Add your site address (or site name, or your own name) to each file you offer for download on your website. It makes things so much easier for the user to credit you if they use something, or to find your website again in the future. :)

Some examples:

1. pausedlife.com_emoticons-brussel-sprouts.zip

2. PL_subeta-theme-field-allergies.htm

3. JoannaFae_header-toothy-smile.gif

Note: the above files are just examples; they don’t actually exist. For the time being at least. :)

    Joanna! :D
    That’s a good idea to do. I don’t think that any of the files on my site have my name on it…
    Love Spell, I remember that site, I used to visit it to see if she made any updates but after a while I stopped going. I just checked it out and the new wallpapers are kawaii! :P
    By the way, in case you haven’t check, I sent my reply to your email :)

    Hm, that’s a nifty tip.

    I have so many fonts and emoticons downloaded from a long time ago, but I’m afraid to use them b/c I don’t know the owner/creator. Adding some sort of link back or name would be useful.

    I’ll be doing that to my emoticons now, hehe.

    Thank you Jo! That really made my day <3 I'm sick of just backing down. But I still have to work on it because my voice gets all wobbly so i'll practice in front of a mirror ;)
    After I found out that you could do it using Fantastico, i deleted all the files I uploaded and installed it again 'the easy way' haha
    And about the post comment section, sorry about that!
    I forgot that in some computers their monitors are brighter i guess. It's fine in mine though.
    I'll go change that :)
    Are link exchanges same as affies? Because you can apply for apply :D

    That sounds like a nice tip Jo :) I might do that if I ever give downloadables to visitors :)
    By the way, for the kitty friends pixel club, I have a new kitty: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/4826/muffin.gif
    My old kitty didn’t look very good, lol. If you want to, you can keep my her too ;) Thank you!

    I do it for my Smiley Sets… I might start doing it for other things also, because it is true, a lot easier to remember…
    lol

    Thanks for the tip! :D

    Thanks for the comment. I’m feeling much better now and things are looking up again, I’m glad :)
    Btw, that’s a good idea with adding your site name to downloadable files! I never would have thought of that lol.

    That’s definitely a good idea. :D

    By the way, I’ve gotten a domain, so could you please change my link exchange URL to http://www.lovesnuggles.com? Thanks so much. :)

    Yeah, I agree that that’s probably a good idea. :)

    Here the temperature’s 32°C, but it’s boiling hot because of high humidity levels… :(
    Networking page huh? I guess I should! I don’t have many accounts now because I deleted quite a few, namely bebo, friendster, xanga… but I still have facebook, twitter, tumblr, blogspot etc! XD

    LOL ! Arly doesn’t bully-bother me. It’s just that he used to hit on me and he asked me out, but I didn’t really want to hurt his feelings by saying ‘no’ outright so I kinda eased him into the ‘no’. Now he thinks I’m being hostile, so he tries to get even closer, which makes him what we call ‘Sticky’. I just wanted him to ‘unstick’ and cool down, but he just won’t… maybe I’m just ultra-insensitive but that’s me… :S

    Aw, thanks! To a lot of classmates at school, I’m very boring. I don’t dress ‘designer’ often and I actually dress tomboy. It’s more comfortable, lol! I dress for comfort, not appeal… :) And you’re always so sweet, Jo! ^w^ I really love that about you!

    Thanks, and I hope I do survive all the sports that I have to train for. The heat is killer, and it’s even worse when I have to cook Sunday dinner! The kitchen makes me sweat so much, even my shirt stinks! And I was wearing my *undershirt* underneath too! :/

    Have a great day wherever you are, hope you survive the heat there too! :D

    Actually, it feels very, very weird, because I’m still tempted to type my old URL in every URL box. I also keep having to look back at my site title to remember what my URL even is… lol. But once I get over that, I think it will be pretty cool. :)

    I like the layout overall, but instead of that little layout pixel (which isn’t even mine), I feel like I need to have a large site name graphic at the top. I don’t know how well that would work in the current layout, and that’s why I might do a new one.

    Oh, and a lot of people have told me they love my background, so once I’m not using it anymore, I’m putting it up for taking. ;)

    Hehe sorry for making you spit out your cookie, and thanks for laughing at my “joke” :P You’re so sweet, Jo! Thanks for all the compliments :D Love ya!
    May your day be filled with eyeball rolling laughter! :D haha
