Love this…
It has been a while I didn’t change anything on the site.
For the past one month or so, I work on this on and off, locally, and finally now, finding the time to get the theme uploaded to the actual site.
You’ll still find plenty of rough edges, in fact rough edges is just an understatement, I think instead of waiting forever to get the redesign done, I will just upload it, and working on it at the side.
First thing you should notice is of course the use of font from typekit, it is lobster for the title, and Adelle for the rest.
So now I got to go back to work and improve it one small bit after another.
I have been reading
All in the effort of improving the legibility and readability (ooh…using these terms alone make me thrilled, ha) of the site. Well, after some twists and tweaks following Wilson’s tutorial, I would like to think that the minor changes did improve the site drastically, at least for me.
ok, find some time to do a bit of minor changes on the site design.
Basically what I have in mind, is trying to use minimal graphics in the design and play mainly with CSS, different set of fonts(I don’t think I am qualified enough to say typography, so, no, I just playing with fonts), and minimal numbers of colors.
I have been blogging since 2003, but this is the very first time I have my own domain name. It almost felt like having your own house. But just as moving in to a new house, I don’t really have the luxury to sit down and spend all the time put up a design before start typing away. Just to have something other that the standard wordpress “Hello World” is tempting enough.
And so, the site design will be going on a live-designing process, which mean things might change day by day, or not change at all for a while (if I don’t really have the time or mood), ha. Anyhow, this is a place where I will be putting down my thought, mainly on webin general(like zillions of blogs out there…), some joomla (not unlike another zillions of blogs out there..), WordPress(while I working on this blog and venture into the world of WordPress), designs (now, I am not claiming design guru or anything, but just an enthusiast.)
And we will see as we go along.
So, here is my “Hello World”.
