Homestramy20|^Talk

Thank you

sorry this took a while but thank you for putting your name on my friend list your awesome

--DJM1791 ^{· (Sup | Stuff I Did!)} 01:24, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

No problem. It's fun to make friends everywhere! Homestramy20|^Talk 04:39, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Show preview

Hi Kelsey. I'm so pleased that you're contributing here at the wiki. I see that you want to be a graphic designer. I'm a graphic designer, too! I'm actually here at the printing company where I work. What software do you use? Illustrator? Photoshop? InDesign? QuarkXPress? Those are the main ones we have here. Anydangways, I wanted to bring your attention to the "Show preview" button in the editing window. It allows you to see your changes, but doesn't make a new entry in the recent changes list. Take a look at that link real quick and you'll see what I mean. Also, when you want to sign your name, just type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. That will insert your signature and a timestamp, like this: It's dot com 05:00, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Now i'm learning about Paint Shop Pro 9 Homestramy20 04:31, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Oh yeah thanks i'll have to look into that, but I really don't know much about that stuff, you might have to help me a bit. Again, I get confused easily. But thanks for the signiture info! Homestramy20 06:15, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Hmm... It didn't quite work. You should see a link to your user page, like this: Homestramy20. Try typing four tildes again below, and then hit "Show preview". If it works, you'll see a link. Then hit "Save page". — It's dot com

I tried it like 10000000000 times! It won't work... i'll try again Homestaramy20 05:20, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC) nope, still wont work.

Let's go to the sandbox. Click on that link and make an edit. I'll meet you there. — It's dot com 05:25, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

This is frustrating Homestaramy20 05:27, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Got it! Homestramy20 06:12, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

*whew* Well, that was fun. I'm glad we found the problem. If you need any further help, feel free to ask me. Here are some links if you need them:

• If you need general information, editing tips, or answers to frequently asked questions, check out the help page.
• Before you do any significant editing, be sure to familiarize yourself with our wiki standards.
• If you're not sure what you can do to help out, head over to The Stick.
• If you're looking for more community interaction, you can also register over at our forum.

Also, whenever you make an edit, type a little something in the "Summary" box. It makes it easier to track the changes. See ya 'round! — It's dot com 06:14, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Alright! Thanks Alot! Homestramy20 06:24, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Graphic programs

Hey, It's dot com, which of those four programs you talked about earlier are best for beginners? Homestramy20 17:32, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Well, I would say Adobe Photoshop. It really depends on what kind of stuff you want to do. What kind of stuff do you want to do? — It's dot com 18:05, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Umm, I really want to get into the graphics, so is Adobe Photoshop for just photos or graphics? Homestramy20 18:13, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Photoshop is an extremely versatile and powerful program. It's not just for photos. Describe what you mean by "graphics", and list the kinds of projects you'd want to work on. Posters, the Web, what? — It's dot com 18:24, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Okay, it's tip time again. When you reply, you might find it easier not to click the "edit" button at the top ↑... Instead, click the one over on the right side of the page → → next to this section. That way, you can edit this section without having to wade through everything above it.

Okay thanks. Well I just want to learn how to do like graphics and make them move (somewhat like on the Homestar website). Homestramy20 18:31, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Oh, so you mean animation. Well, I'm not all that familiar with animation programs, but I know that H*R is built using Macromedia Flash. It too is a very powerful program. I don't know what a good starter program would be. — It's dot com 18:39, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Yes, thats what I was thinking about. Thank you for your time It's dot com. Homestramy20 18:49, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Macromedia flash is a great program. I use it all the time. I have some of the cartoons at my user page if you wanna play and have a look at them. --– Pertmywert (Talk·Edits) 22:45, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! Homestramy20 07:07, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Fanstuff

Hey, Kelsey. How are ya? Did you know we have a fanstuff wiki? They've got like, I dunno, at least dozens of transcripts similar to yours. I know they would want to see yours there also. You should check it out when you get a chance. — It's dot com 01:56, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Really? Man, I didn't know that.... How do you put on your, like story? Homestramy20 02:03, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I honestly don't know. I hardly spend any time there. Joshua is an admin there. I bet he can help you. Here's his fanstuff talk page. Also, read the guidelines and whatnot, I suppose. Hope that helps! — It's dot com 02:12, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

P.S. I'm confused... who made this edit back in July?

