Melon's Blog

Hello and Welcome to..

Melon's Blog :D MB as a short way of saying it. Which is formally known as Melon's Personal Site or MPS for short. I decided to make this a site that focuses on blogs (unlike MPS), plus make a home for most of my stories that where on Melon's Stories, the mini site that used to connect with MPS. Not only is this site a place to make my stories still read-able but I decided to make it into a blog in the first place so that I can add any announcements that I'd like to make or need to make (when a problem happens) since Legendary Birds had an issue back in June 2025, one that made it hard to announce to the visitors (especially when there's more than a little to explain). Upcoming site updates used to be announced in a blog but that changed to having "Update Coming Soon" by the site that was going to be updated soon in the Update Site Status section below. This started to take effect on 6/1/21 as an edit in the "LB, MI & SHH are Down.. (Fixed)" blog entry. Because of this, like MPS, Melon's Blog is also connecting to my active sites.

Note that some of the updates on MB's account include work that may not involve the site. Which involves work with my other sites and other things. Though with every edit that I make, Neocities counts it as updating the site but that only has to do with the account being involved.

Updated Site Status
What is this? This little list tells the viewers on which site/s have been updated recently and if they aren't, tells when the site was last updated. ~~And when an update is coming soon.~~ Since I keep forgetting to actually update this list to include many coming soon updates before actually making the update. I'm not going to bother with it anymore. I might have done it a few times though but it's duration was short.. unlike the latest updates. I have a better time editing the list and it's able to stay longer. The paragraph has been updated on 7/13/25

Spat and Harmony Heartbreak: Updated on March 2025
Legendary Birds: Updated on Oct 2025
Melon's Island: Updated on July 2025

Wolf Hamster Update!

Sunday - Dec 14, 2025

This update sadly had to be delayed as I ended up being very sick since the 6th and definitely couldn't finish the update. I'm feeling better now but I'm not completely better yet. I am getting there though. Wow, it's been almost a year since my last update :o I've been working on updating my other sites and this site is the last one to do so. Melon's Blog might be updated only once a year like the others o.o At least for this year as I'll need more time to add the next one and by that time it'll be 2026 D: Not sure if it'll be only one update next year or not. We'll see. Now on to the updates :D Which I mostly worked on back in Nov 30th and added the last update that's mentioned on that day as well.

Wolf Hamster: It took years to complete it and one day to add it to the site (which I did on 11/29/25) but the images of the characters that are in the remake are here :D *throws confetti to celebrate* I drew them with my beloved tablet <3 There's only five characters for now but more are on the way. I'm planning on adding their profiles (pics and info) at the same time as the next chapter, which has been already completed but I have much work to do on the characters part (especially drawing them). Let's see if I can do this with Wolf Hamster, like how I can with Melon's Adventures. Along with adding the characters, I also updated that first paragraph about how they are done and how they are made. With that done, I removed that sentence about how they aren't around and apologized. There's also a 3rd thing that I added; Sprites! that have been made for years both the original and the remake, along with some info about them that I added not long ago.
MB's History: Added the previous layout's link and summary. I also made an edit in the sentence that's at the top of that page.
Random Stuff: For Current/Past Pokemon Parties > Scarlet; Updated the rest of the party Pokemon levels to 100 and added another note below (the one that is the longest). I also edited that section's first paragraph and added quick links to all but one section as it isn't needed for all of them.
Current/Past Pokemon Parties: Go to Random Stuff > Current/Past Pokemon Parties first paragraph to get to it. For Y; Since I played the Looker Detective Agency arc of the game, I added a summary about playing it and how all of my Pokemon's levels went up to 72 (just one number more) while playing that arc.
My Sites: Did a lot of updating here as I made an online copy of Penguin HQ on Neocities, that went offline when it's now old host shutdown and now it's back in the "Open & Inactive" section. So now the section that I called "Closed (due to host)" has been removed as it's no longer needed. I also added some more info on PHQ's last paragraph that I made in Aug 2024 to "Open & Inactive" too. I also removed a lot of now outdated edits that I did from the now previous edit (Aug 2024) and didn't make an annoucement of it in an actual update on Home; Removed the * symbols that ment that it was an update that appeared on the sides of each one, removed the slash that was on the link to Penguin HQ as it's link is no longer broken as it used to have it's old address but has now been replaced by the new one, and I removed; *: Update that used to be on the sides of where there was an update besides the slashing. In the "Passed Away & Closed" section I added Madagascar Penguins; as I surprisingly made a discovery while I was in the progress with putting PHQ on Neocities :O
Home: I updated "Guide to Byethost (Updated Again)" back on the 1st of December. There's more info on what I updated in the latest edit other than the fact that I added "Again" in the entries' title. That blog entry can now be found on Past Blogs. The welcome summary was outdated so I changed it to not make it sound recent and not past tense. Which was probably around since the start of Melon's Blog, other than adding some info in later on.
Helios/Pegasus Shrine: I made an update last year in December.. and didn't announce it until now (oh wells). Apparently the update that I did in April in that same year was not it's last XD I'm more sure that the latest one is but I'm not 100% sure.
Lucifer Shrine: I also made an update for this shrine in December of 2024 as well o.o also in May of this year. And it was a big one! At least I also did that for an update with MB even though it's a shrine it's still part of this site. I think I'm gonna quite announcing updates to the shrines on here.

