Although Graphical Faeries didn't work out, I realized that I like Freewebs hosting services and I some what enjoyed making these designs for other people (no matter how bad the "designs" looked) so I made a new site called Polkadotz. So I planned out my site as I wanted it to be. And then, I realized why my other sites didn't do so well: I didn't know how to design graphics too well. This is what my first layout pretty much looked like crap. The coding however was really good, for a 12 year old. I coded image maps, CSS, and HTML; so I was happy. I had Polkadotz for about a year maybe and the later layouts look started to look better. So I was still not great at it, but it was better than the older ones.

Well at this time Polkadotz has actually grown into something good. Now, I’m not going to lie and say it was a "huge hit" but I did have a fairly decent amount of traffic towards my site. The site itself also had grown content wise. I mean I had games, contests, banners, backgrounds, website layouts, guild layouts- I actually had a lot. Too much for me even. So once again I tried staff. It worked out ok at first because everyone was all hyped like, "Yeah! Imma be on EVERYDAY!!!", "I'm gonna make tons of new things", "I will make this site even better!"....and claims of activity of that nature.

It's amazing how hard people can make it to contact them after a while huh?? Look...I didn’t mean to bother nobody...but hey, I just though a "break" of almost three months was long enough to "go wash Fluffy." Maybe it's just me. Well I only had one active staff member, Jess who actually did make graphics and stuff. But she decided to make her own site and I even helped her code it, too.

So with inactive staff and the traffic towards the site slowing down rapidly I decided to go on hiatus and re-vamp the staff-less (excluding myself) site and once again, make it better than it once was. Well, it almost happened like that.
