Notes and General Updates for Today
12/11/03
I updated the links page to a brand new Excalibur site called "The Lighthouse", which you must visit. Seriously it's a very cool site and while still new it's got great potential! I also awarded the "Pick of the Litter" award for the month of January 2004 today. That's about it for now.
12/08/03
I updated the wallpapers section of the site with a brand new Pryde and Wisdom wallpaper. And I also decorated the site officially for the holiday season. I also have added a section on Chanukah (since Kitty is Jewish and all). I do this once a year and this year I was able to add more to it and get some more cool stuff for your enjoyment so check that out if you'd like.
As a side note, I will be leaving this weekend for a month hiatus from the site (at least). I have people watching the forums for me, so no funny stuff *grin*, but also, this means that the site will probably not be updated. I'll see what I can do about getting online and updating, but I make no guarantees. Enjoy the site while I'm gone and sign your letter to the letter writing campaign to show your love of Kitty and of Pryde and Wisdom!
And since I won't be here later on, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Chanukah to everyone!
12/04/03
On the Catbox tonight I updated the Wallpapers section on the Kitty solo section and I also included some Lockheed wallpapers for the Lockheed section, the News and Multi-Media pages with a new interview that I found. I also updated Kitty's website with some new stuff and I updated "Locked and Loaded" with some new stuff (please see those pages for further details).
That's about it for updates tonight. I'll try to do more later.
11/30/03
I updated a couple of sections today. I updated the "Pick of the Litter Award" with a new winner for the month of December, 2003. I also updated the Links page with some new links, included are links to...Colossal Hero (under the Excalibur member section), Lorna Dane.com (under the X-character Specific section), Iceman Items (under the X-character specific section), Mutant Mutandis (finally found their new location and they are located under the General X-men section) and I updated the link to Cerebro Guide to the X-men as it is now at a new URL then the one I had on the links page.
I also updated the Awards Won page as I actually won an award in October and didn't know it *laugh* and so I put up a link (like a polite person) to the nice people who awarded me the honor of getting their award.
And I think that's about it other than I updated the forum with a new "look" for the Christmas holiday and will update the rest of the page to match soon :-).
11/16/03
I updated the page with some new stuff on the "News" section. I updated the "Pick of the Litter Award" with a new winner for the month of November. I also updated the page with a new section that is very important. We're helping to launch a letter writing campaign to Marvel and our section of the campaign (we're in this project with at least two other people who will run their own sections) deals with bringing back Pryde and Wisdom and having both characters act as they did during the height of Pryde and Wisdom (as in acting normal!). Please visit the campaign and show your support! The campaign can be accessed through the main pages. Just find the banner down at the bottom and click on it. It'll open the campaign in a new window. Thanks!
I also updated the forum with a new background for Thanksgiving. And I updated "Locked and Loaded" (see the page for further details).
In other news, those nice people over at http://www.ozfoxes.com have come out with a printed collection of their webcomic "Faux Pas" and I'd suggest not only going to their site and checking the comic out (it is GREAT! I love to read it and they update the comic three times a week :-), but I'd suggest buying their artwork and buying that new book. And while you're at it, pick up "Sweet Treats" their recipe book (it's AWESOME!). And thank you for listening to this obvious online plug *laugh*.
11/2/03
I updated the page with a brand new game (located on the Multi-Media section under the "Fun Stuff" subsection (look toward the botttom of the Multi-Media page and you should find it). It's called "Make Your Own Comic Book" and that's exactly what you can do. It'll take some work but you can come up with some great stuff I'm sure! Good luck and enjoy! I hope to get more updating done soon, but I've been sick and distracted, so please forgive the sporatic updates. No, I haven't forgotten the page nor have I forgotten Kitty's Site or "Locked and Loaded"...I just haven't had a lot of extra energy due to being sick. Sorry all.
I also turned the pages and the forum back to normal. Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
10/24/03
Yay! I finally got some updating done! Woohoo! Anyhow, onto the updates.
