| − | Thanks everyone for you positive response to last Friday's H-Vision. I know the sound wasn't loud enough (this was the first week I didn't do sound), but I've talked to the lady in charge of that. It should be better next week. Speaking of next week, I'm anchoring again...so be sure to pay attention. Plus, I've got Sophomore homeroom photos video up. Unfortuntly, I don't know if I can post it online for privacy issues.

| − | Sorry, again, for the drought of updates to my site. I went about a month without making major changes and additions. I added 2 photo collections from my trip to [[wp:Germany|Germany]] and worked a bit around the web. The new skin hit some road blocks and the project is postponed. If any CSS wizards can get the "NavLinks" div to display to the left of the logo on [http://beta.theplaz.com my beta site.] The dropdowns still don't work in Internet Explorer, just get [http://getfirefox.com Firefox], and get yourself a better, safer browser. I am most likely not going to scan all my papers from my [[9th Grade]] binders. I might still add some more pictures from my trip, especially my excursions to [[wp:Paris|Paris]] and [[wp:Berlin|Berlin]].

I am getting my papers together, and getting ready to go back. My [[Image:10th Grade Schedule.xls|10th Grade Schedule]] is now up online. And don't worry, I will be posting all the info right here at '''ThePlaz.com'''

| − | Sorry for the drought of updates to my site. I went about 2 months without making a change. Sorry. When school let out I worked on the site technically, adding the dropdowns (Now working in [http://getfirefox.com Firefox], still not working (yet) on Internet Explorer) After that I went to [[wp:Germany|Germany]] for 5 weeks on vacation, and there was no internet access for most of the time I was there. Plus there were lots of other things that I was involved in. I just got back a few days ago, and I updated the site to MediaWiki 1.7.1 today.

| | | | |
| − | Don't worry, I haven forgotten about the new skin. Check out [http://beta.theplaz.com my beta site] to see how it is coming along. I don't know if I will scan all my papers from my [[9th Grade]] binders. I might decide not to do all that. I might also decide to add some pictures from my trip, especially my excursions to [[wp:Paris|Paris]] and [[wp:Berlin|Berlin]]. I am also planning to add some to [[wp:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]. I already put up lots of photos already of the German [[wp:Reichstag (building)|Reichstag]] in Berlin to the [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reichstag Wikimedia Commons].

| − | ==6/14/2006 End of the Year! Update== | + | ===8/5/2006 Update=== |
| − | What a great year it has been. It was my first year in [[HHS|high school]], and I was busy adjusting to that. I really grew as a person, and found out more about my role and position in life. This was also the year I launched my website, 4 months ago now, I guess! To all of my friends and peers at school, THANK YOU. And a special thank you to those who helped me work on group projects, and had their work posted here, an even bigger THANK YOU. Even though I might not have always listened to your suggestions, you made me realize that I must do so in the future.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | So, as I go now to study for my [[IAG 2H|Math]] final, I want to leave you with what I will be working on over the summer. I am going away for a month to visit my family, but I will still have time to work on this site. I will finally add those drop-down menus at the top of the page I have been working on for months. My more ambitious plan is to totally re-work the "skin" or look of the site, making it more whimsical, with rounded edges (in [http://www.firefox.com Firefox]) and Nuvola icons. Something like what the [[Main Page]] currently looks like. I also plan on increasing traffic to my site. Thank you to everyone who helped me. --[[User:ThePlaz|Plaz]] 19:11, 14 June 2006 (EDT)