Revamped Layout

Wednesday - Dec 18, 2024

Some time after the lastest update I got tired of how the navigation can overlay the content in screens that are smaller than my desktop's as I have a very wide one. This actually started with the 2nd layout x.x I wanted the navi to be scroll-able to make the height of it lower and wanted it to be a fixed position so one wouldn't have to scroll back up just to get to a page. But with the content using tables the navi ended up covering some of it. I went through a few methods (or more) in order to get it the way I want without it overlaying and at last.. I finally did it! :D I I think the visitors could have had an issue with seeing what was in the content on the old layouts as upon seeing it on my laptop it might've covered it D: Upon moving from a laptop to a desktop that problem occured. That problem was around for years since I didn't think it was a problem with visitors back then ^^;/was planning on getting a screen with less width but changed my mind years later. Using tables for the content is no more now but during those times some of the pages used more than one for each section these are those pages (which I typed down to know that those pages where like that so I won't forget); Home, Wolf Hamster, Penny: Winged Hamster, & Icy's Nightmare. Home had a space between "Hello and Welcome to.." and "Blog Entries". WH had a space after the "Wolf Hamster Bonus (Original Only)" section and before the characters from the remake (so they where between each other), another space between it's chapters from the remake, & yet another space between the characters & chapters. That makes 5 tables as that story has two versions. For Penny: Winged Ham it had a space after "The Past and Present of The Story" section that was between that and the characters & another space that was there before chapters. Icy's Nightmare had a space after "Hidden Bonus" that was between that and the characters & then one more before the chapters, being between the characters and the chapters. So the pages both have three tables. I did that since it was neat to see the gradient background in between each table :) but that couldn't be done with this revamped layout.. But I'm pleased to announce, even though it might be obvious.. I have finally added a banner to MB!! ^o^ Yay, Penny! It's very different from my usual ones since it's an image with a transparent background and had to make it very small to fit it well but I'm pleased with the results :3 That image marks the first time I added something online that I colored in on my computer tablet! But it's actually the fourth one I ever did. My idea of how to color it in changed upon getting a tablet ^^ I couldn't get the site's title and Neocities profile link to stay in the center but oh well. I also add sections to the navi since it got big enough and thought of good ideas for what each section will be called, Penny head sprites where added to the section's headers as well ^-^ Because of adding sections I added a line between the last page and the start of my other sites so there won't be any confusion.

Webs' Shutdown

Wednesday - Dec 18, 2024

This is a very late announcement (as this whole thing happened last year; 2023) but it's here for anyone who is left in the dark and wants answers as to what happened to Webs. As the title says, it indeed shutdown and so sites that are hosted by Webs (formally known as Freewebs) are sadly gone. And this entry also connects to one of my sites; "Spat & Harmony Heartbreak" and partly with another site of mine "Legendary Birds". Two of SHH's affiliates are gone as this includes sites that now where affiliated with it that are "Sunflower Garden" & "Ham-Ham Island". Though as of typing this in I haven't moved them to the passed away section in the Affiliates page and they are still on every page, along with a non-dead site; "Ham-Ham Paradise". Also one of LB's affiliates had to change it's host before I readded it (as it used to not be an affiliate for years), "Stareon's Hideout" used to also be hosted by Webs before it's move to Neocities. As for as I know Webs has sent me an e-mail about it's shutdown on March 24, 2021 saying how Vistaprint (a printing site) helped them out as Webs' actually did have some Vista stuff on it's site as I remember but then the Webs' stuff ended up being done and now Vistaprint only exists. Here's that e-mail;

