Jillian Approved: Humor, News and Nonsense

Dammit, Disney has done it again.

OK so I like Disney. I especially like the Disney Channel… a lot. I’ve seen just about every episode of “That’s So Raven”, “Kim Possible”, “American Dragon”, and “Corey in the House”. I have also DVR’d countless Disney movies (High School Musical anyone??) I can’t get enough of it.

And now I’ll share my excitement with you. I’m 100% sure I’m alone in this, but I can contain myself no more!

I am bursting at the seams to see the new Disney movie, “Tinkerbell”, I can’t help thinking it’s going to be a healthy dose of colorful computer-animated girly goodness. Ahhh yes, a definite treat for the eyes.

It’s not unusual for me to have the Disney channel on in the background while I’m online, I like most of the shows and usually they make me laugh. As I was dividing my attention between the TV (I worship thee) and the internet, I saw one of their “Pixie Previews”.

And that’s when it was over for me.

Just as I was about to Google up more information the commercial was nice enough to direct me to the website. I immediately stopped what I was doing and quickly cyberspaced my way to the source. It’s beautiful… but then I would expect nothing less from Disney. I spent at least an hour reading up on the Pixie/Fairies (the names are used interchangeably by Disney) and where they live ( Pixie Hollow if you care to know). I watched the movie preview, ALL the “Pixie Previews” and even created my own Pixie/Fairy! So yeah, that was AWESOME and for some reason it really made my day.

To see more Disney Fairies you can visit: www.disneyfairies.com

And in case you were wondering… THIS is what MY Fairy looks like:

And now…

I said a post or so ago that I was going to list some sites that I found helpful in my journey to Blogdom (basically I did several searches and clicked around a lot). I’m sure the more experienced bloggers have “been there & done that” but on the off chance this *might* help someone else, I’ll go ahead and compile a list of sites that might be helpful to someone that’s as much of a newbie as I am.

NOTE: Because I’m kinda slow, I didn’t bookmark a lot (or any) of the sites I visited. So, the links you see here were dug out of my “history”.

As usual, be careful with anything you download. Don’t go and try to hold me responsible for anything… your computer your responsibility. Click at your own risk and all that (I’m not trying to scare you, but people can be unbelievable).

So here goes:

BLOG LAYOUTS:

• www.opendesigns.org/
• www.carlgalloway.com
• www.pyzam.com/(LOTS of layouts, but from what I’ve seen it’s just variations of Blogger’s “Minima” theme)
• www.tfy.burajiru.blog.br
• www.finalsense.com
• http://freeblogger-templates.blogspot.com(this site pops up everywhere!)
• http://themes.blogflux.com

GENERAL BLOGGER HELP (any and everything)

• http://www.bloggerbuster.com/
• http://betabloggerfordummies.blogspot.com (OMG! Extremely informative)
• http://bloggertricks.com

And here’s a helpful site for some BASIC HTML codes:

• www.web-source.net

Sure, you could just Google and find a ton of stuff on your own but hopefully this saves you a little time in the long run.

That’s pretty much it. There were supposed to be more links under “General Blogger” but I couldn’t find the rest of them (and once again my eyes were ready to explode from staring at my screen for too long so I just gave up).

Anyways, I hope this is helpful.
