Hey everyone! Well the latest is that...I've decided to close Sapphire-Effect.Net.
NO, there were no problems or anything, running this site for this short time has been fabulous, and everyone has been so supportive, you've all been great! Sapphire-Effect has also been improving steadily.
BUT. This type of design isn't what I really am interested in, you know? So I'll close operation of this site to allow myself as much time as possible to work on a BIG project I'm about to start! For me, this is like, a new beginning, I know my new design site will be successful and that's why I've decided to spend all extra time on building that one instead.
I've finally realized what type of design I love doing and so I'm going to pursue that and build on it! People like Miley Cyrus, DBSK etc. are amazing, but I'm not particularly interested in always designing with them because I'm not a huge fan of any celeb as I realized. I'm much more interested in my own life--(I'm just being honest!)
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!
So with all that said, this is just my prior notice which will stay up for a while.
ALL AFFIES MAY REMOVE THEIR LINKS TO ME. Comments are welcome, as always. The last custom layout I made, for Rachel, will be delivered to her; so Rachel don't worry, you will get your order 
. No further designs will be made fo this site.
Take care, everyone!

Hello! Wow, school has kept me really busy for a while, and especially this week. Not that I don't have time to design; I do. But it might be a little while before I come up with premades again. However orders are always welcome!
Well, just an update so you know I'm still alive! lol
I'm always hovering around; so don't hesitate to request anything! Until next time, stay cool <3
[EDIT: 30/03/08]
THE CONTEST:
For those of you who are wondering about the DBSK Banner Set contest? That contest will just be held indefinitely until enough people have entered; and then you'll all have your awards This is because it's harder to find enough people to enter quickly, I guess! DBSK fans can be hard to locate. So if you want to enter now, you can!
That's all for now, feel free to ask any other questions and I'll answer them~
THE POLL
Thanks for voting everyone! I'll leave the poll up for a little longer, but in case you're interested in the results, Miley Cyrus is winning by a landslide, followed by DBSK, then Ashley Tisdale!
Thanks for letting me know what you'd like to see, and these people will be my focus in future premades and of course you can order any graphics you want for your site~

I'm still all happy about having a week's break from college...even though 2 days of that week are already gone?!
So I hunted for some Jessica Simpson pictures and made another premade! Unusual colours I think, but still good
Also I was accepted by some really awesome designers to be affiliates! So far it's Lovesong Designs, Sparkling Designs and Pixie Dust designs, and I'm waiting for confirmation from others I'd be glad to have many talented affiliates, so if you're interested you can apply for us to be affiliates as well.
Until next time...!

Hi everyone! Well exams (which I forgot to mention) are finally over and here I am again with a new layout! I hope you enjoy this layout as much as I do.
To all of you who gave me ideas on what to do about Cutenews, thanks you lots! I'm using Fanupdate now!
Not only the layout has changed but I've organised the site a little better. Also I've added new premades! I've been fascinated with gradients and shadows recently. LOL.
All premades can be ordered here!
I've also added a bunch of samples, have a look at everything and let me know what you think.
I'd be so happy also if you guys would order some things! Now I have so much time on my hands, too. I code all layouts (HTML and CSS), it's not my habit to leave them uncoded to distribute. If you need a new layout, order away!
Well again I hope you like the changes and please let me know your opinions. Take care!

Okay, I know people say you shouldn't criticise something based on what you hear others say about it, but you should check it out for yourself...
I've been on sites where girls using cutenews say that it's horrible...and maybe that's true after all! Well it's not absolutely terrible to me but I had to spend time going through one of those php files, fixing a bug which printed something about ten times in my comments section about "division by zero." Sigh...thankfully it's been fixed (I hope!)
For all those of you who are thinking of entering the bset contest, please do! I'd be happy LOL and I'll give nice awards~
I think I'm high on sugar or something right now but I'll be fine. You take care of yourselves too; bye!!
EDIT!!
UPSIDE-DOWN QUESTION MARKS! What is cutenews doing to meż I'm going to have to find an alternative! It's turned the question marks I've written (in posts) upside-down, so urls in my posts don't work. Since I use php variable requests for my navigation, I see this as unacceptable.
Maybe it's just my dumb luck...Anyway at least it didn't ruin ALL of my navigation, that would've been disastrous! Oh, it's making me go crazy..! haha
Anyway I'll put the link to the bset contest in the navigation bar (something I should have done in the first place!) and either reinstall it OR look for something better to manage my content with!