Important Update Regarding Webs (2nd Notice)

Hello,
First, thanks for choosing Webs to create your website. It's been a pleasure to host your website and millions of others since we started our journey back in 2001. In late 2011, Webs was acquired by Vistaprint, a company which specializes in customized marketing solutions for small businesses. During this transition, we launched a new website builder under the Vistaprint brand. This builder provides a more modern and easy-to-use experience.
We have been maintaining website subscriptions under both Webs and Vistaprint for a while, but it is time to bring all our customers to the Vistaprint brand. This means we will be retiring Webs on June 30, 2021. With this change comes some important information you should be aware of:

If you have a free Webs site:
We originally communicated that you would no longer be able to edit or view the published version of your free website hosted with Webs as of March 31, 2021. This date has been extended to June 30, 2021 to give you more time to prepare. We are sorry for the inconvenience to you, and would love to continue serving you as our customer under the Vistaprint brand, where our packages start at just $5 per month. We also offer design services to move your site to Vistaprint or create a brand new site for you. We also expect to launch new and exciting Vistaprint website offerings in the future, which we will share more information about when they become available.

Thank you again for using Webs.com for all these years. We are excited to share Vistaprint Digital with you.
All the best,
The Webs Team

That 'shut down' didn't happen and that e-mail was actually the 2nd one about the shutdown so I must've deleted the 1st one. But from this site (Melon's Blog), it used to be hosted by Webs at first but this was cut short due to the 'announcement' about it going down so I moved it to Neocities on this past entry; "Third Entry: Moved" as I wouldn't be able to view or edit my sites on March 31st which was easy to move as it was just the beginning for MB but for my other sites took a long time D:, especially SHH as it almost took a year to move everything to Byethost (it's not Byehost like I thought it was) o.o Well, even if Webs' never kicked the bucket they removed Server Side Includes so the layout was sadly only on the home page of my sites (SHH, LB & Melon's Island) and so the navigation was also only on the home page -.- Which I noticed back in 2017 in the beginning of May according to a past update entry on MI so all of those sites where moved to Byet in 2018 for MI and 2019 for LB & SHH. To think that Webs was actually going to be no more in the future :O but I really didn't like the idea with SSI not being supported by them anymore, which just gives me more work to do and that could bring unactive-ness to at least one site if not more.. Now Byet isn't the best host but at least SSI can keep going on there (though I've been using a php version of it as all of the pages have to be in php format) and even though site making might be slower than usual I'm still able to do what I enjoy doing. So the shut down never came but I ended up getting another e-mail about it on July 25th, 2023 about how 'changes' are happening to my Webs account soon (more like accounts lol with needing to make an account for each site) as they made the decision to shut down Webs' operations and how they tried to move my website to another builder but were unfortunately unable to do so due to unexpected technical limitations. So as such I must move my website to another provider by August 31st, 2023, as it will cease to exist as said in the e-mail o-o. And this time it looks like it really happened but I didn't notice this until September but I remember being paranoid about the fate of two dead sites of mine; Melon's Island (old version) and Penguin HQ but thanks to the "Way Back Machine" and actually being able to get my flash drive getting to work that has PHQ's files on it as it wasn't working for a while, they managed to survive. So I almost lost that part of my site making history.

I later on found out that my sites couldn't be moved to their 'wonderful' Vista because all but one of them have been built and updated with html & css and not with a website builder as they call it but even old MI couldn't :/ for some odd reason as it's the only one that has one of their templates that I used as a layout and was built and updated with Webs' site builder.. and then there's the fact that how could one move a site from Webs to Vistaprint when one needs an e-mail address in order to login and not a username, which would be for example; "melonisland" as in "melonisland.webs.com". Sure one could use the e-mail address of the site that is linked to a Webs account but what if one lost that address. That could be why there was no sign of even old MI to be moved as it might've used an e-mail that I deleted many years ago with how old the site is, so I'm not sure if I had an active one or not. If it wasn't an inactive e-mail address then I'm not sure why it couldn't but I can't say that they won't change anything upon being moved to Vista. I mean back in the day of old SHH, Freewebs (back when Webs was called that) got this upgraded version of it's site builder which has to be used when making/updating a non-html mode site, making updating difficult for me. With it being too much of an issue with the site builder, I closed SHH for a while (along with old MI), thinking that I'll never be able to update even one site without a big problem and that was before the two sites got to be in html mode, being able to have current versions of themselves. So I'm in a fog about if it actually was possible to move a Webs hosted site to Vistaprint like they say they can and I don't even want to explore on how they make sites as they want $5 a month for hosting one and it's probably for each site so three sites would add up to $15 for me and there would be taxes and maybe even a stupid fee. I say a host like that isn't worth it but it's your choice.