I updated the main pages with a new Halloween background because the other one was too much like the forum for my taste.
I updated the Fan Fiction section with a new short story. I also updated the fan art section with two new drawings of Kitty.
I updated the multi-media page with a pic of "The Pryde and Terror of the X-men" (under products) and I also updated the Fun Stuff/Games section on the multi-media page with something new and fun. It's a Kitty coloring book for your enjoyment, so sit down and color today and remember why you loved it as a kid :-).
I awarded the "Pick of the Litter Award" for the month of October, 2003. I also updated the links page with three new links. One is under the Excalibur links and is called "The Sword in the Stone" and two are under the "Pryde and Wisdom Heading" and those are "The Dangerous Sports Club" (an online Pryde and Wisdom Community) and "The Dangerous Sports Club: Pryde and Wisdom Fanlisting" (self explainatory, although I can't figure out how it works yet).
And that's about it and it was fun to finally get some work done on the site. Enjoy!
10/17/03
I'm sorry that the only update I have for today is that I decorated the main pages for Halloween. I'm trying to get stuff done, but unfortunately work and real life seem to hold me back on getting updates to you guys. I'm going to try darn hard to get some updating done this weekend though, so hopefully you'll see more added soon.
10/12/03
I updated the forum, by the way, on the last update for Halloween because I figured I wouldn't have time later this month. Anyway, onto the updates for today.
I updated the gallery with some new images. I updated the splash page with a new rotating opening graphic. I also updated Locked and Loaded, the Lockheed section with some new stuff. I also updated the main pages with some new rotating graphic Kitty moments. Enjoy!
10/5/03
I updated the Multi-Media page with a whole bunch of stuff. There are some new products up, there is something new under "Pryde of the X-men", something new under "X-men 2" and something new under "Miscellaneous" on that section of the site. There is also something new up on the Miscellaneous page where I gave reviews of some of the new Kitty (or not so new) Kitty products I've gone and bought lately. I also updated the gallery with some new images.
And that's about it for today. I'll get around to updating the rest tommorrow, probably and hopefully.
10/4/03
I FINALLY after two attempts (my stupid file got corrupted with four issues to go) got the next page of the chronology up and running guys and gals. My editor, that is my husband, is out of town working right now, so there might be a couple of things that need fixed, but he'll catch them when he gets back home. For now enjoy what I have up and I'll start to work on the next section sometime soon :-). That's the only update for tonight, but I figure it's a pretty good update so I'll leave it at that.
9/27/03
MAN I'm behind. Sorry for the long gap between updates guys and gals, but I got hit with a super flu germ and was down for two weeks (about) and now that I'm on anti-biotics and decongestants I'm doing a lot better. So, hopefully I'll get the site back up to date in no time. I updated the multi-media page tonight with some new products and also the miscellaneous part OF that page with something I didn't know where to stick anywhere else. And unfortunately that's all for tonight. I've got some cool stuff coming though, so stay tuned (for instance updates to Lockheed and Wisdom's site, Kitty's site, and a new cool section and stuff like that...I have GOT to get updating now that I'm feeling somewhat human again).
9/19/03
I updated a couple of sections today. I updated the gallery with some new images. I updated the main splash page with two new Kitty opening images. I updated the Kitty moments on the opening pages with a brand new Kitty moment. I updated the news section with some brand new Kitty product news and I updated the multi-media page with a bunch of new stuff, including some things for X-men Evolution (under Cartoons), Kitty products (under the products/toys) and some Pryde of the X-men stuff (under its own subsection under the main Movies section). And I think that's about it for now. Enjoy!
9/12/03
I updated a lot today. Let's see here. I updated the gallery with a brand new section for Kitty's costumes. I think it turned out rather well. I redid the background of the IE version of the site in the gallery because I thought it looked better with the new background. I updated Kitty's News section with some new Kitty news and I updated the Multi-Media page with some brand new Kitty products/toys and also linked directly to places where you can buy some of the ones already up there to make it easier for you to go "Kitty shopping" :-).
