  4. if you wood have seen my comment on the other thing, you wood no how much i love the new layout. cause its FAWESOME!!!!!!

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😯

  5. huff. this stinks. im one of the first to notice the new layout, but i still dont get first comment. huff. thats all i can say. huff.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! πŸ™

  9. I just can’t say this enough times: this. is. fawesome.

    I got to go look at the different covers of Midnighters on Amazon now. πŸ™‚

  13. hehe. yes. numbers are a very important part of commenting. its fun to comment on multiples of 13. MUAHAHAHAHAHA! *cough cough spaz attack cough*.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! πŸ˜›

  15. hey! theres like a foolio little box around your comment Scott-la. hehe. i want a foolio little box! i wonder if i can make that happen on MY blogs….suspicions.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! πŸ˜•

  17. Wow, this is awesome! I love it. but i must ask, why is so yesterday with Peeps and The last days? Just wondering. o well, i love the new deisgn, it is kinda conmfuseing right now, but ill get use to it!

  23. Like the new template. Blogger went a little spastic a few days ago and ate my banner. Oh well, hopefully I’ll figure out how to fix it one of these days.

  24. ok. so ya no how i told Scott-la not to change the site so much that i coodnt find anything like my library? (by the way, you did a great job at following this rule of thumb Scott-la) well, i just went to request more books from the library, and they changed it again!!!!! i am forever getting lost and HATING that site!!!!!!

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😈

  25. Eww, Scott-la used to be text book editor. Thats a sucky job. My friend took a career test and it said she was going to be a dictionary editror, talk about ‘tons of fun’.

  26. My library’s been changing their card catalog website too. I can’t find anything on it anymore. And I wanted to request Peeps but I didn’t know how. πŸ™

  27. My library is old, i hate it. There going to builld another right by my house, but its gonna be new. I dont like old stuff, unless there is some meaning behind it.

  31. ah, the operation has been successful. Westerblog, formerly Ugly, is now Pretty. Cause 2 weeks of killer sunburn is worth a lifetime of being Pretty.

    Not that it was ever ugly. I liked it before. And now, of course. It’s fawesome.

  32. I like it. It’s a change. I also like the pic of Aya at the top, though I will very much miss the one from Peeps. πŸ™

  33. hehe. nice referal Allie-wa. and besides. sunburn isnt always that bad. it gives you stuff to explore. like…the fawesome line of your swimsuit. hehe. or…the fawesome universe-switching!

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! πŸ˜€

  35. “ah, the operation has been successful. Westerblog, formerly Ugly, is now Pretty. Cause 2 weeks of killer sunburn is worth a lifetime of being Pretty.

    Not that it was ever ugly. I liked it before. And now, of course. ItÒ€ℒs fawesome.”
    Haha! Exactly what I was thinking. P.S, don’t call it ugly. I might eat you.:D

  36. I like it! It’s clean and tidy without being dull, plus easy-to-navigate … and as a semi-blind person, I appreciate the appropriately sized dark text on a white background. Two thumbs up πŸ™‚

  38. I love it! Though it is kinda’ confusing. Oh, well! I’ll get used to it. Yaaa!!! At least it is fixed. I like how you put that Allie-wa,

    “ah, the operation has been successful. Westerblog, formerly Ugly, is now Pretty. Cause 2 weeks of killer sunburn is worth a lifetime of being Pretty.”

    Good use of the book!

    That would be a very weird job! (a dictionary editor, yuck!)

    Okay, well I’m going to go explore the world of Scott-la’s new site.

    Wait, no I think I’m going to go eat Christmas cookies!!!

    Yummm!!!!

  39. i cant get over this layout i keep coming just to stare at it!! i love the aya pic!!!! but i must say i agree scott numbers on comments are very nice

  41. I love the picture of aya at the top, but overall I preferred the old look…I don’t like the new sidebar and I don’t think the posts look as nice when they’re displayed…they look very flat for some reason (was the old template more 3d ish? or more rounded?)

