You have entered
The Maintenance Shed
These lists will be as much for me as they are for you. This will be where you can check for: - What I'm working on currently.
- Things on my To-Do list.
- Site Updates that have been added. (expect these to be vague sometimes lol)
Note: Checking here will be the fastest way to see if there is new content to go exploring for! Since the Manor will be full of mystery, people who visit regularly should appreciate a fast way to check to see if there's something new to discover. The Maintenance Shed would be it!! *Most Recent additions to the site will be at the very bottom of this page* Currently Working On:- click HERE to show an archived list of past progress:
- 3-10-12
Finally got the Games section set up - at least at its most basic level. More work needs to get done on the site before I can go any further with that. (There are plans for the "Hallway Ninja!" category next, but some stuff needs to get set up for that first.)
- 3-11-12
I think I'll just be doing some quiet tinkering around with site graphics for a while. I really need to get the background more customized before I can design any content for the pages, otherwise it'll be really hard to know how the graphics are *really gonna look! Be forewarned, I'm planning a lot of black! It may seem really dark to you at first, but my hope is that it will make colors and images really stand out all that much more! We'll see! Can't know until I start tinkerin'!  Things are gonna start really changing around here now ^^  ... (well... "now" as in "next" *cough* tweaking the main site theme will take a while since it's been a REALLY long time since I messed around with CSS code. lol)
- 3-13-12
Still messing with the site graphics. hehe! Showing signs of improvement I think, but it will take a while. I'm not rushing. So if you don't hear from me for a while, you know what I'm up to. ^^
- 3-14-12
YAY! Finally got most of the site theme re-done now. I still have to do the main wooden frame for the site logo, and a couple buttons are being squirrely still. But I'm a very happy Caretaker today.  The problem is being patient. haha! I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I'm pleased with how it's coming along!
- 3-27-12
I've had to put this site project on hold for a little bit. Getting help via forumotion is starting to look.... meh. So I'm just gonna sit back for a while. (Depending on your browser, some of you may experience a disjointed "main page" ... that would be a residual from lack of customer support.)
- 8-28-12This site has been closed and abandoned for a long time now. I hated to walk away from this project because it really was fun. I'm CONSIDERING picking it back up and getting back into tinkering with things some more. But the site is complex and does require a devotion to maintenance as it is so interactive. I'm not sure I'm quite up for it. But we'll see.
- 9-14-12 I've been a bit of everywhere since I returned to Muddle Manor. I've added many images and expanded the estate quite a lot. Just today, in fact, I created a whole new "sister site" where people can chat and even become a "Muddle Member" by joining "The Caretaker's Home" site. Right now I'm actually expanding the estate again in order to work the new link into the "storyline." But I'm a little rusty (caretaking here is a bit tricky lol) so I'm being careful where and how I expand. Should be a new area to explore soon, though. ^^
- 9-17-12 Thought I would post a little update. Real life stole away several hours of my Caretaking time lately. But I am definitely getting some good progress made on the new area! If my schedule cooperates, I hope to be able to link the new expansion into Muddle Manor soon! (fingers crossed for it happening today!) *Edit : Done and implemented! (Still a bit unfinished like everything around here, but it should do the trick.)
- 9-29-12 Sorry for the lack of updates recently, folks. I have been working with a few of my friends to get organized behind the scenes over at "The Caretaker's Home" website. We have a few of our own functional issues to get sorted out over there. But once we get all set up for collaboration over there, things over here will start moving again. As always, Muddle Manor is a very slow work in progress. ^^
- 6-2-13 Just came back to jiggle the locks and check to be sure some unfortunate sould hadn't wandered in, tried to play a game, faced complete silence in the Great Abandon that Muddle Manor becomes occasionally, and had to leave without confirmation.
 Sometimes I wish I could set Muddle Manor in a permanent "Under Maintenance" setting. (for real, not the fake "Under Construction" entrance to the Estate. haha!) Time permitting, I'd like to come tinker around & get some more areas built soon. But Time is not permitting yet. If you're reading this, thank you for checking The Maintenance Shed
To Do List:
- pretty much everything lmao!
- completely re-do the main site banner, avatars, and signatures (right now they're all temporary ones made in 5 minutes - gross!)
- completely re-do the site's background and color themes (this is almost done now)
- I need to go back in and edit some of the text in some pages now that I've made progress. Those pages are now out-dated. But I can't stop to go in and edit them yet.
- I will need to post a more official list of rules at some point
- way WAY in the future I plan to make all custom buttons and icons
- create an unfathomable amount of images
- (added on 8-28-12) Need to try to get that front page fixed somehow >.<