I updated the Pick of the Litter Award for the month of September. I updated the links page with some brand new links for Comic Book Fans/Comic Book Resources.
I also updated Kitty's Site with some cool new stuff, so check that out!
And I think that's about it. Enjoy!
9/07/03
I updated the news section with semi-new Kitty news that relates to products, not the comics. I also udpated the Kitty Multi-media section with some products that Kitty appears on or in.
I also updated the Kitty moments with 4 new Kitty moments on the rotating graphic on the main pages. I also updated the gallery with some new images.
I also updated the quotes section with some new quotes from Excalibur 102. And I updated Kitty's history to bring it more up to date and clean it up a bit.
And I updated the FAQ section with two new questions and their consecutive answers. Thanks for asking questions guys and gals!
9/05/03
Okay, okay *deep breath* I HATE doing huge change, but I did a big one today and created a "new" index page for the site (GOD I hope it works out okay...I'm so nervous about this). It even has a rotating graphic that comes up with cool images to look at and I have links that will direct you to whatever version of the site you choose. I just pray that it looks okay to everyone else (looks okay to me) and it won't take me 17 million years to change all of the "home" links on my old Netscape version (DON'T use those for now unless you want to get shot back to the "entrance" page by the way). Please though, for the love of everything, if you absolutely hate it let me know now so that I can do something else before committing myself to a lot of work! I did this mainly because I didn't want "double counting" of hits now that my counter has been relaunched by Bravenet I don't have as much control as I used to over it. I'm hoping to add some Alan Davis shots of Kitty to the opening page because he is one of the greatest artists ever, but we'll see when I find time. GOD I hope that this newest change works *crosses fingers*.
I also added a new "News" section to the site so that I can keep all of that straight and to make it easier on all of you. I apologize for not doing that before now, but I just kept forgetting to do it. There's no new Kitty news on it right now, but if you can come up with some suggestions to make the site better, let me know. I also added new backgrounds (that are less annoying on the eyes and more "Kitty" oriented), on the Multi-Media and Phasing sections of the site to make it easier to read. I'll try to get to the rest of the star backgrounds on the new version soon, I promise.
I've got some other updates to make, but that'll have to wait as I have updates to do on the other sites (Kitty's site and so forth) as well for tonight, so I'll get to the other updates tommorrow :-).
9/03/03
I updated the links page by alphabetizing it and adding a new "cooler Kitty" background to it. I also updated the gallery with some new images. And I updated the main page with a new "Kitty moment" on the rotating graphic. And that is about it for tonight. I've got tons else to add, but I'm out of time for the night.
8/30/03
I updated the FAQ section with two new questions and I also updated the Miscellaneous page with some new Kitty news today. That's about it.
8/28/03
Good Lord where to start! Well let's start with the most important things first. First of all my husband did a wonderful job on a new FAQ page for Kitty! You'll find it on the main directory.
I also am launching a brand new site called "Locked and Loaded" dedicated to Pete Wisdom and Lockheed. Check it out today!
I also updated the directory (again) on the IE version of the site to hopefully make it easier to navigate. I have created a "float over" subdirectory that SHOULD show up when you run your mouse over the "fan stuff" or "webpage stuff" sections. If it doesn't show up for you (it does in IE 6 and Netscape 6.6, but other than that I don't know), then you should still be able to click on the fan stuff and webpage stuff links and get a nice list on the main window to follow. Let me know what you think.
On that directory I also added a few new links, such as the "contact me" link to make things easier for people.
And I THINK that's it for now. I know it doesn't seem like much but that was a ton of work and my husband and I both worked very hard on it. Thanks for visiting!
8/20/03
I updated the multi-media page today with a whole bunch of new stuff, including a new shot of the "Pryde of the X-men" VHS slipcover and some other stuff.
I also updated the miscellaneous page with a new item and I updated the gallery with a couple of new images.
