Welcome to Royal Ladybug!

(SCROLL FURTHER DOWN FOR NEWS AND UPDATES.)

A little about Royal Ladybug...

After toying around with graphics and html for a while, I found that I was able to help folks that weren't so computer savvy. I began making layouts for my friends and family until I finally decided to go ahead and offer a little something to rest of the Neopian community. I usually try to add more layouts and content on a consistent basis just for the fun of it, and I keep a log of it down below so you can see what I've done. *Wink*
(Check the little blog below.)

Perhaps I should touch a little on the purpose of my graphics for those of you who have stumbled in and have no idea what Neopets is. Neopets is a virtual pet/community site with over 70 million virtual pet owners all over the world. It's a family site safe for adults and kids, and it offers many, many things to kill your boredom or satisfy your craving for fun. Create a free account and have a look around Neopia! CLICK HERE ** Don't forget to activate your account though. Otherwise you can't use all of the cool features. (Neopets will deliver an activation code to your email addy.)

Meanwhile, the purpose of my site is to offer graphics to customize your profile page (a.k.a. user lookup) and other things on Neopets. Not everyone has the know-how or time to create spiffy layouts or upload and code animations, cursors, etc. So I figured I could volunteer a little of my time and knowledge to extend a helping hand. ;)

If you have any comments or requests, you're welcome to submit them via the comment form (linked where it says "Have a Comment or Request?"). I probably won't be able to answer you because of sheer volume, but I may take some of your requests into consideration for the site.

NOTE: Do NOT remove my credits from my graphics. Yes, Neo and other folks created the images I use, but I HAVE worked my bum off on the layouts, the coding, and the graphic arrangement, which warrants copyright protection, and I would appreciate if you would respect that. Thanks!


Royal Ladybug Graphics Site Log
28 Feb 2010: Well, it's almost March, which means some of you will be wearing green very soon. lol! To help support that, I have added a new St. Patrick's Day guild layout, and a new lookup! (The lookup can be found under "Other Holidays" in the lookups area.) Be looking for a birthday guild layout soon. I know a lot of you guild leaders like to decorate for your guild's big day, yes? *wink*

1 Feb 2010: February is here! That means Valentine's Day is just around the corner. :D I added two new beautiful Valentine's Day user lookups today. Oh, and one Anti Valentine's Day lookup. LOL! Hey! Not everyone loves the day of love you know! :p Enjoy!
Oh, and by the way, I went ahead and added a few new Valentine's tiled backgrounds, which can be found on the Valentine's Tiled Background page, and some Birthday ones too (those would be located under "other holidays")!

27 Jan 2010: Hey Guild Leaders! Show your members how much you love them by choosing a Valentine guild layout for February! I've added two brand news ones to the collection! <3 (Oh, and I went ahead and fixed that pesky link problem with my animations. Neo no longer allows any linking in your shops... not even to another Neopets page. *rolls eyes* So now there's a discreet text credit instead. I have hundreds of animations, so changing all of them was NOT fun. LOL! But at least you can use them all without that weird broken coding now.)

01 Dec 2009: Happy December everyone! *cheers* And just in the nick of time... SEVEN new Christmas user lookups have been added for you. I've been up to my neck in holiday tasks so these are a last minute add. I hope you can find one suitable for your holiday needs. :) Oh, and don't forget to visit the Advent Calendar daily on Neopets!

22 Nov 2009: Working on the Christmas graphics already. :P You have four new Christmas Guild Layouts to choose from! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!! <3

03 Nov 2009: I added two new Thankgsgiving user lookups for you! I hope you enjoy them. :)

25 Oct 2009: In preparation for Thanksgiving, I've added two new Turkey Guild layouts. I figured there are some antsy guild leaders out there who want to have their guild front ready to go after Halloween is over. ;) I remember those days. *smirk*

15 Oct 2009: Woot! Five new Halloween user lookups just for you! My apologies for adding them so late, but it's not too late to change what you already have. ;)

12 Oct 2009: There. I've added the last two Halloween guild layouts that I'm going to make this year. Hope you like the new stuff. Now it's back to my real job for me. Hopefully I can add the lookups I want to add on my next days off.

11 Oct 2009: I'm obviously a little behind on the Halloween graphics, but considering my recent strife, I'm sure you understand. :P I'll try to add what I can in the coming days. Today you have two new Halloween Guild layouts to choose from in addition to the still good old ones. *wink*

09 Oct 2009: Still no luck on the shop coding. (Sigh.) But I'd like to introduce a new line of User Lookups! They are simple layouts that will make a big impact. Let people know what's on your mind with the "Make a Statement" user Lookups found HERE. Enjoy those and I'll continue to try and figure out the shop layout coding.

