Well gee it's been nearly 9 months since I've posted in here LOL! Just to let members know wondermaraful.net is still running strong and well irregardless that mara sites have been down for over a month now. I also added new things to my site, I am still in Ottawa Ontario so added a new clock so members could contact me when I am on line according to my local time. (My MSN messenger link is there as well) Members can add that to their own if they have it. Just rememebr I block and deleate the rude ones just as quick as I accept them.

I noticed my board was being spammed by idiots who were trying to plug ringtones and more so I NOW have my site as no longer automatically accepting posts, ALL posts NOW have to be approved so if you plan on posting here... make sure it's legiut and related to either marapets, coding, html, or wondermaraful in general or me personally. Getting sick of the morons, go bug someone else!

On a new note I am working lots outside of my home as well as on line. I've been hired as the graphics designer for a new site thats not even on line as of yet called Blizzardpets and I'm doing well there. John and Jean are the owners and Jean approched me months ago before the site even had a domain name and asked me if I'd be intrested in doing the art for the site, so far things have been going well I got hired mainly due to the fact that wondermaraful.net is so well known and because so many people refered me to me when it came to graphics My job outside of my home is seeing me do sales for a local gas station/one stop shop, it's nothing fancy but it pays to keep my site going LOL

So all in all I'm still alive and kicking I am doing things for my site and I have added new things to my site as well including a few new club layouts and more backgrounds and a hints page for the undying festival for 2008 hope all my friends are doing well and hope to hear from others who have more requests, you can post suggestions here.

OK 2 months later and here I am back posting again. I had one member bashed me saying  "YOU have NO fans" Hey anyone out there disagree?  You can post and tell annoymous you ARE a fan of mine if you want LOL  
my marasite tells a diffrent story than what she says... wanna look? >>> http://www.marasites.com/?name=lilaj378&page=Fan_Mail 

I'm sure I made my point LOL.

Anyway I am around in mara more Two out of the 6 books I am writing are NOW compleated edited and on line for those old enough to read them (18+) *still minor typos but LOL they are there**

I am NOW situated in my new apartment in Gloucester Ottawa Ontario I love it here it's so peaceful I think I'll be working on more HTML stuff and POSSIBLY new layouts for clubs in the future  
I know a lot of members have made the request I add a few like  Spider man,  Simpsons and  Harry potter (last movie that was released) I'll have to consider it

I have been having MINOR family issues with a sibling but my ever loving uncle has been so supportive and his partner. Gotta love them two
They keep me up and remind me it's not my fault, I was trying to be a good person. I was also informed by my wonderful daughter that the so called "appologie" that was sent in my direction (but missed it's mark) wasn't an appologie at all but a gloat. My daughter is right.
Well mara calls for me I have a club I need to get to 300 members soon as I want to give away 3 (three) free AU's to some lucky club members YEAH!! lol  
(LONG TERM MEMBERS!!! so don't join just cause you seen this! there are rules before you can participate!)

anyway laters all

OK so things haven't been up to date as much as usual...well there's a good explination for that...

I moved...

1,409 km – about 14 hours 32 mins away from my former residences...

I'm now in lovely Gatineau Quebec, just ouside of Alymer and hull Quebec...

Why did I move? WHY?..ummm...I can't be bothered to get into it, lets just say it was my heath was a main reason and leave it at that ok

I'll try to update soon ok. just with the move and christmas comming and my book in the works (NO it's not something kids will read...:S)
again with everything going on I really don't have tons of time to update much. So bear with me, ask questions if you must and I'll try my best to get in and see whats up ok...
PS to my fans thanks for sticking around

http://www.marasites.com/?name=lilaj378 My Marasite...has been redone...it took 19 hours of continious work, and still adding, YES I finally updated my sites pages, both my marasite AND http://wondermaraful.net site as well

(one is my regular marasite and the other is my backup marasite through Bravenet.)