A note that goes with this entry: When I go to these links that are from the old MI.. Despair & Melon's Island (Old version) they take me to this link; Vistaprint, Webs' Shutdown but that's not the case with sites that have this address for example; torahamu-chan.webs.com that is one of SHH's dead affiliates.. SG. But with HHI, another dead affiliate actually has webs.com address on every page but on SHH's affiliates page it's freewebs.com/ham-ham-island/ so it had freewebs.com at first but changed it later on, I just forgot to update that page but maybe both address took one to the same site. So despite both of them being made and updated in Web's site builder it didn't allow the move to Vista. I guess they expected the owners to move them before Webs' shutdown and if they couldn't before then I guess Webs was like "Oh well, it's their loss." -.- I already replaced the image link for Despair (and for Melody, I just don't think it's necessary to add in the old link on here as it's similar to Despair's) in MI; Timeline but I kept the old Despair one for the sake of this entry.

The Penny Layout!

Thursday - Aug 15, 2024

I didn't mean to make the hiatus that long o-o but at least I got to open the site back up before it became a year since it's hiatus ^^; But.. yay a new layout that isn't eye hurting! :D At least I don't see why this one would be since I think at least the content part on the previous layout was. I decided to go with the same theme that the hiatus page was using. I happily got my desktop back with all of my stuff intact; documents, pictures, etc.! I really thought I was going to lose at least some of it.. and it actually got an upgrade from Windows 7 to 10. It took months to get used to 10 since I've been with 7 for many years. First on my 2nd laptop and then on the desktop until that blue screen error happened and it took time for it to get fixed. Even though I had a hopefully non eye hurting version of the previous layout, I decided to use this one. Why? Well, using the red and orange theme for the first three layouts was like a Melon (my story character that is from Melon's Adventures and Melon's Island is it's site) thing as I did that on a "Melon's Personal Site" layout back in the day but I wanted to go with the blue and white theme since it's based on Penny and Melon already stars on MI so I thought Penny can be the star of Melon's Blog or just having a big focus on her. Her story; Penny: The Winged Hamster is on MB after all so it makes sense. Note that the following pages have already been updated for months as I worked on this update here and there but it didn't get announced until today.

New Layout! It's Penny styled :) (I'll try to add a banner this time ^^;) I also changed the buttons for my other sites that are in the navi in order to match the layout.
The colors of the tables have changed in order to match the layout and incase the colors where also eye hurting. This has been done on these pages; Wolf Hamster, Penny: Winged Hamster, Icy's Nightmare, Random Stuff In "Current/Past Pokemon Parties" (on it's 2nd page as well since most of them are on there now).
Home: Moved some of the old entries to a new page so there's less on Home now as I was having some slowness problems while updating because of how large it used to be as I had to use my laptop while my desktop was being repaired. This problem might not exist to me anymore but for anyone who had that issue, it shouldn't be a problem now :) The navigation has also been updated by replacing the hosted by Neocities button with a small version of the image that the host gives out, I also added; On Neocities since Jan 4, 2021 and replaced 2023 with 2024 as the end date of it being online
My Sites: Added a new paragraph at the top in an edit. I put a slash through some old info since Penguin HQ went down when Webs (it's host) went down.. I do have it archived though. The old MI went down with Webs as well so I made a paragraph about that in "Open & Inactive". I removed PHQ and added it in a new section; Closed (due to host).
Random Stuff: In "Toybox" I made these updates; Updated Stareon Hideout's link since it had to move because of Webs' shutdown. And added many new adopts; Animal Crossing ones from pixel friends, Mew Heart ( (that was recreated by a fan), & Mew Heart (Engish version that can only be accessed through the Way Back Machine since it's dead). Due to broken images I hid the Autumn's Grace adopts. In "Current/Past Pokemon Parties" that has mostly been updated for months but have their update announced date instead, I made a lot of updates. Including moving some game info onto another page like I did with the update entries on Home. The reason why I did that is the same reason why I moved the updates on that page.
MB's History: Added the previous layout, which is titled "3rd Layout" along with a summary and a link to the layout. I also added a small but important note about the layouts at the top of the page.
Extras: Updated all three sections in "Extras" with updated info and added a small addition in the top paragraph.
Helios/Pegasus Shrine: I finally updated it back in April which I think it'll be it's last one. It was suppose to be a shrine instead of a mini site but I over did it with adding stuff so it's an update that wraps it up so I believe it's finished. It is my first shrine after all. I don't plan to make the Lucifer one that big at all (or any future shrines) but I plan on making an update for that one too as I have some more to add.