05 Oct 2009: Guilds are fixed again. The shops are still giving me trouble. Fun fun.

05 Oct 2009: *headdesk* Why Neo? Why? Don't you have anything better to do??? Sigh. Shops and guilds are useless yet again. I'll take a look at them as soon as I can. Sorry folks, but I seriously think Neo hired someone, or a whole freakin team for all I know, to change the coding repeatedly just to drive us all mad. It's working. *sits in a corner and rocks*

27 Sep 2009: Oh look. More recoding needed. Yay. =/ I planned to work on new lookups this evening, but when I began testing them, I discovered there was more disallowed coding. But I fixed all of my lookups... again. And I'm going to make another attempt to add new content soon... again. Sigh. I rarely get time off of work, and spending that time on recoding is getting old. CURSE CODE CHANGES!!! We hates them, Precious!
LATER EDIT: Oh and I just noticed that all of my guild layouts are broken now. Splendid. I mean seriously, do these people sit here all day and try to think of ways to keep you from making layouts? It really is beginning to seem like it.
GUILDS FIXED! And my shop layouts live! Welcome back shop layouts. We've missed you. *hug* (Special thanks to the Graphic Bin for their selfless aid.)

04 Sep 2009: So, I recoded all of my User Lookups because in one of the browsers the silly navigation bar was all over the front of the main image. I had intended to begin working on more, but then I discovered that my cursors no longer work with the new coding. *headdesk* So, here soon, I will be adding a second code you can copy next to each cursor that will allow you to use the cursors with your Lookup layout. This should also allow you to use them with some of the other premade layouts found on others sites as well. Expect that change to be coming in the next week or so... if I can manage it. =p EDIT: Heh. I went ahead and knocked this out. Nothing like staying up until 5am going cross-eyed looking at html. Enjoy the fixed coding. ;)

03 Sep 2009: Still working on old coding. Kill me now. lol

05 Aug 2009: Still cleaning up old or bad coding. It's going to take a handful of days because there is a lot of it, but it must be done. Just like spring cleaning... erm... in the summertime. O_o

02 Aug 2009: *pokes the site* Heh. So yes, I got a little peeved when Neo made my shop layouts useless again (obviously, as I took a year's leave). But I think I'm going to start tinkering with things again. Not heavily, because who knows what Neo will do next. But I have always loved this site and I would enjoy adding more things for you to use. So be looking for it to happen soon. And thank you for all your support even though I've been away. Your neomails and emails have been very kind. I appreciate them. :)

23 Sep 2008: You are NOT going to believe this. Heck, I was just about to give up on things because I had discovered that all of the layouts I spent HOURS repairing could not be seen properly in Fire Fox. *headdesk* Since it was the 3rd time I had to adjust to Neo's ever-changing ways, naturally I was frustrated. And since I work full time now, I didn't really have the time to experiment and repair everything AGAIN. ARRGG! But, here I am, on my 2nd day of vacation and I have discovered AGAIN a way to repair all of my layouts... And so, it is done. (And just in time for Halloween, mind you.) That's right. ALL of my shop/gallery and guild layouts have been fixed --- ONE more time. lol! Let's hope I don't have to do this again. I would rather spend my free time adding NEW things, rather than repairs, repairs, repairs. =/

30 July 2008: All guild and shop/gallery layouts have been repaired! (Let me know if I've missed any.)

28 July 2008: Well my friends, it has been over a month. I took a nice break and allowed my frustrations to drift away. Then today, I checked my mail, which I have been neglecting (forgive me), and this kind person (you might know her as Ilinga on Neo) has shown me the proper way to repair ALL of my layouts. *Hugs Ilinga* So I am happy to say, that not only will my layouts be repaired soon, but because of this good fortune, I will soon be up to making more lovely layouts for you. :D When I've the time, I will sort through all of my mail and choose some good ideas out of your requests. And if I happen to stumble upon someone who has given me the same assistance as Ilinga over the past month. You will receive credit on my site as well. Thank you all for your patience and loyalty. And thank you to those who have tried to help during the unbelieveable frustrating time! I will come back and let you know when all layouts are repaired! :D

