The first of which I’m especially excited about and will be ongoing; it’s an aLBoP Glossary, aka aLBoPGloss!  So that when you want to read up on any specific tool or concept on aLBoP, you can go read its individualized page for a brief (ish, I mean c’mon, this is still aLBoP we’re talking about ) summary of it.  There will also be related links to other pages, so you can know where to go to learn more about that, or similar topics.

Finding information in the very lengthy posts on aLBoP has still been one of our weaker points, so I hope this will help in a fun and informative way.  There’s just a few posts up there so far, but they’re bite-sized enough for me that I hope to have fun posting more, often.

Here’s a link to the Glossary homepage.  I may be super proud of learning to make those snazzy “spoiler” drop downs.  So far I’ve only posted The Importance of Definitions, Cognition, and The Power of First Steps.  That last one is my favorite.  I wrote it today in the bathtub.  If you or anyone you know wants to understand how cognition and aLBoP’s approach to it can have practical applicability in your life, check out that glossary post.

But I have also been making infographics on the Four Types of Information that I just wasn’t able to write up pages for in time, so those should be coming soon.

I’m considering having aLBoP Patrons vote on which glossary posts you’d like to see sooner.  So Patreonees, tell me if you think that’d be fun, and be thinking of glossary pages you’d find useful.  They don’t have to be limited to the list already on the aLBoPGloss page.

Which brings me to the other treat.  (I’m playing on the whole Halloween “Trick or Treat” thing if that was unclear.  Sooooo witty, I know ) Well, it’s a fairly apologetic treat.  Sorry if anyone is allergic to apologies.

But while my aim, starting last month, was 3 wallpapers a month, unsurprisingly that didn’t happen this month.  I’m a perfectionist and an idiot.  I spent an entire evening on the one wallpaper I made and will share with you in a sec here, and never found time to make two more.  So the whole “3 a month” thing might have to be rethought?  I don’t know.  I’m rolling with it month-to-month and at the moment I’m just glad I made one and I think it’s really pretty.

Here’s the link to the open-to-everyone Patreon post with the download links

Therefore, I’m making it free for all, because colors and I think this quote from Type Specializations is one everyone could use.  I hope that’s okay, Patreon ppls.  I don’t expect anyone to have a problem with me sharing the Patreon $5-and-up reward with everyone, but technically you have a right to have a problem with it, so thanks for being cool and understanding.

I assume if I’m only able to put out one a month, after this I’ll just give them to the $5-and-up people.  But Patreon rewards need a revamp anyway so…

BUT NOT TODAY!  For today is Halloween and you have glossary pages to check out!

Thank you for your wonderfulness, my lovelies!

Much love as always,

OH, ps:  I struggled to convert both this month and last months’ wallpapers for phone, because I couldn’t find a clear answer online about phone wallpaper dimensions.  If you guys want to tell me the sizes of other wallpapers you use, or sizes you’d like, etc., let me know and I’ll be happy to convert them for phone!

The post October Updates, including Glossary! appeared first on A Little Bit of Personality.

Here’s a preview of September’s free wallpaper!  This one was an idea from the amazing Mariana, who said basically “There’s one pic of Gwen and Phil looking bad a**.” so I added a couple of modifications to the original picture, and here they are!

I would like to imagine this is aLBoP’s tagline: Making definitions look good.  Although I’m pretty sure Gwen and Phil are cooler than me. I’m kind of okay with this.

Get the full-size versions here, in two sizes, again totally free and you don’t have to sign in or anything.

For our $5+ patrons, there are two more!  Quotes from The Four Types of Love and The People of Stranger Things.  Here are the watermarked versions:

The badly repeated aLBoP logo won’t be on the actual ones lol, I just wanted you guys to be able to see the overall preview.  Here’s the $5+ patron-only link for those.  So fancy!

I’m hoping in the months coming to get all our rewards in shape and update them to what you guys want, so if you were considering becoming an aLBoP supporter, it’s a good time.

Let me know what wallpapers you guys want next!  Quotes, stick figures, weird pics of me and Justin, whatever you guys want!  As always, if I use your idea, you’ll receive that wallpaper, even if you’re not Patreon-ing atm, so let me know what you’d like to have as your background!

Oh and let me know if you guys would use phone backgrounds!  I was going to do it for this month, but they’re a little more effort, sizing-wise and everything, so I didn’t want to bother unless I know you guys actually want them.

And as another Patreon housekeeping thing, on our next Thank You vid, I’m planning on adding the list of patrons to the end of the video, but if you’re a patron and you don’t want your first name listed, let me know privately the pseudonym you want, or if you just don’t want to be listed at all.  I want to give due credit, but not if you don’t want me to!

Okay, I think that’s it for now.  If you use a wallpaper, send me screenies!  I’d love to see!! Thank you for all you guys do, especially if you are or have Patreon-ed, but even if you haven’t or can’t.  Support in general means the world to us and I never know what I’d do without you guys.

Much love,
<3 Calise
