So the entire last week was spent migrating webhosts which explains all the downtime and stuff (I’m new to all that technobabble, so, apologies). As a result, though, the site has undergone a few backend upgrades, with a brand-spanking-new design in the works that should be up in the next week or so!
Anyway, to the point: THE RSS FEED URL HAS CHANGED. As far as I know, this is important. As I’ve been told to do through tutorials I’ve read, I set up a 301 redirection at the location of the old feed, but I’m not sure how that works really, so uh. The new address is HTTP://WWW.CHEERUPEMOKID.NET/FEED and will be permanent for the most part. For those who don’t know what the hell this is, think of it as a bookmark that alerts you when the website has been updated. I think. Anyway, that’s important, I guess, so, please update your bookmarks!
Also, the Cheer Up, Emo Kid Forum is up at http://forum.cheerupemokid.net. Feel free to sign up and start some discussion because I’m pretty tired of talking to myself.
In other news, you should definitely watch The Watchmen movie if you haven’t already. I mean, people either love it or hate it apparently, but either way, it’s something to talk about! Unless you don’t have friends, then that’s just kind of sad.
I’d write more but I already posted up my Rihanna rant so here’s some sugary goodness for the day.
Oh, and in case you’ve been wondering, that goofy-looking dude on the left is the guy behind LoveIsAStory, which has some pretty good music, as well as a sweet cover of Imogen Heap’s “Hide & Seek”, or the song that everyone would be familiar with more as the song in that SNL Skit, “Dear Sister.” Mmmm, what you say? Mmm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did. That one! That one.
This guy was jerking it when his mom suddenly called him on Skype, which was apparently set on aut0-answer, with the webcam set to auto-start. [via boredatwork.com, via ubersite.com]
Is this real? Watchmen was made into a Saturday morning cartoon at one point? Oh dear god. [via todaysbigthing.com, via youtube.com]

And I’m spent. Be sure to check out the forums, I don’t think I’m gonna be posting links up here anymore since it’s up.
Theoretically setting it to 301 should work (FYI, the URL in the Location header has to be absolute (i.e., http://www.cheerupemokid.net/feed) according to the spec: in the real world relative URLs work fine), but no feed reader to my knowledge actually changes the subscription URL, sadly.
Oooh that's a shame! Well, I set up a counter on the RSS feed and it seems to be working alright, the 301 is redirecting all previous traffic with no visible problems so I'm just hoping it stays that way.
Oh well. > < Thanks for that, though, I'm gonna go double check the redirect URL! @_@
Okay there is way too many links in this blog! Hahaha, will check them one by one. Can't wait for the new layout to be uploaded. I should probably officially sign up now. Hahaha…
But yeah that Loveisastoty artist is pretty weird looking. But the cover is pretty great. Also if you noticed his genre is "Emotronic" WTF. Where in the world did THAT submerge from? UGH. Emo kids and their emo ways taking over every aspect of art, life, humanity. Hahaha
Hahaha I noticed that. Emotronic . . . That's so true. I mean, I like the guy's stuff and all, I just don't think it was necessary to classify it as an entirely different genre.
You been on its twin <A HREF="http://www.mylifeiscrap.com/">mylifeiscrap.com yet?
Never heard of it, I checked it out and it seemed to be a carbon copy of fmylife. Well, I don't really want to say "carbon copy" since I don't know which came first but yeah. I dunno.
It also doesn't seem as genuine as FML, does that make sense?
Saturday Morning Watchmen was made by Happy Harry on Newgrounds…