I can't get over how much I accomplished in 19 hours! and I'm also adding in the near future more cursors, more music (yes I got more server space now I have to pay for more music...and those who TELL me get songs with words... GET THEM YOURSELF!) I am NOT being sued for "stealing" music and sharing them that way. I am providing MIDI (eletronic paino) songs created by others which are offered for a small fee or for free.. If YOU as a user HAVE to have music in your pages with vocals BUY your own I'm not getting anything except a possibility of being sued for you or anyone else... PS dont like this then get off my page... and bug someone elsewho actually knows what they are doing when it comes to music and cursors.

I've noticed as of recentally more and more people/members come to me asking for new/custom this and that, thinking I have nothing better to do than to cater to their wants.
What I do is done freely & when I have time I'm NOT at everyones beck and call JUST because I play in mara...
I do NOT no matter what you offer, bribe me with, or threaten me over make custom Siggies or club layouts if you do not like what I have in my site THEN DON'T USE MY STUFF or if you have any common sence, EDIT it yourslef...
just don't remove my link back doing so will still have it noticed by others and it will get reported since about 90% of the maradan population KNOWS who I am.

I may not be staff but I'm still well known and MANY will report stolen stuff to me be it siggies, layouts or other coding...and rememebr if your reported you can get into some serious trouble... dont' believe me read here. 

(Rules below as is posted same as above link...rules [terms/conditions])

Rules about Graphics and HTML code
*My comments will be in bold*

Marapets images may be used and altered freely within the Marapets network sites (marapets.com, marasites.com etc). If you wish to use marapets images on another website then you must include a copyright notice such as 'Copyright 2004-2007 Marapets.com All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission'
Regarding members own original artwork and html code (ie marasite and club layouts etc)

Artwork and code may be sold or traded for mp or items. Any material sold in this way should be either your own original work or art which you have PERMISSION to edit and has been edited to be significantly different. For example you may NOT simply steal another member's siggy and sell it! Art or code which you have bought may be edited for your own use however.
(This also includes Art you ASK to use, want to use my art for siggies ect MAIL AND ASK FIRST!)

If you buy art or code for mp (for example a layout for your club) and it includes a tag saying 'made by etc' then you should not remove this. If you significantly alter the layout/art yourself then you may change it to a tag such as 'based on work by etc'
(Selling a layout clearly made by another member will get you reported by others who notice it EVEN if your club is private MEMEBERS in your club WILL turn you in so don't try it!)

When you sell your original artwork and code on marapets, you are giving up your rights to it. You may not specify how it is to be used etc.
(This is ONLY if you sell it if you offer it freely OTHERS can't sell it EVEN if they do edit it...since it is STILL the creators art work)

You may not steal another member's siggy, profile images, club and marasite images or layout or content. However, members should also not claim that images which are in the public domain (for example that they found on the net on another site) are their own original work which must not be used by others
(It's safer to NOT take from a non free/sharewear site...try to make your own like I make about 90% of my backgrounds ect...)

Ideas MAY NOT be 'copyrighted' on marapets - for example if you think of an original idea for your siggy and then another member copies the idea (but uses their own artwork) then that is not grounds for reporting them.

**********************************

Hopefully those who actually READ this posting (yes 90% don't bother cause they are too damn lazy)
will understand that even thou I play in mara I'm not there JUST to make crap for everyone else, I'm around to help, to chat to my friends and to have fun. 
I AM a nice person when I'm not being annoyed or pervoked. I'm NOT some adult FREAK as I've been called MANY times...(I'm getting tired of the snot nosed brats in mara to..but thats another posting)

OH and anyone who curses again in my blog or in my comment box...WILL face my wrath, this WHOLE site where commnets can be posted back is monitered and filtered and all postings have to be approved FIRST, so if you don't want to get your happy butt reported, DO NOT be posting cuss words in my site! My site is for the GENERAL public! PS I can also can record and track Ip addys so don't think that JUST because you don't use your mara name you can't get reported...Like I said I'm getting tired of the snot nosed brats...and I'm putting my foot down NOW.