I'm sorry I didn't get to more, but my CD rewriter disk died and I've had to rebuild some things I lost tonight, work has been a bear and life has sorta sucked this week, so I haven't had a lot of time to do stuff.
8/15/03
First of all I'd like to say "oops" to at least two things. One is that I forgot to thank Flyin Ryan, The Red King, for providing the information about X-men: Evolution on the last miscellaneous page update. I also messed up on the date that I updated the website because I, in all of my busy stupidity, forgot to switch my calander by my desk over from July until yesterday. So, all I can say is that I'm going with 8/8/03 for the last group of updates because I screwed up and don't know what day of the week I updated the website on.
Now onto the updates for today. I updated Kitty's site with some new stuff. I also updated the multi-media page with a new game/fun thing to do. I also updated the links page with a whole huge scad of new links and added a couple of new sub-sections to make it easier to find what you are looking for.
I updated the stats page with a new entry for Kitty that I managed to dig up.
I also fixed some errors I had on the page. I updated Kitty's introduction to take out some akward wording. I fixed the quotes page where I had some typos and some spelling errors. I also updated the miscellaneous page with a thank you to Red King under the last miscellaneous update. And I THINK that's it for now. Enjoy.
8/8/03
I updated the links page and the Pick of the Litter Award with the new address for Shadowcat Blue (since he went with a paid service, so no pop up adds either! Yay!!!). I also updated the second page/directory page of the Netscape Version of the Catbox to be A) Easier to find stuff, and B) In alphabetical order. It was getting so big it was driving me crazy trying to find things, so I can imagine how you all felt.
I also updated the Netscape version by adding the quotes page section (my bad that's been on the IE version for quite a while *oops*) and I also updated the quotes page on the IE version as well. I also updated the introduction to Kitty just by adding some stuff so it wasn't so outdated. Also, I updated the Netscape version with a direct link to the list of issues Kitty is in just to make life easier for people. And I updated the issues list just by taking down expired links and making it so that people know that Pryde of the X-men isn't there anymore *sob*.
I updated the miscellaneous page with some new stuff.
I also updated the page dedicated to my life, just made small changes to my bio.
And, as usual, I'm working on other stuff, but I'm not done yet, so in the meantime enjoy the updates!
8/5/03
I updated the links page with a new Kitty link (a great new site you should check out) for a site called "Shadowcat Blue" and I also awarded the Pick of the Litter Award for the month of August, 2003. I'll get more updates done soon, promise.
7/31/03
I updated the gallery with new images today and I also updated Kitty's site with two new bios. Sorry there isn't more there guys. I'm not only busy, but I also am working on another project, so I haven't had a lot of time on my hands. Enjoy!
7/23/03
I updated the chronology page with a new page of issues. I also updated the stats page with brand new Kitty stats stuff and I even updated the introduction to that page to bring it up to date. I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but it is trust me.
7/21/03
BLAH! I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to update. Man I wish I got paid to do this instead of my job! I enjoy this a lot more. Oh well.
Anyway, I updated the multi-media page with some new toys/products that deal with Kitty and added one thing to the miscellaneous sub-section on the multi-media page. I also updated the gallery with some new images and the card gallery (thanks Patrick!) with a new card (front and back). I also updated Kitty's page with some new bios. Unfortunately, that's all for tonight because I have work tommorrow, but hopefully more will come soon.
7/6/03
Good Lord I have a lot of updates today. I'll try to list them quickly so I can head to bed. I updated the forums. On the Chalk and Cheese we have a new Co-Moderator, which is awesome and thank you to Masterharper Xeus for volunteering for the job. I also added a new note on the general forum about fan fiction to help protect the writers of the fan fiction or just plain fiction they post.
I updated the links page with three new Kitty links and one new Lockheed link, located under the Pryde and Wisdom tag because I have been too lazy to develop an Excalibur sub-list.
I updated the Miscellaneous page and the Multi-Media page with a cool new feature the Catbox is offering and that is "Ryan's Reviews". Flyin Ryan, The Red King, is going to do editorials on what is happening to Kitty in the current comic book so that you all can keep up with our favorite super-heroine (since I don't read the current comics anymore, I wanted to be fair to those of you who did). Thanks Ryan!