Edit 9/1/24: Thanks to a fellow visitor I found out that the navigation was gone. Though I thought she meant the navi on Melon's Island but when I decided to go to this site I found out that it was this site that had that problem so I fixed it and now it can be seen but I sadly had to do it normally by putting it on every single page.. just like my old days of website making as for some reason I'm unable to add it with js & jquery O.o The last time I checked MB it was working.. I kept trying but nothing is working :/

EDIT: Another Update for MB

Tuesday - Nov 8, 2022

Monday - April 24, 2023: I decided to try editing this entry in order to add an update for today. Though a few updates that weren't announced where added back in February, I think o.o since I thought I was gonna add more later on but I forgot about it ^^; so even though it's April now and I made more updates (including a big amount that was hidden for months) today it's time to announce the ones that were added to Melon's Blog and the ones that didn't get added to MB.

Random Stuff: A complete revamp of my Current/Past Pokemon Parties and I included two more games; Let's GO Pikachu! and Scarlet. I also added two more paragraphs (one that's connected to the old one), added some notes that connects to the revamped parties, added quick links for each generation, and added a new note that's at the bottom of that section since I added the same Pokes to parties multiple times. Add a new section; Stamp Collection. Added two new additions to Toybox that are from Stareon's Hideout (the adoptables are linked to that site). Added GIF Collection in a new page and is being shown on Random Stuff through an iframe, just like with Stamp Collection since it took some time to load all of them.
Wolf Hamster: Recolored the Symbol Guides for both versions (since the new tables that make up my Pokemon parties are better looking). For the characters in the remake, I removed Height from everyone's profile and removed Crush from Skyler's and The Hunter's since I plan for them to not have one and it might stay that way. But I added new info; Home, Relatives, First Appearance, and Appears In (note that not everyone's gonna have info for these and not all of them are gonna appear). I added a note on how I won't include birthdays for the characters in the remake that's at the top of the characters section. I also added a new character; Benjamin since Chapter 5 is up, along with Ch 4. Both chapters are in one page and with these chapters added I add some info about each one, just like I did with Ch 1 - 3. As a bonus, I'll tell you that Ch 6 is done or almost done (it depends on if I want to add some of it to Ch 7 or not) and features three new characters :D
Penny: Winged Hamster: Just like with Wolf Hamster, I recolored the Symbol Guides for both versions and I also did it for the same reason. I also removed 'image coming soon' image and replaced it with Sorry, this profile image is not available.
Icy's Nightmare: Just like with my other two stories, I recolored the Symbol Guides for both versions and I also did it for the same reason. Just like with Penny: Winged Hamster, I also removed 'image coming soon' image and replaced it with Sorry, this profile image is not available.
Replaced old 'hosted by Neocities' button with a new one that's in the navigation. I also added that in progress shrine that I talked about on the last update, which is.. Lucifer (the TV show, haha)! Just like with my first shrine it's also not complete. Until I complete the ones that are already up, I'll create one of those two other shrines that I plan on making since I rather do that.

--------------------------------------------------------

Which is the last one for this year. I actually added most of the updates 4 days ago (the 5th) and the rest where added today. Didn't want to make an annoucement on the 5th since I wasn't done with this update until today.