21 June 2008: Someone I spoke to made a very valid point. When TNT says they'll do something, who knows how long that will be. And so I have spent my weekend trying to figure out a way around Neo's new coding rules. Sigh. AGAIN. I finally figured something out for the user lookups and have since been recoding ALL of the darn things. I did not recode the old user lookups, only the new ones, and they are labled as such. If you find one that is still in need of repair. Please let me know. I nearly went cross-eyed looking at all of the coding. It is likely I have made mistakes somewhere. If not... yay! The shops/galleries have NOT been repaired. I will have to save that for another one of my precious few days off. :/ Meanwhile, I'm sure I'll get another 500 emails asking why the shops don't work, since half of Neopia doesn't read these updates. *head desk* Thank you to those who have lent their advice and tried to help. Your kindness is noted. :)

13 June 2008: Well, TNT has not repaired the coding quite yet. But I do know the backgrounds are working. So I have added FIVE pages of Animated Backgrounds for you. Now you can drive people crazy with flickers, waves and blinks. lol! Meanwhile, let's hope Neo fixes their coding soon. It's driving me bonkers!

6 June 2008: THANK GOODNESS! According to the Neopian Times, the code changes are in the process of being fixed! Yay! SO, that means my layouts are NOT destroyed. :D Bear with TNT while they work on this, and I'll be adding more lovely layouts when they have finished. :)

2 June 2008: Well. *throws hands up* I really don't know what to say. No. Actually I DO know what to say. I just don't want to offend anyone. So I'll put it simply. Neopets has modified their site AGAIN. And my layouts are ruined AGAIN. I just finished working a 3-day weekend, 12 hour shifts, so I haven't even begun to try and figure out if my layouts are salvageable. Just like last time, I hope I can save them, but I don't know exactly what TNT has done yet, so I cannot make promises. Sigh. I just wish they would quit trying to fix what isn't broken. Stay tuned for updates.

29 May 2008: Heh. How do you like my makeover? :P

28 May 2008: I took a break from my faerie lookups for the moment and added 8 new neo themed cursors that have been requested over time. On the 3rd page of Neo cursors you'll find these: Clothing (customizable), Cooking Pot, Darigan PB, Meowclops, Mystery Island Staff, Neggs, Slorg and Starry PB! Thank you to those people who requested such cute cursors. I am sorry it has taken me so long to add them, but I DID listen to you. *wink* xD (Remember, the cursors cannot be seen on a FireFox browser. They are best used for Internet explorer. I hope FireFox someday intends to change that. :/ Anyway, enjoy them.)

20 May 2008: More faerie user lookups! Now you can sport a Fire Faerie or Light Faerie user lookup! xD (I wish Neo had a Love Faerie. How beautiful she would be! Nice and girlie. Tee hee!)

15 May 2008: I am excited to say I've added a Library Faerie and Space Faerie user layout to the new faerie lookups page. They're turning out quite nice! I hope you like them. :)

10 May 2008: Good day! I don't know how you guys are liking the new faerie user lookups I'm making, but I think they're lovely. :) I made two more tonight for you. So look for the Air and Water faeries. I'll do a couple more next chance I get. Happy Mother's Day to all Mums out there!

6 May 2008: Hello all! For those who care, I am still loving my new job. Unfortunately it's a bit time consuming. A full time job. Imagine that. :P Anyway, I am still getting requests for Neo Faerie user lookups, and I am a big fan myself, so I am going to do a few new ones in my spare time. I already put one up for Fyora and a new one for Illusen, but I will try to add as many as I can. Therefore, I made a new page just for them. *faerie fans cheer* *guys groan* You can find them in the User lookup dropdown tab on the Neo Premades page. Enjoy and I'll add more in a few days... I hope. :P

23 Apr 2008: Good grief! What was I on when I put up those shop layouts?? I found another one that was missing a background. How embarrassing! I've fixed the Rose Shop/Gallery layout found here. I'm so sorry. I just have so much coding and images roaming around in my head that I make little slip-ups every now and again. In any case, I will be adding new layouts soon. Bear with me. Everything is hitting me at once. =S

13 Apr 2008: I do not know why I am just discovering this, but I had a neo themed shop/gallery layout that was not working. Thanks to muffin_monster214, I was able to repair it properly. :) So now you are able to use the rainbow layout toward the bottom of this page.

