Netflix, My Lost Love

February 28th, 2007
Netflix!

I first subscribed to :medal: Netflix back in 2004 on the 3-movies-unlimited plan per month. Let me tell you, I watched more movies and TV series that one year than I probably did in the first 10 years of my life! I remember I sometimes clocked about 6 movies or so per week, because Netflix was super fast at shipping! I froze my account in 2005, I think for just money reasons, but Netflix has always been awesome in my eyes.

So last week I was thinking about how I hated spending so much at Blockbuster but that there were so many great movies out that I still wanted to see. Lo and behold, I remembered my old account on Netflix and re-activated it, this time on the 2-movies-unlimited a month plan! And the shipping is still super fast. :) I got my first two movies in just one day. Thanks to Netflix feeds, I can show my Netflix queue on my site! Woot for Netflix!


The GuitarAngel Exchange

I also added a few cool new visitor goodies on my website! The GA Top Sites, GA Exchange (for buttons) and a Plugboard are now live! If anything, it will help increase your traffic in one way or another. :D Let me know if any of them give you errors when you sign up or post your link. I've only been able to really test them out on myself. Need some feedback!

I'll also be optimizing my site a bit today. Meaning I'll be getting rid of a few features I don't think are really necessary and adding more that will help navigation go more smoothly. :D If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to tell me! I'm always up for making my site more interesting to browse. I've also taken down the style switcher for a little bit, but it will be back up soon! I have to sync my stylesheets. :)

Have a great day, all! :gb:

I’ve been thinking about signing up for Netflix myself, now I want to even more haha.

Melissa Feb 28, 2007

Yarrr, they are awesome! And you can be my Netflix friend!!! :D

Jessica Feb 28, 2007

This is sad - this is the first time I’ve ever heard of Netflix :D Reading about it now makes me want to check it out, seeing as though Denny and I LOVE watching movies.

By the way, I enjoyed your last entry regarding how people view what companies have to offer and how it applies to them. It was really interesting. It just can be hard now a days to offer visitor related content without being too redundant.

Melissa Feb 28, 2007

Thanks so much, Jessica! :D I agree, its hard to be unique when it comes to content…I guess it just needs some motivation. :D

And you should totally check out Netflix! It is very worth it. :) Let me know if you do, we can be Netflix friends! :D

OMG I love Netflix! I love how I was able to catch up with Gilmore Girls so I was prepared for the new season. It’s so great!

Yay I am totally joining your rotation!

Btw, are you using some special plug-in to reply to your comments or are you just posting a comment?

Melissa Mar 01, 2007

Yaaay! :D Are you still on Netflix? Friend me, friend me! :D

Wheee you get cookies for being the first official person in my rotation! ^_^

And yes, I’m using the Subscribe To Comments plugin:
http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/subscribe-to-comments/

It’s great! :D Overall what it does is email anyone who keeps the box checked in the comment form of a new comment on this post. Or whatever post they “subscribe” to. I love it because it enabled me and a friend of mine have a “conversation” on this post:

I’ve been wanting to try Netflix, too. It looks like a lot of fun.

Cristina Mar 01, 2007

Of course I am on Netflix! :D I had to lower my plan because I clearly haven’t had time to watch movies lately.

Hey just wanted you to know I tried joining your rotation but when I filled out everything and hitted submit, it just took me back to the main page. So I tried logging in with the information I provided and it said it couldn’t find me. :(

Cristina Mar 01, 2007

Never done the friends thing on Netflix before so I’ll just give you my link since there is no place I can see to search for friends.

And thank you for telling me about the exchange…I forgot to switch out a piece of the join form, it should work perfectly now! Let me know if it doesn’t and I’ll wrestle with it some more…muahaha! :D