Heh... I was new, and, uh, didn't know what the heck I was really talking about. Sorry for the confusion Homestramy20 02:15, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Okay, before I teach you how to move it to the Fanstuff Wiki, you need to format it correctly so it doesn't break fanstuff rules. It needs to be formatted like this:

{Strong Bad is sitting at his Lappy 486 answering an email. The email reads:}

Dear SB,

Have you ever gone bungie jumping? If not, I would strongly recommend it. It's great!

Your loyal fan, Stewart, NS.

STRONG BAD: {reads the email as is} Hmm... Stewart. I don't think I've ever been bungie jumping. Probably because I'm not a COMPLETE MORON!!

{Strong Mad comes up behind Strong Bad, over hearing the him reading the email.}

STRONG MAD: GO BUNGIE JUMPING! GO BUNGIE JUMPING!

See? First you need to format your story just like that. (except for the blockquote, which is optional.) Finish that, then I'll help you with the next step. - Joshua

Okay, will do. Just give me a while because i'm a little busy right now to do it. Homestramy20 18:04, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)

There, joshua, done and done. Now, do ya think you might be able to help me move it to fanstuff wiki? Homestramy20 03:22, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

It's possible that Joshua isn't watching your page for a reply. Or he could be out of town or something for the weekend. To be sure, you should leave the note above ("done and done") on his talk page under your original request for help, so he will know to look here again. — It's dot com 00:48, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Oh, don't I feel like an idiot... Homestramy20 00:50, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Alright, now that it's not breaking any rules, I'll explain how to add it to the fanstuff. First get an account there so you won't be annonymous. Then visit the page that you want to post your fan fic on. (Change the "Main Page" part of the URL to the fan fic's title.) Once you post your page, add a link to it on the "Fan Fics" section of the Fanstuff Wiki in alphabetical order. It's just that simple. - Joshua

Okay, first of all, whats an URL? Homestramy20 01:36, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)

A U.R.L. is an Internet address. The URL of this page is "http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User_talk:Homestramy20". The URL of the fanstuff is "http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page", so when he said change "Main Page" to your fan fic's title, he meant type in "http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/bungee_jumping", or whatever your title is. (Notice the correct spelling of "bungee", if that matters). If you do that, it will open up a blank page where you can copy and save your story. — It's dot com 12:52, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Get an account in the fanstuff and I'll be able to help you there, where talk like this should be. - Joshua

I already had an account, but thanks. I got it now Homestramy20 21:56, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Sigs

How do you make your signiture all colorful and diffrent? I see lots of wiki users do it, but I don't know how they did it- Homestramy20 09:09, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I spelled out some instructions for another user who asked me the same question. I hope they can help you, too! —THE PAPER ^PREEEOW 06:46, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Great! Thanks alot! Homestramy20 06:48, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome. If you get stuck along the way, just ask. I'll do my best. Try making this page to begin creating it. —THE PAPER ^PREEEOW 06:55, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

oh-kay gots it

Is this along the line of what it should look like? Homestramy20|^Talk

Well, anyways, thanks you helpd me alot! Homestramy20|^Talk

oh crap, why is all my writing going red? this isnt suppost to happen?!

I fixed it up. Remember you only want it to appear once on that page. —THE PAPER ^PREEEOW 07:26, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Oh, yeah thanks. And sorry, I was jsut trying to fuigure it out. Much appriciated. Homestramy20|^Talk

No problem. Now, what's left for you to do is head over to "preferences" and where it says Your nickname (for signatures), put {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} in the box. Then put a check mark in the box "Raw signatures". Next, click "Save Preferences". Then when you want to use your sig, just type ~~~~ or use the button. That should just about cover it. —THE PAPER ^PREEEOW 07:40, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Yay! It's over! Homestramy20|^Talk 07:58, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Nope, wait what is that?^ Homestramy20|^Talk 08:35, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I fixed the bug that was making the date show up all funny (it should be correct now above). Basically, I made sure that every <font> tag had a matching </font> tag to close it, and I checked that everything was in the right order. Sorry I couldn't help you set it up earlier. I certainly would have, except that I like to be asleep at three o'clock in the morning! ;) What time zone are you in, anyway? Was it daylight, or were you up past your bedtime? — It's dot com 13:47, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Well, im in BC right now, so it was about 1:30-2:00 in the morning. You fuigure it out, because I'm not sure what time zone I'm in. But thank you anyways for fixing the bug, because I wouldn't of been able to fix it myself:P Homestramy20|^Talk 21:45, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Matt and Mike Chapman