Added an account editing notice to this page, that's above Updated Site Status.
*Added the Symbol Guide in a table for Penny: Winged Hamster.
*On Wolf Hamster I also added the Symbol Guide in a table for the original.
Added a GIF Collection, quick links to the sections, two new sets of adopts to Toybox, 4 new adopts to an existing set (in the past I've actually updated that section without mentioning what I updated but at least I'm annoucing the latest additions) in Random Stuff.
Added my Neocities profile link that's in a new area that's above the navi.
Updated LB and MI sections in Extras, added more in LB though since I added some new things that deals with the Legendary Birds came/was annouced this month and last month
My first shrine is added to the navigation; Helios/Pegasus Shrine. He's a character from Sailor Moon and appears in the manga and in the anime (also appeared in an app game called Sailor Moon Drops but that was removed and I never got to play it D: I tried looking for it so I could play it but couldn't find it..). I created it last year in October and it's gotten too big to be a shrine (or it can be a big shrine XD). Another shrine is also in progress and I have plans for two more.

*Even though I called it Symbol Guide, it actually used to be called Symbol Menu but guide sounds better.

This entry is very small so I might add more updates here as an edit when MB gets updated again.

Melon's Island is on Hold & MB Update

Monday - June 6, 2022

Melon's Island is on Hold, MI is sadly on hold at the moment with updates since I'm planning to add a new layout on the next update and in order to add it I need to draw a banner and a splash image for it but when Adobe Flash Player went down last year (2021), my ability to use my scanner to scan drawings and then color them in Photoshop went down with it. You see my scanner is old and needs Flash Player and then I found out from someone that I know that tried helping me with this problem is the fact that my old laptop is holding me back from using Flash Player in a sneaky way. At first I thought that I needed to buy a new scanner but then there's the fact that what if the scanners that around today are too improved for an old computer.. According to him the only way to solve this is to buy a desktop. I have everything that I need to have one except for a screen. This is actually going to be a desktop that is built buy that someone, he can make computers by using tvs as screens, it's amazing *o* I'm having trouble getting a tv size that I'm good with and it's going to be at least a while until I find the right one. Until that problem is solved ~~and I get that banner and splash completed~~ there will sadly be no more updates. I could add other stuff than the layout but I don't like the idea of doing that right now :S Though if updating MI takes too long I'll get to it but it'll only be one more for the current layout.

For more news on MI, I actually got back into working on Ch 14 after much time of having writer's block since I realized that I ended up having many characters in one chapter and typed about their movements and added their lines in, instead of having that for some of the characters but I'm happily making progress with it and as I type this in (5/31) I may even be done with it since it's getting too big and might have it as big as Ch 10 or less. At this time, I'm not sure. Other than writer's block I've also been having a big or almost big life issues that are personal and rather not discuss online. Along with Ch 14, a new page is going to appear that is about those unknown characters with glowing green eyes in the current chapter (Ch 13) and there's more updates that I can add as well and I'd like to improve the tables that make up the list of characters and maybe even the page of each char since the coding is old compared to what I used on LB's picture galleries that at least might be good enough, if I don't get that worked on for the next update then it'll be at some point. I didn't want this entry to be short so I ended up typing in more XD Well for those who have been read this far will know more upcoming stuff for the site and the story that's focused on a colorful heroic birdy :D

MB Update

Now for the update since this isn't as big as the last one. I added five pages to the navigation; My Sites, MB's History, Random Stuff, Extras and Neko. Though before I found a way to update the navi by just updating one page I was going to combine My Sites and MB's History, this came before the other three pages where created but thanks to that easy way I was able to separate them into two pages. Check out these pages for more info. As a hidden bonus for Icy's Nightmare, I added a small prologue that explains a character that never got to appear in the fan-fic; Zack. I added more of Wolf Hamster's creation on Wolf Hamster that's in the original area but has to do with both the original and the remake. That's all of the updates for now.

What Happened to Ham-Ham Heartbreak?

