So there are now new guidelines for our images. My personal picture is too big and my banner is too wide. Why do they have this new rule? I have no idea. But I don't like that I have to redo those pictures.
And I hope they fix that border around the avatars, since I'm fine with Linus and a fitting picture was difficult to find. It looks pretty weird with that border. I also hope that with picture guidelines there will not be borders around small banners and user images. Oh, well. At least we have two weeks.

Not again
by borisbalinkoff on Comments
Well, the site has yet another bug. This site has more problems than a resurrected soap opera character!
And, excluding this post, I have made eight blog posts, and received a grand total of three comments. I don't even understand the point of having friends on the site.
And I don't know why I bother writing blogs.
(My cousin advised me to keep my banner--so if you don't like it, too bad. You should have spoken up. But you probably don't care. You're probably not even reading this. *sigh*)

Banner still under construction--maybe
by borisbalinkoff on Comments
Well, I have updated my banner, and it is better now than it was before; however, I am not sure if it's as good as I want it to be. The resolution on the pictures isn't the greatest. They also look a little mismatched. On the other hand, I do like the way it looks, although it maybe could use some more painting. I'll ask my cousin what he thinks. I'd ask the opinions of fellow tv.commers, but no one comments on my blogs anyway :(. (Hint hint: should I change my banner or keep it?)
Banner under construction
by borisbalinkoff on Comments
Please don't laugh at my banner. It is under construction but I can't do it all at once.
I like the simplicity of the automatic banners, so I tried to incorporate it into my new one.
And I had trouble loading it. Then I realized the problem--my computer saves it with capital letters and tv.com only accepts lowercase (jpg as opposed to JPG)!

Yay!
by borisbalinkoff on Comments
Yay! I finally got my first submissions into my queue! Thanks, cantorgurl!
I've decided to be a friendly editor, but I'm not big on making friends. I've decided to track those who track The Munsters and two other shows that I track. I'm fine if he or she doesn't want to be friends. If someone tracks me, I will track him or her if he or she tracks two or more shows I like. I'm fine if he or she doesn't want to be friends. I am also tracking hughpine89, whom I know in real life, but he doesn't seem committed to the site.
Merry Christmas (for one and a half more hours here--au revoir, Christmas)!

Still nothing
by borisbalinkoff on Comments
I've been editor for a few weeks now. Still nothing in my queue. I guess that's good since I don't have much time. I shouldn't even be writing this blog. *sigh* The Munsters I guess just isn't a very popular show.
A new editorship
by borisbalinkoff on Comments
I recently acquired my first editorship, and it's an interesting story.
In the summer I was contributing to various shows. Then I thought, "Hey, The Munsters doesn't have an editor. I have 56 points, so I could easily become it!" So I contributed, and got 80 points. But I wasn't the editor, due to a "retired editor bug." I needed another point. So I contributed and was expecting to wake up to become the editor the next day, which happened to be the first day of school. I woke up, looked at the guide--and two people had surpassed my points! The guide had been dormant for weeks and months!
I checked out the new editor, studog2961. I viewed "him" as a nefarious villain who wanted to steal guides--after all, "he" did not list the show on his favorites. I regularly checked up on "his" guide, to see if "he" felt any remorse. After the initial shock, I didn't view "him" as negatively as I once had--especially when I found out "he" was a woman.
So I calculated that if I wrote a recap for every episode, I would become the editor. But that would be a very difficult task. I wrote some anyway, and studog made me trusted. She sent me very friendly PMs and helped me become the editor by telling me I could rewrite summaries since they were copied from another site. So I did, and now I'm the editor.
So, some good things came out of this. I know now that studog is not a malevolent person, and the guide is in much better shape than it would have been if I had gotten it with 81 points. And it will now be hard to overpass my points.
If only someone would contribute something.

Trusted
by borisbalinkoff on Comments
Well, it seems tv.com has a new bug. I just posted this but it never came up.
I became a Trusted Contributor for the first time today, thanks to studog. I plan to do great things now that I don't have to wait for approval.

Halloween
by borisbalinkoff on Comments
I have now written reviews and recaps for the Halloween shows I own that are listed on tv.com. In the past, I have made contributions for holiday episodes, but I think reviews and recaps are a little more satisfying to write. I will continue to do this through the holidays. I hope I get more Halloween shows by the time it gets here.
What's with that stupid rule that topic titles can't all be in caps? I did that ON PURPOSE.

A lazy user
by borisbalinkoff on Comments
Well, I have been a user for more than a year now, and this is my first blog and I'm only on level 10. I am a lazy user. Sometimes I feel like I'm too obsessed with TV shows--but then I come on here and realize I'm not! I guess that's both good and bad. I waste too much time online. I have been making more contributions lately. I did finally write a "description" of myself a week or so ago, as well as a forum signature.
I now have two people tracking me--I can't decide if I should make them friends or not.
I'm also thinking about writing some reviews, but I really need to spend time doing homework and other legitimate things.
Last night I had a dream that I had been moderated, but I couldn't figure out why! I'm kind of paranoid that someone might think I'm gaming, which I'm not. Considering my laziness, I doubt I'll be accused of that.
So, yeah. I really ought to be productive.