I also updated the Multi-Media page with a brand new section that contains some games if you want to play them. I also updated it with a new product that you can purchase that deals with Kitty and I updated the Miscellaneous section with something new.
I updated the Disclaimer Page to thank a couple of new people who have helped me out recently.
I updated the "Pick of the Litter" award for the month of July, 2003 by giving it out to a new winner.
I updated the Gallery with brand new Kitty pictures.
I updated the Fan Art section with a brand new drawing, although mind you it's still in its rough sketch stage so you might see that drawing progress as time goes on :-).
I updated Kitty's page as well, so please check out her updates for more on that.
And finally I also updated the main page with a brand new Kitty moment added to the rotating graphic gallery.
And I THINK that's it. If I missed some of the updates...well find them then because I'm tired and I can't think of anything else I did *laugh*. I think I made up for not updating in two weeks tonight ;-).
6/26/03
I updated Kitty's page by launching a brand new forum. Check it out and post on it to say "hi" to the X-men or start a conversation. Just read the rules before you post if you would.
6/23/03
I updated Kitty's page with four new bios.
6/21/03
I updated the links page with a new link to yet another one of my sister-in-law's sites. "From the Mind of Adriana...A Webpage" is under the "Other Entertainment/Comic Book Links", so please check it out. She's very proud of it and she's worked very hard on it.
6/20/03
I updated Kitty's page (check out her updates for details) and I also updated the miscellaneous section with a new offer from a guy putting together a DVD for sale.
6/19/03
I updated Kitty's page (check out her updates for further details) and I also updated the awards won page because we won a new award!!!! Yay!!!!
6/18/03
I updated Kitty's site with a whole new format which I am REALLY proud of (darn it looks good...least I think so). Check it out and let me know what you think. I'm still working on it though, so be patient with the discussion forum on her site and the bios section (I'm slowly redoing both).
6/13/03
I updated the multi-media page with a new group shot from the X-men 2 movie and if you look REALLLYYYY close you can see Kitty in the background off to the right hand side of the picture behind Cyclops. I also updated the multi-media page with an in depth interview with Katie Stuart about her role in X-men 2. Thanks to Katie Stuart.net for providing me with the information as I have not had time to send off an interview to Katie Stuart myself (yet *sigh*).
6/11/03
I updated the fan fiction section today with a new short story. I hope to get more done soon. Sorry for the delay all, but I've been busy.
6/7/03
I updated the links page with a bunch of new links under the Kitty and Pete section and the comic book resources section and also the character sites section. I'm hopefully going to be able to finish up some other stuff here sometime soon, so stay tuned and I'll get it up ASAP :-).
6/3/03
I updated the gallery/images section with a BRAND NEW card gallery! Awesome huh? There's plenty of Kitty cards to look at so check it out! I also updated the links page with two new links.
5/27/03
I updated the chronology pages with cover shots that I was missing on the third and fourth pages I believe. I'm working on other stuff though, so stay tuned.
5/25/03
I updated the links page with tons of new Comic Book Resources Links and divided the Entertainment links a bit so that it works better.
5/23/03
I updated the links page with a new link.
I have to apologize for the lack of updates this last week, but I've been super busy working on some pretty extreme updates for parts of the website and unfortunately it's not something I can reveal piecemail, so I just ask that you all be patient. I'll update as much as I can in the meantime. Thanks!
5/16/03
I updated the awards won page because we won the award for Best Shadowcat Site from X-women.org!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!
Ahem. I'm sorry to say, but that's the biggest update today. More to come tommorrow, but this has been a very long day and I just want to go to bed right now.
5/14/03
I updated the Multi-Media page with some brand new information on X-men 3. I also updated it with a new interview with some of the cast of X-2. Pretty neat stuff. Check it out.