To get the creators to email you, just email them. Make it a thoughtful email and and it helps to know their email addresses. --Dantheburgerking 01:34, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Umm... right. Ha, I shoulda known that... Homestramy20|^Talk 01:36, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Well, I sent them an thoughtful letter. I hope they write back :D Homestramy20|^Talk 01:46, 3 Sep 2005 (UTC)

About the sock taped to head animation

I am requesting that you remove it. I did not make that for other people to use

• ~arrow'd

Oh sorry. Im not sure where I got it, but I dont think it was you. But I'll take it off anyways. Homestramy20|^Talk 23:31, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

You may have gotten it from bkmlb, but if you look at the upload history of the image, it was Arrow'd who put it on the wiki. Thanks for understanding about this (not to speak for Arrow'd). — It's dot com 00:01, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I don't even know what the upload history is... But I understand if arrow'd doesn't want people using his image. Homestramy20|^Talk 00:03, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Well, for example, click on this image from your user page: Then, scroll down to where it says "Image history" at the bottom. There you'll see that bkmlb uploaded that image, and then The Paper uploaded an image with the same name to replace the first image. (The reason someone might do that is to improve the quality.) That's how that works. — It's dot com 00:12, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Oh, right. Learn something new every day! Homestramy20|^Talk 00:13, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Thank you.

Thank you for contributing. RC patrol bot v 2.1 01:48, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Oh, no problem. Homestramy20|^Talk 01:49, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Um, is that guy a robot?^ Homestramy20|^Talk 05:09, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Heh. We don't know. I personally don't think so. Robot or no, it's blocked now. — It's dot com 05:11, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Oh, okay. I Wonder why it thanked me... Homestramy20|^Talk 14:15, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Creative Commons Deed

In regards to the animated GIF, Image:getittoffavy.gif, which was released under the Creative Commons Deed, you have the right to use the image on your user page provided that you give attribution to User:Arrow'd. That is, if you put it on your user page, you have to say that Arrow'd made it. Should you choose not to use it, that's fine too. —BazookaJoe 20:01, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, but I'm just not gunna put it on my user page, in respect for Arrow'd.

Favorite User!

Wow, thanks, Homestramy20. It's really nice to have a friend around the wiki, especially one that will make you one of her favorite users. I'm lucky to know someone who's as nice as you. See you around. — Lapper (talk) 18:04, 22 Sep 2005 (CST)

That's why your one of my favorites ;) Homestramy20|^Talk

Not to mention I just noticed how you helped out your friend HomeStar4. That was really thoughtful, and that's more like how the welcoming commitee should act towards each new user. — Lapper (talk) 21:17, 22 Sep 2005 (CST)

Well thank you. It's nice to feel appriciated. You should also come on the chat channel. Not that busy right now. That is, once you're done showering up ! Homestramy20|^Talk

I'll try, but I can't make any promises. I mean Strong Bad's relentless toil of "Gross" and "Shut up" are keeping me away. I see if I can make it. — Lapper (talk) 02:48, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Alright. See ya there (maybe) Homestramy20|^Talk

Any ideas?

Hey Homestramy20. I was just wondering if you had any ideas for the new help templates I'm making. More specifically, what did you really want to learn how to do when you became a new user, editing-wise? Thanks a bunch. — Lapper (talk) 19:41, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm.. well, when I was a new user, I wanted to learn how to make sig, but you already have that on your help templates. By the way, good job so far. They look like they are easy to follow. But right now, I can't think of anything. When I do, I'll drop you a line. Homestramy20|^Talk 19:45, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I'm just drawing a blank on what I wanted to know... — Lapper (talk) 19:50, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

All right, check out the newest installment: User:Lapper/help/link! — Lapper (talk) 20:34, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I was just looking at that. It looks really good! Homestramy20|^Talk 20:35, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

So then, did we learn something today? Lol — Lapper (talk) 20:40, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yes.. you caught me. I didn't know. But now I do, thanks to you. Thank yahs Homestramy20|^Talk 20:41, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

