Well since i havent updated here for a while i thought id give it a blast. Ive been rather busy over the past couple of months as ive finally started making money from the internet YAY ! I now design forum skins and websites which isnt doing to bad atm. So far ive earned $160 this month ($286.50 since march). So just letting you no where ive been

As for projects i was working on www.imglime.com for a while until i sold it. See'ing what work was needed to make projects successful ive decided to take on a new project. I bought the site design, custom forum skin, logo, banners ect but still have a long way to go. I now currently need to buy a Vbulletin license and i need to buy a custom script which is hopefully been made by TerrorKalle from www.clantemplates.com

What is it i hear you ask. Well it is a site which will be similar to deviantart. There will be options to upload pieces of work wether it be digital art or literature. The site will also have other features such as user blogs and also subscriptions. Many people have said im just stealing the deviantart idea but my site will have many things DA doesnt have ( wait till i release to find out ) Other people said i wont stand a chance competing with DA but like i said i dont want to be a competetor, my site will just be an alternative.

So thats it from me for now, im hopefully going to put www.kivanoconnor.net to use and turn that into a blog which i will update regularly

They where both dragged under. They where found thursday, and thats when i found out. Friday i attented the lake where they both died in memory of them both. Was very emotional and it hit me hard as i stared into the lake...
