The overwhelming need to update pixel ellipsis took over rather quickly and has consumed me for the last few weeks. It was sparked by me finding a folder (which I hadn’t created) on the old site that had text files (which I hadn’t uploaded) titled things like “paris-hilton-got-laid-in-cancun.” pixel ellipsis had been hacked before, but somehow this was the last straw. In between my volunteering stints I took advantage of good internet at my boyfriend’s to migrate most of the walls over onto Wordpress, and also did a preliminary redesign-hack of Chris Wallace’s awesome Gallery Wordpress Theme. Once I had moved all the wallpapers onto Wordpress I decided to soft launch the site since, given my intermittent access to internet, getting the site 100% fixed up and complete might’ve taken months
If you’ve visited over the last couple of days you probably noticed me making tweaks and changes here and there – changes will continue until I get the site to 100% (right now it’s about 80% complete). In the meantime I hope you enjoy the redesign – drop a comment or a rating if you do! I have high hopes that all the different functions that Wordpress offers will make the site a lot more interactive and web 2.0-y, while still delivering what crap and I had wanted when we first started the site 3.5 years ago – to own a small spot on the internets where people can find high quality, user-friendly walls.
As to whether or not I’ll be walling again – nothing’s for certain, but redesigning pixel ellipsis has definitely made me want to wall again! I’ve been doing a lot of traveling the past couple of months and won’t be completely settled until near end of the month, so maybe there’ll be something then. Maybe with a capital “M”.

LOL It seems everyone is putting up new layouts… Great work! I do hope this new look has given the motivation to wall! ^__^

I second Phoenix’s comment >D. The new look is super awesome – very modern, and so clean. (I actually looked up a few of your references because it was so nice!)

Thanks guys ; D;
Yeah, I seriously need to find enough motivation to wall – I especially want to finish this idea that I’ve had in mind for you Jay, but I’ve been sitting on it because of laziness/travel/laziness ; D;

Wordpress is the shits. Also, IM is pretty much ded. Would you, perchance, have space to take the walls? I’m on a lazy lookout for someone to take them/take over IM. XD