You're very welcome, and thanks a bunch for the input. Though that doesn't mean I've stopped asking. Let me know if you have any more ideas. And that goes for everyone here, all right? — Lapper (talk) 20:44, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I'll let you know if I get any more ideas. Homestramy20|^Talk 20:47, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Not here to bust anyone's bubble, but you do know about this page? — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 20:48, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, but I think Lapper here is trying to make it easier for the newcomers. The wording is easier to understand. Homestramy20|^Talk 20:50, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

She has it right, there, E. L. Cool. Sometime's it's easier to have a summarized verison of a boring topic posted on your talk page, rather than among pages of boring help stuffs. By the way, Homestramy20, kickin' new siggie. — Lapper (talk) 20:52, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Thank ya :D Homestramy20|^Talk 20:54, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Do whatever you wish, but maybe you should link to both pages, you know. "A quick guide and A detailed guide to editing" maybe? — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 20:55, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Oh darn it, Homestramy20. Your talk page link on your sig isn't functional. Just a reminder. — Lapper (talk) 20:56, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yes it does. Just not here, because you're already in my talk page. Homestramy20|^Talk 20:57, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Jeez, I must be loosing my mind. I need a break. Where's the pork snagglin's? — Lapper (talk) 20:58, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hehe, well anyways, I think E.L Cool may have a point there. Maybe a link to A detailed guide might be a good idea.

run: take-a-break.exe. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 21:01, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Oh, it was a typo?

I always assumed your user name was a pun on "Homestarmy" and the name "Amy." Thanks for disillusioning me! :p --Jay (Talk) 09:04, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Well... I think it's one of the first lines on my userpage that tells you that my name is Kelsey, but atleast now you know :P Homestramy20|^Talk 09:06, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

True, but other people have gone by pseudonyms around here (Homestar Coder used to frequently use the name "Aurora" even though that's not her real name.) --Jay (Talk) 09:08, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm... true. But I can assure you, my real name is Kelsey. 'Twas the name given to me at birth! Homestramy20|^Talk 09:10, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

images

K thanks man. I'll take a look at it. --— _talk Bubsty _edits 16:05, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

No problem. But remember, it was Lapper who created that. So really, you should be thanking him.(and just another reminder, I'm a girl ;)) Homestramy20|^Talk 16:57, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I just seen that you already thankd him. Homestramy20|^Talk 16:59, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

my bad. i call everybody man, if theyre a guy or a girl. — _talk Bubsty _edits 18:23, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Oh, okay then. Homestramy20|^Talk 18:25, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

crazydog

the one with the second slash is the one I want.

Yes, but you can't put a second slash there. No one can. It won't turn out to look like your signature. I think it has to do more with how you formatted your sig. Homestramy20|^Talk 04:39, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Got rid of the 2nd slash..still not working.... Crazydog _{My changes} 04:44, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

its checked...

{{User:Crazydog/sig}}

WoW

Homestramy, you do know that was have one or several WoWs trolling and otherwise vandalizing pages, including redirects to your page, bklmb, arrow'd, and many others? It's happening right now. — Lapper (talk) 02:53, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yep, I am totally aware. I just don't know how to redirect pages, or what not. I don't want to screw anything up. Homestramy20|^Talk 02:54, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Lapper, Willy on Wheels is an infamous page-move vandal on wikis across cyberspace. You can read up about him here: HRWiki:Da Basement/Archive 1#WILLY ON WHEELS! —BazookaJoe 02:55, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Thank you, BazookaJoe. I did already know what the WoW was, but thank you on the clarification that he is singular. I was simply asking Homestramy20 because his trolling involved her page. — Lapper (talk) 02:58, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yeah. What was that page about anyways? "So what does this move thing do, anyway?" Homestramy20|^Talk 03:00, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Job

You wanna be a graphics designer? Cool! I do to. I am already a pretty ok flash designer. You can also ask me about computers because I know a fair bit. =) – Pertmywert (Talk·Edits) 20:25, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Perty. Unfortunatly, I can't get flash (not allowed:() But, I plan on learning when ever I get the chance. Although, about the computers part, I know a fair share. Not a *lot*, but I am taking 2 classes on computers in school. Anyways, thanks for the comment. Homestramy20|^Talk 05:25, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Download a trial from macromedia.com and I will tell you more. :-) – Pertmywert (Talk·Edits) 07:37, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)
