Hello everyone!
I'm back! First of all would I like to let you guys know that my Corona tests were all negative. I had a lot of stress and felt out of energy most of the time though. If you'd like you can read more about it on my blog. I also finished my other project which is my first fanlisting ever. It is linked on the intro page if you would like to check it out. I would be happy if there are some Sceptile fans who would like to join it.

Now to todays update:
- 2 Icons
- 2 Icon Textures
- 1 Layout

It's not much but I didn't want to make you wait until I finish the next pixel set since these take a very long time to be created.
The update includes the first anime themed graphics for this website. I found some PNGs of the anime Fullmoon wo Sagashite on Snow Drops and was inspired to use them for some graphics. I hope you guys like them and I wish you a wonderful evening.

Sincerely, Ran

Hello everyone! Happy New Year!
I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm still alive. I'm working on a new project which I find very exciting and takes up the little bit of freetime that I have every day at the moment. Once I finish that project I will work on an easter pixel set and other graphic updates for this website here. I will link that project on the intro page when it's finished as well so you can check it out.
If you visit my blog too you probably know that I already made a spring layout for ARW. I would love to already use that layout, especially because many of my affies have a new layout too. But it's still way to early for a spring layout, so I will hold back for now. I might have to fix something about it anyway. I think I want to display the listings different this time, but I'm not sure how yet.
On saturday I also received bad news. My colleague has the Corona virus. We all had to get tested today. We will get the results on wednesday. I'm really nervous what the results will be and didn't sleep much because of that (almost falling asleep while writing this ). Sadly our employer insisted that we still work in the company instead of from home before. Now that someone is infected we are allowed to switch to home office... I wore a mask and washed my hands religiously all the time so maybe I didn't catch it. Let's hope for the best. I hope you all are safe and healthy.

I wish you all a great evening!

Sincerely, Ran

Hey everyone,
I finally get to write an update post now. It's been some stressful days since the last one. I had to get a lot of stuff done before christmas and work was very stressful too. Somehow the customers are crazy this year. Probably because COVID19 is getting worse now that it's winter time.
Maybe you noticed some changes here on A Random Website in the last few days. Whenever I managed to work on the website or got stuff done for it I uploaded whatever I had just finished. For example I've placed two boxes below the navigation and moved the affiliates and listings there. I think they looked out of place before. Now they have their own spot. And I finally managed to pixel some smilies, yay. I also created a Christmas & New Year's pixel set. The set took me a while but it looks better than I thought it would. Especially the chistmas tree and the mistletoe gave me a hard time.
Here is a little overview of the upadate:
- Christmas & New Year's pixel set (12 items)
- Smiley set "Pink dot" (10 items)
- Smiley set "Green dot" (10 items)
- Smiley set "Yellow dot" (10 items)
- Smiley set "Blue dot" (10 items)
I'm totally worn out at the moment and feel a little sick. I have to work a few more days around christmas and new year so I think I will use the holidays to relax. So I think this might be the last update for this year.

I wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year. Stay healthy everonye!

Sincerely, Ran

Hey guys, I have a little update today. I made the layout lighter because it was barely possible to read the texts on lower display lighting on most mobile devices that I checked. Only if you set it to an unhealthy level. You also couldn't really tell the difference between the shades of some parts of the layout. Now you can at least read the texts and see a little difference. :) (You might have to clear your cache to see the changes.) When I started webdesign over a decade ago I didn't have these problems because not many people used smartphones to surf the internet yet, haha.
I also had to replace the forms because the provider blocked them. I somehow overlooked that they were only free for 30 days, oops! I will have to replace them on my new website at some point too, but creating forms on the old provider was soo difficult so I'll keep them a few more days because I don't want the effort to be in vain.
Which leads me to the next topic: I spent the last weekend creating a blog & link collection site. :) I have so many ideas for websites at the moment. The new site is nothing special and very small. I tried to make the layout winterly and looking at it now it makes me freeze even more in my room so I guess it worked. :D It's an anime layout as well. I'm looking forward to make more of these. I already have an idea for another website. I think I will make a fanlisting or fansite for an anime / anime character. But I also really want to create christmas related pixels for this website here.
By the way, the last message that I received before the forms were blocked was an affi request from Kouyou Design. Luckily the message was still transmitted to me. It would have been sad to miss out on such a cute affi. *_* So if anyone else submitted a form on 6th or 7th of December it is possible that I didn't receive it. Please send it again if you didn't receive an answer from me till 8th of December.

That's everything for today. I wish everyone a nice day. :)

Sincerely, Ran

PS: I need to pixel myself some smilies. :D
