1312008 - Did I Say I Nearly Died? (And Cried)
DJ Mad Dogg is the best dude ever

I received a message from DJ Mad Dogg. He went to New York, told Lil' Eddie about me and asked him to sign me a mixtape. So he did and Mad Dogg will send it to me soon. Tomorrow will be the first day at work. Fingers crossed.

My granddad is in the hospital, again

My granddad (the same as the kneecap) has pneumonia and is in the hospital at the moment. When we went to visit him, he was emotional and asked me if I wanted to come to Portugal this summer. And then my dad went emotional as well. DRAMA DRAMA.

1232008 - Recognision - FINALLY
DJ Mad Dogg left me a message

The person who made Lil' Eddie's official mixtape, DJ Mad Dogg, left me a message on MySpace, telling me he appreciates that I like what he's done.

My dad got me a job I didn't want and my wishlist

My lovely dad got me a job at the same company I worked at last summer. I told him before I didn't want to work there anymore, but he decided to tell them I was looking for a job. This all behind my back. But because I will earn some money, I am somewhat happy and made myself a wishlist.

1112008 - Dammit, I Got So Excited!
I recieved a second message from Lil' Eddie

My love for Lil' Eddie is deep and I was so excited when he replied to my message about 2 of his songs.

1022008 - Oh The Horror
My granddad is in the hospital and LLD is finally open

My mom told me my granddad collapsed, and I was very scared because he's having problems with his heart. Fortunately it wasn't his heart, he broke his kneecap. I went to see him later that evening. On a more joyful note, La Lietta Designs is finally open, as well as Anywhere But Home.

1012008 - Happy New Year
Finally 2008

Hopefully 2008 will bring as much joy, food and good music as 2007 did.

12302007 - Rest In Peace
Bought new movies and my aunt died

Although the day started nice with some new (awesome) movies and my first Prison Break DVD box, it ended with a painful bang. My aunt had died, after 10 years of pain and sickness. We took my cousin home and I tried my best to keep her focused on something else.

12272007 - Late Night Post
Harry Potter 3, Wordpress and Mozilla Firefox

Watching Harry Potter 3 had me wondering why I never watched it before. I'm thinking about switching the site to Wordpress, although my last experience with Wordpress wasn't that good. I also tried Mozilla Firefox for the first time, but I'm not sure whether I like it.

12252007 - Diamond
What I got for christmas and how come I liked Harry Potter

My sister bought me a Diamond ring and Covet Sarah Jessica Parker for christmas. And because I didn't feel like being with my family, I stayed at home and watched Harry Potter 2, to my surprise I actually quite liked it.

Version #8
"Bias"
Name: Bias
Version: Eight
Designed by: Me
Featuring: Christina Aguilera, M.I.A., Ana Beatriz Barros, Wynter Gordon, Robyn, Ciara
Again, one of my favourites. I really love this version. I wanted to make the site more professional and unfortunately I don't know how to create flash files, so I used image links and a more "proffesional looking font": Arial Narrow for the titles.

I started with the Christina Aguilera manipulation. I used her photo and replaced her nose, eyes and eyebrows for my own. She looks kinda scary now, but it's still funny. I first only had her photo as a layout, with the site logo plus menu. But then I decided to expand a bit more and use more people.

I then renamed all the files and organised the site a bit more, so it only contained 4 mainpages.

Christina is the Blog, Wynter is About, Robyn is Station (domain) and Ana is Love (links). I think this works very well and I love it. Unfortunately some parts don't work in FireFox, such as the titles of the pages; they should have a border on the bottom from left to right. That is because I started using FireFox AFTER I coded the entire layout, so when I found this error, it was too late and to be frank, I have no idea how to fix it.

Version #7
"Way Of Words"
Name: Way Of Words
Version: Seven
Designed by: Me
Featuring: Adriana Lima
This was a temperary design, featured Adriana Lima and just my blog. This was up while redesigning the entire site. The header was created as a signature to use on the Hedlund Daily forums, but I needed something to stuff on the top of the page, so I used this one. Not such a great layout, but it was simple and I actually quite liked it.

Version #6
"Lima Bean"
Name: Lima Bean
Version: Six
Designed by: Me
Featuring: Adriana Lima
Inspired by: New Horizont Designs
I started this one with the intention of using it, but I never added it. I wanted to redesign the entire site and this one wouldn't fit in. I then put up the temperary version (#7). I did like this design, but it was too stolen from NHD.

Version #5
"Scrabble"
Name: Scrabble
Version: Five
Designed by: Me
Featuring: Adriana Lima
I made a layout for Garrett Hedlund Daily with various stock images, such as fabrics and pins. I then made one for ABH as well, but I never put it up. I don't know why, maybe because it would have been too much work for a site I barely updated. I did like this piece, as it looked like what my desk looks like, all full of cr*p.

Version #4
"Victoria's Secret"
Name: Victoria's Secret
Version: Four
Designed by: Me
Featuring: Adriana Lima, Ana Beatriz Barros, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr, Gisele Bunchen, Izabel Goulart
Inspired by: Girlish.co.nr
Not one of my favourites, but I did like it. Featured photos from the 2006 Victoria's Secret fashion show, which is one of my favourite shows EVER. I did like the colors, but I wish I had just used two colors, like red & white (which would have been more apropriate for Victoria's Secret). This was the first time I used rounded tables and it worked just fine. I also included a tagboard, which wasn't really nessecary. This version was up along with Version #3, and I had a link on both version to the other.

Version #3
"Modern Old School"
Name: Modern Old School
Version: Three
Designed by: Me
Featuring: Adriana Lima, Alicia Keys, Lina, Gwen Stefani, Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Raica Oliveira, Laryssa Castro, Beyoncé Knowles, Rihanna, Ana Beatriz Barros
Inspired by: ShopJLO.com
My favourite so far. It was 90% designed by me, I did however use the background from ShopJLO.com. Using Vintage in your webdesign or whatever it is you used it for, whether music video or movie, was very popular (think of The Aviator movie, Christina Aguilera's "Back To Basics" album and Stacie Orrico's "I'm Not Missing You" music video). I therefor wanted something like that. I finally worked with PHP Includes, which was new to me but immediately knew how to use it. I liked every aspect of this layout, from the image rotation, to the text and colors.

Version #2
"Still"
Name: Still
Version: Two
Designed by: Me
Featuring: Jennifer Lopez
Inspired by: Madonna.nu
One of my favourite ones. I really liked the colors and the whole package. That image is one of my favourite Jennifer Lopez' photos and Still is one of my favourite fragrances. The pink/white looked awesome, although the text was a bit too small for various screen resolutions. It was also very hard to update, as every page had a Headlines section, and because I didn't know how to use PHP Includes, I had to update EVERY single page.

Version #1
"Embuscade"
Name: Embuscade
Version: One
Designed by: Me
Featuring: Adriana Lima, Teairra Mari, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Brooke Valentine
Inspired by: Kilikia-a.com
I didn't really like this version, but it seemed like a right idea at the time. The whole thing was way too tabled, with a lot of colors, which isn't nessecarily a bad thing. I did however like the headers, all of them featured 3 images of one artist, with a logo box on the middle one. Was very hard to code, because back then I wasn't really into image slicing.
