Archive for the ‘Site’ Category

Today, the gallery will be closing for 5 days to under go the changes for the new format and new cataloging. I will also be making a new layout for it. And will be adding a whole bunch of new things for you to see when the gallery is back online.

Thanks to all the members for supporting and helping out with everything. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Currently I am working on the Career section for the site. As I integrate the film section into the site, the page is now up. But not fully done yet. So far I did sections: Inception, Shutter Island, Revolutionary Road, Body of Lies and half of the Titanic page. As for gallery updates, I’ve done Joy scans from 2010 and 142 New Captures of the Meet the Characters Featurette  for Inception that are now in HD quality and a scan from Marion Cotillard’s Interview in Psychologies August Issue 2010.

I also updated the current projects icons on the sidebar.

I meant to post this yesterday, but I was very tired and it was so hot here. Since I am working on some improvements, all intermediate images are missing. Those are the images you view when writing your comments. So if you see a little trashcan that’s why, just click on the trashcan to view the larger images.   I am also replacing images with better ones. I upgraded the image compression so the images won’t look so bland and degraded the intermediate image to 400 pixels instead.

I started working on the filmography section which has been updated and also started the first two pages for the Career Section. I haven’t made the graphic banners yet. But the page will contain banners for the movies that Leo has done. I’ve already completed pages for Inception and Shutter Island.

I’ve also added one scan from Movie Magic to the gallery.

Come September the new rules will be enforced. So with that the gallery will go down for the changes on August 31 to September 1. It will be back by September 2.

Inception Fan Art- Thanks to Ashley Mullins she created 20 Inception graphics. 17 Inception premiere Icons and 3 banners which are previewed on the left sidebar.

Also the Film Portfolio is gonna be integrated into the main site. I’ve thought it was time for it and so the Leo section will be modified and updated as well.

The gallery has been updated with lots of new additions. Too many to name. We also need more entries at our livejournal. So please send in those entries.

I’m making several changes to the site as you have read in my last post. I deleted several pages that weren’t really needed.  We also have a new news poster, her name is Jenna. So she’ll be helping Naty and Me with that.

As you know Leo is in Italy and probably moving on to Ibiza as he has been there before.

I apologize for the icon challenge being delayed, but family comes first. I hope to start working on that today.

I am also making a change to the gallery rules. It might be more beneficial for some members, others not so good. I’ll let you know more on that. I’ll be posting more soon.

If you didn’t watch the Teen Choice Awards, Leo did win an award for Shutter Island in their Horror Category.

As we enter our 11th year, I always like to do something special if you could give some suggestions on how to celebrate this coming year for our 11th Anniversary. Please send us some suggestions.

As you can see this is our new layout for August 2010. I’ll be working on updating some of the pages. I have updated these pages listed in the Leo section: Leonardo DiCaprio’s Charity Work, Contact Leo.

I’ll be working on removing and updating what I can. So just wanted to let you know that.

I’ve also been working on my fan fiction, I updated one story: Lessons in Love. I have more to update so please be sure to read my daily posts. I am putting off the next challenge for our livejournal until next week. So Monday expect the new challenge for SLD Livejournal.

There is a new section to our site, Fan Forum has asked us to partner with them to bring more Leo visitors to our site and their forum. They have games, and much more to see at their forum. It is open to all fans of Leo.

Leo is on the cover of Veronica Magazine.

Extra: Inception Cast talks about Filming

Thanks to Willy for the Veronica Scans.

As I catch up on all the latest news on Leo and the Gallery updates. Please be patient if I do not email you right away. This week was another disaster after catching my son’s throat infection. I will not be here during the day because of the summer heat. I am doing most of my work at night now because of the high temperatures were getting here in Los Angeles. You can catch me mostly in the late evening hours to answer all your questions and concerns.

I am currently working on a new layout and several other Inception projects. Also make sure to vote for your favorite Blood Diamond Icon at our Livejournal. Voting has started.