  42. hhhmmmm… im afraid i have to agree with Ali-wa. there is no difference in look between the post and the comments. that is quite depressing…hm.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! πŸ™

  48. wow. giant waves of PEEPS are suddenly commenting. but at least with the “recent comments” thingy, i no where all the action is happening.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! πŸ™‚

  49. i love it, and id you change the blog title and everything but keep the comments? Weird. O well, i love it!!! It rocks!

  50. hey, I capitalized Ugly for a reason.

    Because, like Uglies, Westerblog wasn’t actually ugly before the “operation”.

    haha. I can’t stop staring at the page. So pretty. or shall I say Pretty?

  54. Aya’s kind of creeping me out, though. It’s like–hello there, my Pretties. With a capital P, of course, dearest Allie-wa.
    I’d rather have TALLY-sama staring at me, Scott-la…

  59. Type it in the seearch box. They should come up…I think. You might have to scroll some. I think. idk, but I just did it.

  66. I love the new look, the old one just didn’t express the true awesomeness of the content. Snazztastic!

  67. i love it! well most of it anyways. im glad that the homepage didnt change. at least i think it didnt. if i did and im not seeing it cuz my computer totally sucks, well im going to be ticked.

  68. o no wait, i figured it out! for me at least, when you type in just http://www.scottwesterfeld.com it goes to your origanal homepage. then when you click on “latest blog entry”, thats when i changes. weird. but when im in you blog space, and i click “home”at the top, i says that this is your homepage. im officially comfused.

  72. For me, I have been visiting your website for about 1.75 years and I am super excited about the amazing changes. I am so glad I bought So Yesterday almost two years ago!

  76. The look is awsome. Btw on new looks, so u all no those awsome shoelaces in So Yesterday right? well while on an expidition in my bookstore i found this book that had totally fawsome ways to do ur shoelaces!!!!!! it was so cool! unfortunatly i am broke from buying presents and was unable to get it. BUT IT WAS SO FOOL!

  78. hehe. my shoelaces tie at the top instead of the bottom. no what i mean?

    normal:
    ________________

    8xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    ________________

    my shoes:
    ________________

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx8
    ________________

    if that makes any sense…

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! πŸ˜†

  79. Oh, its amazzzzzing, Scott! It was a bit confusing at fist, since I’m used to the old look, but this one is fawesome! Except I coulndn’t find links to the Spooiler threads on the side :/

  80. ha. I see…that is really weird, Lizzy-wa.

    Mine are in this really weird arangement. It’s sorta like woven but sorta not…it’s really confusing to explain. I did it while watching Stargate one day. heh.

    instead of 8 mine are more like…MMMMMMMMMMMMM with a strike through it, in case the html doesn’t work. Which is probably won’t.

  81. my laces r boring 2 but now i’m gonna go back and read the book and redo my shoes. There’s one where u can tie them likea noose. it’s weird but kinda cool

  82. hehe. spooiler. hehe. but yeah. where are those things? its getting annoying. and i dont think wordpress has an option for polls. cuz i have an account, and it wont let me make any. but Scott-la, if you find a way to make polls, please tell me.

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! πŸ˜€

  83. I have to write a stupid poem for this stupid fine arts thing. I’m supposed to be doing that now but…

    you know. I don’t want to.

  86. lol I’m listening to Fall Out Boy while trying to write Christian poetry. they mix well, don’t ya think?

  88. Fall Out Boy is killer!!!! I love them so so so so much! I went to a concert a few weeks ago, it was amazing!

  89. Mmm I highly doubt you’ll see this but it needs some color on this main part. Maybe like a light blue tint or maybe some red. I like it alot, it’s sort of just..blah

    πŸ™‚

  90. I AM SO JEALOUS my cousin said she might take me next time their in town.
    yeah color would be good.
    OMG I LUV FALL OUT BOY!

  91. The mighty webmistress is working on addressing all your complaints. Apologies for anything you don’t like. This is still a work in progress!

  96. Can you post about Libba Brays party? Sorry you have the flu Justine. Get better soon! And do I even want to know what a “John Big Booty” is?