Lila  

After marasites being down for more than 9 months they are finally back (I kinda wonder how long thou...) seeing that the site tends crash more often than canada's failing navy sea king helicopters *and they crash lots!*

Anyway I updated and revamped nearly 90% of my site and it's alot easier to manuover now since I now have the side bar and stuff in my headder and the main content in the main set of the page and a nice footer as well makes for an easier set up ONE page to edit when adding links and affiliates

I added Blogs for marasites and MANY have asked me how come there' s no marasite layouts...
well there is, USE the same layouts that are used in clubs and edit them! I mean they ain't THAT hard to fix up...if your looking for custome then memebrs will HAVE to be HTML savy or I can't be bothered... I HATE teaching how to do things on line it's so hard...

Also to those who KEEP asking...I use Photoshop 7, 8, 9, 10 AND CS for making graphics Photoshop 7 is my ULTIMATE favorite and always wil be. Paintshop pro as well and animationshop 3 for animations.

If your looking for free things check out GIMP and MS gif Annimator.

If anyone has questions feel free to mail me and ask, or better yet, post here and ask i'll know you were here.

Well news wise, I created my own club, and well we had a few problems in the beginning.
On April 8th, 2007 I created the first club my friends and I had, we gained 40 members in 20 weeks which was amazing and then 30 days exactally our club went poof...Don't ask me how I have no idea, I am a clicking klutz so I could have pressed soemthing I shouldn't have who knows...but I wasn't editing at the time so it makes me wonder what went wrong, either way it didn't matter I had the news out that the club was gone in a matter of seconds and then a new one redone (I had saved the orginal coding! YEAH ME! LOL)

15 mins after the club went down on May 8th 2007 I had Wondermaraful2U back up and running and 22 members back out of the 40 we had started with. Today, we're on the 2nd page listing clubs with 102 members I've had an AU give away for members and not a single one has claimed their prize yet thou I mailed Ian and asked him to transfer the credits over. (He tends to be too darn busy updating to move credits LOL, I'm sure Simon will in a few days hopefully)

I have future things going on in my club and my site I can't wait till mara uploads is working again
and my marasite I have TONS of plans and seeing all the psots I've been getting as of lately I see many are just itching to see what I come up with next sure hope I don't disappoint LOL

Lila

Well I'm a happy camper LOL Awhile back I had ordered a platinum marasite and things kinda went PTTT on me and I lost my old domain (http://wondermaraful.com) hence why I now have wondermaraful.net instead LOL I had mailed Ian and asked him about fixing things up...I got Simon instead telling me "marasites are down unfourtunally" I chuckled cause I guess he didin't know the situation being that mine was platinum and not one of the old ones...Oh well poor kid didn't have a clue. I did how ever mail him back letting him know it's best to just let Ian handle it  since I wanted just to change the whole thing...I couldn't have my old domain so I said the heck with it...just get the credits and spend them instead LOL was easier to I got them the other day I was soo pleased (better than waiting 9 months like last time for the journal ones I had gotten LOL ) anyway I now have this site going now makes for easier tracking anyway LOL and soon I plan on adding photoshop tutorials   I hope it helps members  

I was told a while back (via my guest book) that I should add some not so good layouts for clubs ..I kinda thougth that was funny... I mean I'm professional, how to I do a "not so good" layout? I don't want my reputation ruined for being "lazy" something I am far from LOL...
I guess it takes a bit of understanding...if your a layout designer you know what I mean if not *shrugs* oh well LOL...

Took me a bit but I now think most of my site is ready to go.
I have at least 95% of all the links up and running and working just fine
and when I have time I plan on going through the whole site and seeing
just what else I need to do I think there just may be a few more links I have to add.

I have passed on the links to many of my friends  and clients so here's hoping some
of htem actually comment on my blog or sign my guest book. I do appreciate seeing who's
been here and if they need help  

Anyway I should scoot I have much to do and so little time to do it in
have a wondermaraful day

Lila

http://wondermaraful.net is now my domain and is just an extention of my site it looks like I will be keeping this one since it's easier for me to use and it keeps me happy...

I think I will be asking Ian if he can just refund me my credit since I lost my orginal domain name http://wondermaraful.com to namescheap.com who told me that it would cost me 208 $'s american to get my domain name back and it wasn't gurenteed that I would be able to access it since they wern't sure what server it was operating on... Idiots.. :S

I think this one will do just fine

anyway enjoy the changes and all the stuff I plan on adding here' shoping things don't get too messy and I can keep up with this site
