Occasionally, I leave a message on my user page under the heading "Audi's Message of The Day". It's like a microblog in that it's messages are generally small, but I don't update it nearly as often as one would update a microblog. Anyway, I dump all the old ones here, just in case. They are listed below in chronological order, newest to oldest.
Oh, by the way, in case you're unfamiliar with the term "MOTD", it means "Message of the Day", and it's one of my favorite acronyms. You can find alternative meanings of MOTD here.

Haven't posted in awhile. Fortunately, no one pays attention to these anyway, so no harm done.
I've upgraded the map with show/hide capabilities, and I must say, they are a pain to code. I wanted to do the same thing for the MOTD and (soon-to-exist) talk archives, but now I'm having second thoughts. Knowing me, I'll probably do it, but I might do it an external editor that can indent code.

I appear to have accrued my first award. I didn't know there was one for userpage design. Anyway, I've now added an awards page.
In the meantime, I've added a map, an userbox library, and other stuff that I would list if I could remember what they were.

I've finally got the general hang on vandal patrolling. Enough of it, anyway, that I don't accidentally revert the page to a previous state I didn't intend.
Also, my skill at templates has jumped into existence, and hence my skill at userboxes. Hersfold gave me the lesson on templates, which allowed me to turn the main menu of all my pages into a template (something I wish it would've been from the start). It was then that Bahamut offered to teach me how to make userboxes. Having already known that userboxes were just templates in disguise, I thought I'd try myself at it before I decided whether I need help or not. Here's the result.

I think it's safe to say that I've become obsessed with my user page. I keep finding new ways to make it more functional. I still have to finish categorizing the hundred or so userboxes I tried to pile on to one page. Had to resort to giving each box it's own table cell to get it all to stay structured.
I've also done a lot of upgrading to the overall look of the page. Most notable is the addition of Crystal Clear icons for most navigation.

Threw out the idea that my user page was mostly finished, since Hersfold showed me Transhumanist's User Page Design Center. However, everything is being developed in leaps in bounds.
At the time of writing this, I've just finished the first version of my MOTD Archives. I'll probably improve the formatting on that page before I declare it done.

Finished most of the construction of my user page, but the code is a bit messy. I'll probably fix it tomorrow.