5/12/03
I updated the Miscellaneous Page with some new things on the X-men movie and also an interview with the REAL KITTY PRYDE!!! I've been looking everywhere for this thing since Pryde of the X-men went down and I FINALLY found it!!! Bwahahahahahaha!!! Ahem. Anyhow, enjoy that, it's a fun read.
I also updated the Multi-Media page with different things and I redid the format on that page so it's a bit more broken up and seems to work better.
I updated the main page with new Kitty moments.
I updated the links page with TONS of new links, especially Kitty links, so check that one out.
I also updated the wallpapers section with a new Kitty and Lockheed wallpaper.
AND I updated the gallery with 6 new images.
And I think that's it. Have fun.
5/7/03
NOTE: As of 5/7/03 the IE version of the Catbox is experiencing a new format to how the website is done to make it not only easier to navigate but also to simplify the directory so that you can fit it all on one page. We now have two subdirectories. One is Fan Stuff which has links to my fan fiction, my fan art, my costume redesigns and my wallpapers. We also have Webpage Stuff which has the links page, the award offered by the Catbox, the Awards Won by the Catbox, the webrings that I belong to, the disclaimer section, the updates archive and my website about myself. I'd appreciate feedback about the new format and whether or not you like it so please E-mail me and let me know what you think.
In other news, I updated the links page with a new RPG link. I also updated the chronology page with a whole new page of issues. I updated Kitty's History to be more up to date. I updated the "Pick of the Litter Award" for the month of June 2003. I updated the disclaimer page with a new disclaimer. And I THINK that's it.
5/04/03
I updated the links page by fixing a boo boo on one of the links and also added a link under "Other Entertainment Links" with a link to a really cool site that focuses only on collecting card check lists, so if you're looking for a character card and can't find it, go there and see which ones you're missing. I also updated Kitty's Chronology by adding three issues I was missing on her first page of issues and I also expanded the summaries on the first and second page of issues to be more in depth. More to come.
5/02/03
I updated the main page with five new Kitty moments. I also updated the gallery with like 12 new images.
4/29/03
I updated the multi-media page with Kitty pics from the X-men 2 movie. I updated the links page with three new Kitty related links, one new Pryde and Wisdom link and maybe some other links that I can't remember. I also updated the Pick of the Litter Award for the month of May 2003. And I think that's it for now.
3/25/03
Yayyyyy!!! For the first time in FOREVER I've updated my fan fiction section. It's only one short story, but I finally finished a story!!! Now only *looks at file* like seven more to go!!! Woohoo!!!
3/9/03
I know this is early for the 9th, but I didn't feel like putting the eighth again. Anyway, I updated the wallpapers section with three new Kitty solo wallpapers. That's about it, but I'm hoping to do more soon.
3/8/03
I updated the links page today, the Pick of the Litter Award page and guess what??? We won an award!!!! WOOOHOOO!!! First one we've actually won in like 3 years. Neat huh?
I also updated the miscellaneous page with some X-men movie news for those who are curious. I'm going to try and get to some other updating sometime soon.
1/24/03
I updated the links page completely seeing as how a lot of the links were dead and I hadn't done a complete overhaul of the thing in like six months. I also updated the Pick of the Litter Award page, trying to take down SOME (haven't gotten all of them yet) of the links that don't work anymore and also award the award for the month as well as adding a site to Nate's victory of last month. I also updated the Multi-Media page with a cool new thing.
I'm going crosseyed now, so I'm going to bed.
1/13/03
I apologize profusely for not having updated before now, but I have been super busy working two jobs and trying to deal with all of the great things people get to deal with in their lives on top of everything else (like being sick), so I haven't had a lot of time or energy to put toward the webpage. But that should change in the next week or so, so be prepared...cause I have tons of ideas if I can find time to get them down and uploaded.
I have turned the page back to normal and have updated the Pick of the Litter Award for the last couple of months. I am also going to go through the links page in the next couple of days and add some things and rip other stuff down to bring that up to date.
I'll find time. I keep telling myself that.
