I'm so proud of myself! I made this template in less than 48 hours! Especially I cheated (somewhat) because I used most of the crucial backbone css styling from the previous template (teddY-risatioN™ Alpha). I just altered some of the colours so that they look nicer, and I've decided to use Verdana again, ditch Tahoma because of its horrible appearance at small font-sizes, and Century Gothic is a definite NONO for blog texts because it gets pretty ugly when shrunk.
The code name for this template is actually Colour Burst. Quite obvious because you have this super duper colourful header on top :razz: But then since I want to keep reminding myself that this blog is constantly evolving, I've decided to name it Beta. And yes, when I get more ideas and nicer designs the next one will be Gamma and so on and so forth :mrgreen: lol!
Here are some of the major changes from Alpha to Beta:
- Header image [her instructions posted here .
- XHTML Valid – Yes! I still managed to keep this theme XHTML Transitional Valid. But sometimes it shows some error because you're reading the old posts (which are not XHTML friendly at all) or when Chinese characters appear on the page. Otherwise, it's perfectly valid! Heh!
Tell me how you feel about the new blog theme! Hope you all love it!
whoa so colourful!!!! i like!!! All the pictures look so..ALIVE!!! Like as though it’s moving and all. aiya conclusion the new template is CUNTED!
yay new layout, love all the pictures of the flowers on the header. personally i like using tiny fonts lol, ha too bad if people cant see xp i like using either verdana or tahoma in size 7pt or 8pt the most. lol
Congrats on the new launch of your blogskin!
wow. your designing skills are getting better and better!!! thumbs up!!!!!!!
everybody, let’s all hate teddy. unless he designs gorgeous headers for you.
unfortunately, on the whole, i seem to like the previous one slightly better.
still, it’s nice.! =p
It’s a very nice new theme! The first thing I noticed about it when I came was that the pictures were some of the ones you took and you’ve used your collage style. Good job. :)
Melissa: Thank you sooo much for the compliment princss!!! Glad to know that you like the photos! Basically they’re my personal favourites!
rei: Awww I really must thank you a million times for all the inspiration you’ve gave me :D and the improvements and feedback. Thank you so much! Anyway I decided to ditch Tahoma again because it looks pretty squeezy. I prefer Verdana. Haha. Although it’s quite common, at least it doesn’t sacrifice too much font quality.
Nonnie: Thank you Nonnie! You’re always so sweet!
Michelle: Not exactly, although it’ve improved over the months :razz: haha you’re still the wordpress theme guru! Haha! I should learn from you! I’m always impressed by your simplicistic style… my layout always gets overly complicated.
jason: Awww don’t hate me! If you want me to design a header just tell me… I’ll try my best to do so la. But eh I don’t have a lot of ideas, and my photoshop skills are simply not there yet. So haha probably you’ll make a nicer one than mine! You love the previous one? Well I sort of miss the old one too but I think the header is too bland.
Grace: Thanks for your compliment Grace! Ah wells those photos are part of my personal favourites collection… so most of the time I’ll tap into that specific archive when I need beautiful images ;) haha!
