So what's your recap of your createblog experience thus far? When and why did you join? What persuaded you to stay? What were some of your most memorable moments? Etc, etc.


As for me, I joined createblog on March 2004 in search of xanga layouts and help. my old username was Ethixfantazia, which was derived from my xanga. It had no inherit meaning since I chose it because I thought it was a nifty name. I didn't actually go active for an entire summer until around August, when I found myself stumbling into createblog chat. I think the chat is what persuaded me to stay on this forum. I've met so many interesting people who've come and left, and maybe came back.

Hmm.. I joined in June 2005 after having made a handful of Livejournal layouts. I remember searching for "livejournal layouts" on Google and cB was the first result, so I came and it just happened to be what I was looking for. For a while, I was basically just submitting layouts and not really posting, but I did post a bit in LJ help and in the graphics forums.. Around November, I started to get really active, but still not enough. I never wandered out of LJ help, so anyone who didn't go in there had no idea who I was. It was early December when I was nominated for LJ Staff, and I think my ppd was 1.2, which really shows how active I was at that time.

That was around the time I started going into the IRC channel, and I met some people (Jose, Sally, Anna, Radhika) who helped me venture out into the community center. Jose actually singlehandedly convinced me to make a post in the Lounge. That has to be the one thing I remember most about my "overall experience" because I had people IMing me telling me, "Come on Dani! Post! Post so I can close it, people are spamming!!"

Anyway, so then I started going into CBC and that's about where I am now. Of course, when I registered I didn't think for a moment that I'd end up being on staff. Now it's a fullblown addiction, I suppose.

Haha. Jose can pretty much make anyone do anything. He has that tendency. Mmm LiveJournal layouts. I would assume cB was the first on Google because no one else really has/had them, right? I still never got the hang of that. I tried coding it before when I was into Blogger.. That didn't work out too well. Haha.