  99. (in response to the very mean customer review thing^) I’ve figured out that the Ugly series is you either love it to death or you hate it. Certain types of books go with certain people. I love these books. I love the messages in them. Some people are bubbly heads and cant really grasp the concept of what Scott is trying to say in them and can only go as deep as the text and how Tally asks. I’m sure that person likes books that I don’t like and thats just fine. But yeah. I don’t think that they should’ve said that you shouldn’t read it but it’s their opinion..

  102. omg. That is so stupid. I already put my Amazon review wisdom on the Peeps reviews page but I guess I’ll put it here…

    Never read the low-starred reviews because usually the people don’t know what they’re talking about. Like that for instance. And on Extras. If you want to talk yourself out of buying something, read low-starred reviews on Amazon (at least they’re good for something…:P)

    Which is what I do. hehe.

  104. okay, have read all comments. layout is still cool.
    scott la, you should post the new midnighters covers, i want to see them big!!! is that rex and melissa?

    ahhh, and links to spoiler pages have been restored.

    So Yesterday + Peeps + TLD are probably all together b/c they were sold as a trilogy and all take place in NYC.

    this layout is more like Justine’s blog.

    whoa, Scott-la, when you comment, there’s a little box around it.

    i likes the new colors.

    comments without numbers bother me….like on the HQ.

    layout so very cool *goes exploring*

  106. ahhhh….amazon foils me with it’s uber-lameness search inside this book feature that does not allow me to look at big pic of new covers. also, Touching Darkness is strangely AWOL.

    hey scott-la….i bet you have the covers….post em….
    have i mentioned that there’re 38 midnighters tagged posts? one more, and to unveil fawesome new covers? good idea…..

  108. I had an idea: maybe you could make the “home” link at the top of the page be a link back to your main site. Otherwise, you have to scroll all the way down to “Rest of the Site” to find a link back. It’s not really a huge concern, b/c I can easily just type in the address if I want to go back to the main site, but it might help connect the blog with the main site. πŸ™‚

  109. hmmm….didn’t the old link go to the blog homepage too?
    so…very…new…layout.
    still think you should post those midnighters covers. us rabid fangrrls are curious. is that melissa and rex? dess and jonathan? ummm…i’m gonna say it’s melissa and rex. or melissa and…rex.
    must…see…full-size…they…are…so…pretty.
    i likes the recent comment feature.

  112. I Think it’s Melissa and Rex b/c

    The symbol on Touching Darkness is the Mindcaster symbol

    And I think Jonathan is Hispanic, right?

  116. hehe. you kinda scared me there Co-Prez-la. you no, on that first comment. hehe. explosions.

    ok…how to do the polls…

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! πŸ˜•

  118. Wow, the new lay out is amazing! So, totally random, but I had a dream last night that I was watching So Yesterday, the movie. It was pretty fawsome. πŸ™‚

  120. WOWEEE! loves it. great. fawesome. bubbly.
    yay!

    oh, yh does anyone have and news about the westerboard?
    i think i may be having withdrawal symptoms.
    *throws shoe at the computer*

  126. I keep blinking. My eyes are messed up.

    When I was doin makeup this morning, idk, I guess I was tired, I put eye liner on, but then I put this weird black blush on my eyes instead of my black eye shadow. I didn’t even know I had black blush. since when did they make black blush? omg – this is really getting annoying. I feel like I’m about to cry b/c it’s all powdery and in my eyes. I should wash it off but I don’t feel like it. So I’ll continue blinking like crazy.

    crap…i don’t know where my black eye shadow is!!!! I can’t live w/o it. I just wouldn’t be me w/o it. must…go…find…eye shadow. Plus I lost my black eye liner. had to settle for brown today. πŸ˜›

  127. It’s going to take me a while to get used to this. I knew the other way so well, hopefully I’ll figure this out soon…..lol. Can everyone tell that I’m not technologically savvy at all?

  133. why is it that I feel like a secretary/assistant/desk-job person today?

    Because I don’t like feeling like a secretary/assistant/desk job person. It’s creepy.

  136. Every time I read your your books my family has to threaten me with grouding!!!!!!
    But, I usualy sneek my book back into my room with it. I can’t wait til i get my allowence cause im buying more of ur books!!!!!!!!!!! Talk 2 ya’ll lata
