New Pics!
I’ve been meaning to put a photo gallery up here forever. It’s not that Yahoo bought Flickr or anything. It’s just that I don’t see the point in putting my photos there when I have perfectly good space here. (No, I have never really gotten social networks- I guess if I weren’t anti-social 
Anyway, check out my photos for the pretties and the cute.

Do not adjust your monitor
Yes I’ve redesigned again. Honestly, the last one lasted longer than I expected. I’m really liking this one though. I’ve learned a lot in the last 6 months.

I love Wordpress but…
I’ve had problems with URLs ever since I upgraded to version 2. From what I found on the WordPress Support Forum, it’s a problem with how the .htaccess file is being written and real folders under the blog in the hierarchy. Since I had this blog in the root folder and a private blog in a sub-folder, whenever I tried to access my private blog I would be re-directed to the main blog. The only way to access it was to delete the Wordpress part of the .htaccess file but that would break the links on my main blog. I don’t know if this problem is restricted to Dreamhost customers or if that’s just the majority talking about it.
The only permanent solution I’ve come up with was to move the private blog to it’s own sub-domain. It’s a ridiculous thing for me to have to do and it was time-consuming but it was the only thing that worked. A note from one of the programmers that they’re aware of the problem on the offical blog would be nice. However, they are volunteers and I realize that they don’t have time for the extensive support you would expect from a commercial company.

Reboot!
I started hearing about this year’s CSS Reboot (when a bunch of websites unveil new designs on the same day) and realized I was bored with the last look of this site. I had a nice Fall themed design almost done but I just couldn’t face actually using it here. I started the purple and grey color scheme just because those were colors I liked but now it seems I can’t let go of them. I decided to switch the redesign to gold and greay with touches of purple and it was full-steam ahead.
So enjoy and watch out for sudden tweaks.

Check it out
For those on Livejournal, I’ve got a new Halloween theme up. It could probably use a little more polishing but I may not get to that.

I Love Themes
I got inspired to rip off the Gentle Calm theme by Phu Ly . I love Wordpress themes, I can completely redesign on a dev site, upload the files, and change over by clicking 1 link.

That was fast
Structured Blogging is cool but I didn’t like the unnecessary code it included.

um
I’m having eye surgery tommorow for a detached retina. I have no idea when I’ll be on the Internet again. Hopefully not too long.

New look
Yes, another new style. This one’s the new default. It doesn’t go narrow enough to work on 800×600 screens. If you have problems with it, one of the others should be fine.

Fall Look
No, I can’t make up my mind. That’s what style switchers are for. Fall is an interesting color combination but I need to work on the links.

This is interesting. You sign up for an account an whenever you post on a site that supports it your avatar shows up next to your name.
They’ve already got a plugin for my software and are working on one for LiveJournal. Anybody interested in my installing it here?

Bad Employee
I meant to work, honest!
It’s just that I was surfing and inspiration struck. And then I was working on that and it struck again. So I have yet another new style for this site and a new layout on the way.
Bookstore is sortof inspired by those wonderful places that combine books and coffee (or tea in my case). Clean and warm at the same time.
As always, I want to hear what you (yes YOU) think.

New Look
When I was working on the redesign that went with the re-architecture of this site, I had to work hard to give it a semi-personal look and not fall into the clichès that you see in a lot of blogs today.
Chic is the repository for all of those cute, not necessary usable, little tweeks that I can’t let myself use on sites with no alternative. Try it and let me know how it works.