Since I recently added this site to SHH's Site Status in the one navigation with a note for any news to a problem or problems incase I ever have more than one but it has only been one at a time so far but if I don't know what I already know about Byehost with the issues I already went through with my sites then an unknown problem occurs. This addition was added so the visitors aren't left in the dark about any problems with SHH in the future (can't say that it'll be problem free) and I'm also gonna do this same navigation update with my other sites as well. Secretly Ham-Ham Heartbreak went offline because it had to be removed because of a certain word or words being on the page which are bad for Bye so the whole page just has to leave, having a big issue with those words or that word which isn't easy to explain on SHH since if I type in cuties for example since I know that's one of those certain words the account gets suspended and the site goes offline until the problem is fixed. So, Ham-Ham Heartbreak has been down since June of last year.. Why has it been down for that long? Because of how I don't know what the bad word is but I'm guessing it's chat because of a chatbox image header having an error and when I renamed it to cbox the error was solved. Then I decided to make a test account on Bye to see what the word/s is/are along with testing out another site of mine but because of the lack of visitors in the last 30 days or so it went down so I brought it up again but it might've went down again since the same thing occured which I couldn't help it since it's just a way to test stuff so that plan went down the drain, I tried to get it suspended but it never worked.. It's easy to get suspended by accident but on purpose it's hard. Now I'm stuck to having to actually see what the problem is on SHH itself wether it goes offline or not.. While working on the upcoming update, I'll be slowly bringing the page back by adding it part by part so expect some downtime and know that if it does go offline it's not my fault. And for secruity reasons Bye is not going to tell me what word/s caused the page to go down in the first place.. so I'm on my own with this which is why I have to test stuff.

Edit 2/5/22: Since Bye has no problem with the website section in Ham-Ham Heartbreak, and I already know that there's no problem with the first section, Storyline, & Places so it has to be one of the Ham-Chats in the big list but since it'll take a long time to pin down which word is 'bad' and to not get SHH suspended accidentally I added the list to this host on a page which is shown in an i-frame on SHH, I think it'll go well since the list is somewhere outside of Byehost.

Edit 2/9/22: It did go well :D

MB Gets an Update!

Tuesday - Nov 16, 2021

Other than getting a new layout or having to move hosts. Apparently it wasn't a big deal that I had to move MB from Webs to Neocities.. since Webs never upgraded to Vista Print and was going to stop being a free host. It's still up as the same old Webs lol. Though I had an uneasy time with updating on there. Even though Neocities doesn't have SSI either, I do have an easy time with updating. SSI would make updating MB better when making changes to the navigation and when I get a banner on here instead of having that big Melon's Blog title. Now MB gets a better update, though that new layout had to come, it was really needed. Here is a list of what I updated..

Layout: I improved the layout by making the content width bigger and making the content font bigger. Added a code that can take you to the top of the page by clicking 'Top' that is on the right side. This has been added to all pages for quick access to the top.
My Collections: New page for MB that's a page that was on MPS. I also had to add a scroll bar to the navi when adding this page.
Wolf Hamster: Added more info for Wolf Hamster: The Remake. Added it's own Character and Chapter sections. In the Remake's chapter section is a page link that has the first 3 chapters. Added a quick link to the original since the remake stuff is added. Added a small list of info that has the added dates, genres, and the rating, which is added to both versions. Added a header to 'Remake' that shows when the remake content is added.
WHR Chapters: Another new page is added, this time one that wasn't on MPS. This page has Chapter 1 - 3 of Wolf Hamster: The Remake. More info on these chapters is on Wolf Hamster.
WH Chapters: Added a new header for the chapter titles. Removed the - symbol from the sides of each chapter (Ch 1 - 9) since it doesn't look good with the new header.
WH Chapters: Page 2; Added a new header for the chapter titles. Removed the - symbol from the sides of Ch 10 since it doesn't look good with the new header.
Penny: Winged Hamster: Added a small list of info that has the added date, genres, and the rating.
P Chapters: New header added for chapter titles. Removed the * symbol from the sides of each chapter (Ch 1 - 10) since it doesn't look good with the new header.
P Chapters: Page 2; New header added for chapter titles. Removed the * symbol from the sides of each chapter (Ch 11 - 16) since it doesn't look good with the new header.
Icy's Nightmare: Added a small list of info that has the added date, genres, and the rating. Added a header to 'Trailer' that shows when the trailer is added.
IN Chapters: New header for chapter titles. Removed the ~ symbol from all chapter titles.
Navigation: Since MB has been online since 2020 I added 'Online from 2020 - 2021'. Added second chapter page for Wolf Hamster and Penny: The Winged Hamster to the navi for quick navigation.

Wow, I needed to list more updates than I thought o.o Every page got updated! :O As I said in the little paragraph about how I came back to working on Wolf Hamster as a remake, I said that "I'll add more to this section as I get close to adding it" but it's best to start adding it instead. I wasn't sure about adding it at first since I have no profile images for it. I would rather add the images and the chapters but since it's a remake of an old story, it's not that bad. Only a few things would be missing; an image of Miles, an image of Skyler that's colored, including The Hunter who also isn't colored but I made a few changes to him. Those changes are added on the description part of his profile. Since I decided to start with the first three chapters, I'm planning on adding three more at some point but that may change. Chapter 4 and 5 are done but 6 isn't.