08 Apr 2008: Greetings Strangers! Hehe! Well, as you can tell from past news and slow updating, I am still busy as a little bee. I love my new job! It's the best job I have ever had, and I look forward to going each day. (How many people can say that, eh?) But, as I have been reminding you, I still love working on Royal Ladybug, so you will see updates when I have free time. :) I have been working on a handful of layouts the past couple of days. My adorable nephew's birthday is coming up this month, and in honor of him, I have created birthday themed layouts. You'll find four to be exact. A Neo and Non-Neo user lookup. And a Neo and Non-Neo Shop/Gallery. All four are Birthday themed and you can find them in the holiday pages. ;) Enjoy those. And thank you for sending in requests. I haven't had much time to sort through those, but I do appreciate your ideas. And I will eventually have a serious look at them. Meanwhile, enjoy the springtime and I will see you again soon!

16 Mar 2008: I am so sorry I have not been updating. That being said, if you knew what I've been through you would forgive me instantly. The Security job I am training for has been abusing me rather well. :P But I am happy to say that training is finally complete, and I start my real job tomorrow. Yay! Okay, so I obviously have no Easter graphics, yes? So today I have FINALLY put up the following... an Easter Non-Neo user lookup, an Easter Neo-Themed user lookup, an Easter Non-Neo shop/gallery layout AND an Easter Neo-Themed shop/gallery layout. Whew! Again, I apologize for not adding these until the last minute, but really, I had no earthly way of doing otherwise. So forgive me. In any case, happy St. Patrick's Day tomorrow! And happy Easter next Sunday! :)

24 Feb 2008: Have you been wondering if I had vanished? Hehe! To give you a little update, I got the job I wanted but I must finish an Academy before I can work. Because of that, I have had just about NO time off. =S And to make matters worse, I have caught that terrible Flu bug floating around. Sigh. That is why I have only added one St. Patrick's Day user lookup and one St. Patrick's Day shop/gallery layout. I am sorry, but it was all I could accomplish in my current condition and only day off. But just so you know, I have not, nor will I ever, forget about Royal Ladybug. I hope you all had a nice Valentine's Day. :)

02 Feb 2008: Dun dun DUN!!! A new Neopets plot has emerged! Beware of Dr. Sloth, for he shows no mercy! Just for plot fans, I have added a Sloth battle scene User Lookup to the site!! Find it on the New Neopets Themed LUs Page 2! And enjoy the new plot!

28 Jan 2008: For those waiting for Valentine shop/gallery layouts I have finally added some for you. Two non-Neo and one Neo can be found in the Holiday shops section. I worked on them until I went cross-eyed, so I hope you like them. Hehe!

26 Jan 2008: Okey doke... I have added 1 Neo and 2 Non-Neo Valentine user Lookups! I've had so many people asking for them and I was not ignoring you. Cross my heart. I just have a million things going on. I promise to have the Valentine shop/gallery layouts up before February, so check back soon!

21 Jan 2008: Hey! Remember me? *snicker* yes, I am still around. The good news is, I got a job. The other news is, I'm in the process of getting a better one. lol! So, needless to say, I have been one busy little lady. ;) BUT... I do know you guys need those Valentines graphics soon, so I am going to try to squeeze some time out of my hectic days to get those done for you if I can. Today I was able to add two new Valentine Guild layouts for you. Hopefully I'll be able to make those lookup and shop layouts for you soon as well. Meanwhile, take care. I've been missing ya! ;)

28 Dec 2007: I hope you all had a merry Christmas and got some pressies you wanted? xD I have finally fixed the "Contact Me" page. Be sure to read the points I make before emailing me. I hope your New Year is filled with good fortune, my friends!

24 Dec 2007: Just in time! I have finished a Neo and Nonneo New Year shop/gallery layout for you! Here is wishing YOU a Happy New Year! And of course, a very Merry Christmas!

23 Dec 2007: Today, with my NEW computer, I have created a Neo and Nonneo New Year lookup for you! Now you'll have something to put up right after Christmas. xD I will add New Year shop/gallery layouts tomorrow. I hope you all are enjoying your holiday. Merry Christmas!

21 Dec 2007: Greetings my loyal visitors! Perhaps you thought aliens had stolen me away from this world? lol! I'm sorry for the lack of updates. But with job hunting, house painting, and the holidays, I've just had my butt whooped lately! I hope to put up some New Year layouts for you soon, before Christmas hopefully, And I have not forgotten about the Requests and Comments page, I promise. Bear with me while I get my life in order. *laughs* Or just come help me do it. ;) Anyway, Royal Ladybug WILL be updated and I WILL get into a rythym again. I promise. I'm not going anywhere. ;) I hope you are having a very happy winter season so far. See you soon!
