As you can obviously see, I have updated the sites layout once again.

With the site layout, I’ve also updated my logo, and made it chromie like, ha. Well I call this entire theme Chrome. So far I like it. It’s a bit of a change from the dark creepy red and black stuff, but a good change I suppose. Many people said the bright colors stand out a bit more.

For years I ran a very popular and successful MJ site. I always used the “black n gold” color scheme on it, and loved it very much. Since I sold that site, and wont ever be doing a MJ related site again, I decided I might as well use these colors that I love. So wallah! I like it so far. It’s just weird using the colors for myself after all these years, but I love the style, and its better than letting it die and disappear I guess.

Here is the new updated logo (incase for some reason you cant already see it on the site, ha):

I think it looks cool.

And here is the new layout next to the old (for comparison):

Old:New

I still need to edit many of the graphics on the site, and even do some minor code work on some of the pages, so some stuff might not look right, and may even have the old red graphics on it, I’ll get to them.

Hope everyone likes the new change

Visit and sign my new guestbook! Or even see if your post from 10 years ago is still in there, ha!

I had a guestbook on the site for the past few months that was basically a wordpress plugin, it completely sucked, and was super ugly; almost impossible to change the look.

So I went back to a older script that I used to use years ago called “Advanced GuestBook”, and thought that I’d give it ago and see if i can integrate it with the layout and theme on Josh X, and eventually got it to integrate pretty well, which actually shocked me.

I spent most of the time editing the templates and coding on it to make it work and look how i wanted, and it seems to do the job.

I know its ugly ha really, but i wanted to keep the old classic style for now. I’ll eventually add to it, and make it prettier, but my goal for now was just to get it looking like the original.

I manually imported all the info from my old guestbook that i had since 1998. Actually passed out doing it earlier. Really sucked and i hope to never have to do something like that again. But i wanted to get it done so I’d have a log or copy or whatever of my old guestbook. It was hosted on HTMLGear – which is a crappy service that I don’t even want to bother linking to, or talking about any longer, ha.

i am really happy i finally got a guestbook up that Im happy with. I kind of want to get back into the way the web used to be when i was younger.  I know i write about this alot, but it was MUCH more fun. We used to run aroundon the web tagging eachothers guestbooks, ha. Was awesome.

Anyways you can visit the Guestbook, and why not go ahead and sign it?

If you wanna check the script out, you can download it here. But remember i heavily modified mine, so it wont really look the same.
