Hello and Welcome to..
Melon's Blog :D Which is formally known as Melon's Personal Site or MPS for short. Now it has a new name :3 I decided to make a blog, 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 a blog in the first place is 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 recently, one that makes it hard to announce to the visitors (especially when there's more than a little to explain). Instead of announcing upcoming site updates in a blog, the Updated Site Status will say 'Update Coming Soon' instead by which site will have one. 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, MB will also be 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.
Spat and Harmony Heartbreak: Updated on April 2023 Legendary Birds: Updated on Oct 2024 Melon's Island: Updated on Aug 2024
Blog Entries
Edit 8/15/24: Some entries (the first five) have been moved to another page. Click the page for more details.
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.
