious:
- Now, when you reach the bottom of a page of posts you can just keep reading! Just use the pagebar at the bottom to click on through to the next page of content. You could do this for all 348 pages. I got used to the pagebar functionality on Offbeat Bride and the lack of paging on Electrolicious was really starting to bug me.
- I added an Elsewhere page to cover some of my other projects. This is another Offbeat Bride-inspired feature. It’s one of those pages that most folks will probably only read once, which is fine. There it is. Now you know.
- In an effort to make my archives a bit more discoverable, I’ve also reworked the archives page, how called History. As always you can read by month or categories, but you can also read by the most site’s most popular posts. I may keep adding more ways to discover old content, too.
- Or! You can check out the “On this day” links over there in the far left sidebar to see what I might have written in the last seven years on this same day. Maybe I’m the only one who will use this feature, but I love that on October 22, 2005, J.M. Dodd and I were announcing my last redesign. Ha!
- I’ve also added a tagging functionality. I don’t have the energy to go back and tag 7 years’ worth of content (dude: 3400 posts!), but I’ll definitely be using tags moving forward.
- After using it for 10 months on Offbeat Bride, I finally decided I was ready to take the plunge and convert to Wordpress. I still gots lotsa love for Six Apart (I would die without my Secret & Shocking LiveJournal account), but the combination of an active plugin community and super sonic comment spam-fighting tools won me over to WP. So it goes.
Things that haven’t changed: my flickr pictures are still there, the linkblog is still there, the palette is similar (mm: green), and of course the content is as stupid and silly as it’s always been. Hurrah!
So now: do you have any bug reports? Things you see broken? Stuff not working the way you’d expect? Complaints? I know that the monthly archives aren’t working yet, but other than that, I think everything’s ready for primetime … so if you’ve got feedback, have at it!

Yep, it’s a redesign!
Importing 3500 entries and 8,500 comments can take some doing — thanks to JM Dodd, my faithful webmistress for making it look easy. That said, things may be odd this weekend as we get it all figured out. Hold your clicks, and I’ll let you know when I’m ready for bug reports/feedback.
In the meantime, you can entertain yourself with lots of pics on Flickr, including shots of our new place finally settled in.

I’m back from a long weekend in Colorado with family, and I’m currently drowning under waves of logistics. Even though I stayed on top of my email while I was out of town, somehow within 15 minutes of my plane touching down today I had a dozen or more emails, calls, and texts from various people wanting information, details, updates, answers, etc etc etc. My skull almost collapsed from the weight of it all. So if you’re thinking of emailing, calling, or texting me with a question, request, or other logistical reason, please hold off on doing so for at least 48 hours because realistically I’m overwhelmed. Awesome!
For right now, I have only this to share: over dinner the other night, my step-aunt (who I’ve seen once in the past 20 years) looked at me and said, “You know, you WERE an odd child.”
Redesign - whee!

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.