Since I updated the layout and ended up adding a scroll bar by making the navi a div instead of a table, the layout has some new info on how to works on browsers. There are now more than a few changes in Firefox; The navigation is bigger in height. The content is pushed down futher than the navi. There's some space that's above the layout, to be more specific, above the site's title. This time there isn't a colored scroll bar (it's the same thing with the navi's scroll bar). At least it's like this from my end. The content's text looks better too, it's kind of blocky looking on Google Chrome. For Internet Explorer, the only bad thing about it is that all of the text in the content area is messed up, the headers aren't as bad but it's a little bad. Which is a minor problem. So it almost works good. Other than what I said earlier about Chrome, it still works best. On mobile the layout still isn't recommended as the navi still overlaps the conent, with the navi having a scroll bar now it does scroll by using a finger but below the top part of the border there's a thin line of transparency, even though it's suppose to be orange.. might be caused by the scroll bar since it wasn't there before. It's hard to make many layouts look good on mobile and I don't know how to use 'mobile css' (I don't know what it's real title is so I'm making something up) like other people.

Announcements

Monday - Nov 8, 2021

In the entry Accounts Suspended Again D: (Fixed) I said that I made a test account.. and apprently it's not working out well. Trying to get an account suspended on purpose is hard D: What could be stuff that might look as a bad thing with Byehost looks like there's no problem at all with the four different things that I added.. Then there's the fact that I found out through an e-mail that if I have less than five visitors in 30 days then the account gets removed within two days unless I click a link that re-activates it. I got this e-mail twice already.. I changed LB's e-mail to the same one that the test account has so MI and SHH won't get suspended as well because of LB. I don't have a third e-mail so MI and SHH will have to share and end up going down if either one has a problem that Bye just cannot get over. With what could be good news, on LB I was nervous about editing Moltres Merch since I wanted to make a few edits and editing it, I thought it would suspended LB's account but it luckly didn't :O Apparently what I did when editing it last time by typing in SittingCuties allows the plush to sneak onto the page without being banned by a small word. Now I know why they didn't have a problem with Moltres Merch last time. I'll have to add the Zapdos one like that at some point and see if I can sneak it in without being detected. Articuno also has a plush like that too x.x At least if Zappy's plush can get through, I don't see why Arti's can't too (when I add it). When cuties can be used in a innoncent way and in a naughty way.. when I say naughty I mean cuties is banned because Bye most likely looks at as a word that is used in porn.. At least that's my guess and I'm guessing adding that word makes my sites look like that. They most likely do not want to host any porn sites. But it's like they think that cuties is always used in a naughty way -.- or are being very cautious of it, too cautious if you ask me.. For SHH with how Ham-Ham Heartbreak is down, I'm guessing that the ban word is chat because of using Ham-Chat/s many times or Passchat, a Ham-Chat. Why? Cause I would have trouble when adding old image headers that say Chat-Box, I used these image headers for two of the Past Layouts and I was redoing the ones on one of those layouts and when trying to view the image it brings me to a 404 Access denied page and while viewing it on the layout that has the image added, it appears as a broken image, though renaming it or hosting it somewhere else fixes the problem.

For other news I've been working on an update for MB. Wolf Hamster: The Remake is finally going to be added, well the start of it (three chapters). But there's bad news to it and that's a lack of profile images. The first three chapters doesn't involve any characters that weren't in the original, well besides Miles (who is like the 'new Mike') and The Hunter has changed since I'm not pleased with everything that I added when I drew him. I have some characters that are drawn already but I don't have a working scanner to be able to color them in Adobe Photoshop. When Adobe Flash Player went down last year in December, so did my HP Printer, Scanner, Copier.. It seems that only flash player going on made it work the entire time (which has been years), ever since I bought it and I never realized it until after the flash player shut down when I tried to scan something D: Can't scan, can't print, and can't copy (not like I ever copied anything). Until that problem is done, I can color them in. Of course I could try taking photos of the drawings with my phone.. but it'll probably show up better if it could be scanned and they won't be in color. I'm going to be adding other stuff to this upcoming update as well but that's all I'm gonna say until it comes.
