Yeah I don't really remember how my legacy started. All I know is a klepto moved to town and she stole to build up her house and when she married she would sneak out. Then she had a ton of kids. She had twin girls and then twin boys but couldn't afford cribs for the boys and stole to afford more cribs and she suffered financially until another batch of twins was born (yeah I didn't plan on getting too many kids until she married and the dude wanted five kids). There was a sad death as the founder's husband (ten days older) died one morning of old age and then the founder died of old age that afternoon! Really weird but that's what happened. To find out more go to pineapple275sim.wordpress.com/This story is rated T according to the post in the Machinima section of this forum. Enjoy!

I used Photoshop, which is a photo-editing program. It's a very expensive software, but there are free alternatives such as GIMP.

UGH! Stupid photoshop! Why does it have to cost ANYTHING? Don't they realize they could get mroe customers if it was free? Everyone these days is just trying to make a profit.

Well, they would get more customers, but they would lose money and go out of business really quickly. Photoshop spends tonnes of money on developing its software and is arguable one of the best, most professional and sophisticated photo-editing programs in the world.
Free programs like GIMP are pretty good and they have most of the basic functions Photoshop has, but they don't spend nearly as much money on developing and improving their software and it shows. That's how they can keep their product free and not go bankrupt.

I haven't gotten around to GIMP yet. You told me how to make all the links and such like you did for your chapters page...well I did exactly what you said and then everything clumped together and it wasn't a link anymore. I guess computers just frustrate me. I'm hopeless with the links thing though. I got the read more and next page codes down!

Make sure you only highlight what you want your link to say. If worse comes to worst, use HTML mode and do it manually with HTML. The code for named links is:
<a href="PUT URL ADDRESS HERE">PUT LINK NAME HERE</a>
That code should work if you type it exactly as shown in HTML mode. Obviously replace and insert the url and link name where it tells you to.
Make sure to keep the quotation marks in the code.

I'm fine for now, the only problem is figuring out where my first post (1.0 Founding) keeps being put! I think I should take a break from posting for a while. I just wanted to ask what you would rate my blog- Good :/ Okay Horrible Or you could go to the Polls page on my blog and vote there which I will probably check sooner then this. I am assuming that you only got as far as your comments which is like 1.13 I think? Just wanted your opinion since you're a really good writer. Please give me your honest opinion because telling other people a horrible blog is good isn't going to make me seem bright so...thanks!

I voted, saying that I liked it. Overall, I think it's really entertaining. Any issues I have with it, I mention in my comments, so don't worry about looking foolish. I don't sugarcoat things and am honest with my criticism.

Good! That's how all good writers and commenters should be! Thanks for all the help you've given me! You're story has inspired mine to be as good as it is! Trust me, I bet a lot of people made legacies because of you! Your criticism makes them better too! Though it's not really criticism its just please clean up a few mistakes.

EMERGENCY! My comp crashed and I cannot access my sim stuff for a while. For one thing we don't know exactly whats wrong. For another thing, when we do find out we might have to order new parts (takes a week) and I might have to find the money to do so (couple more weeks) and what I am most ticked about is the fact that I was in the middle of chapter 2.6 and was almost ready to post it! Looks like two-four weeks until I'm back unless a miracle. Using my bro's comp isn't going to happen often...hes at a party now, heheh.

Actually, from what I hear, my dad has already ordered the parts. Yay! I don't have to find the money...unless it's after I get the parts. I know I've been a huge pain in the butt to get my comp. fixed. So if this part ordering story is true then I should be back by the end of next weekend. Dang it, it's Monday. I read your new chapter. I can't sign in on Wordpress though, don't know why. So here's my comment:
Aw! Morgan is so adorable! I hate that she's deaf. Poor Morgan! I miss the two sisters. Ya know with Marcie and Mandy. It seems to be brother and sister now. I mean sure there's Marina and Melinda but we didn't hear much about them and they don't seem to have that sisterly bond that underneath, Marcie and Mandy had. Katie died? Seriously? And Christopher Jr.? How can the world be so CRUEL?
