And now, Scary-Crayon presents... SNACK CAKE SUSHI!!! Enjoy!

Oh, and as noted in the now hopefully more visible Site Talk block on the main page, I switched its position with that of the Section Archives box (so if you're looking for it, just scroll down). To be honest, I'm not all *that* pleased with it this way, since if people aren't going to see things I'd much rather them miss the Site Talk than the older articles, but I figure I can always change it back depending on the information supplied by the logs. We'll see.

Anyway, gotta run, and I wrote quite a bit in the last post, so read that if you want to know what I've been up to. Ja.

Hey, sorry about the brief posting hiatus. Hopefully the artwork in this piece (among other things) will make up for it, and hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with a new SC article. In the meantime, hop over to the main page, read the Site Talk block, and write me with answers to my questions! They would be most helpful. And, y'know, leave donations if you want. 😉 (more...)

Yep. Two new pieces for today. First, "Joan of Arc", a new installment of Crayon Poetry Corner from contributor Jax! Welcome to the SC family, Jax. 🙂 And speaking of family, in the other piece, A Crayon Haiku Farewell, SC says goodbye to the noble Duncan MacPhish. Rest in peace, little guy. (more...)

So it looks like Scary-Crayon's fifteen minutes of fame are almost up, with the site only pulling in 1794 unique visitors yesterday and raking in just under 800 MB of traffic. With the exception of the net ads piece, which was viewed 1400 times, page views are just about back to normal. Admittedly, with me footing all bandwidth costs until July 17, the thought of a decrease in traffic isn't entirely unappealing, but I will miss the popularity of SC (even though it didn't get us any donations and only a couple of people e-mailed me about the site). Hey, I guess I can always look back and remember that seven day stretch during which SC pulled in over 20,000 unique visitors, eh? Not bad for our humble little page. 🙂 (more...)

Yeah, I'd already seen the logs, but I guess it takes a day or so for them to process 'em over in the billing department. (more...)
