A little revamp around here, just a little change of skin to more suitable tone *cough*, and more coherent index page, I was going to make completely new site but it seems overkill, I think this site will suit well with my plan for maybe a couple more years, cheers.

I finally have time to get around updating the look for this site again. I’ve been wanting to put site navigation on the top of the page for awhile, since it’s the best way to go, (forcing people to go to index page to navigate the site was a very poor decision, I’ve learned). This design is kinda like a bastard child of PocketT theme, with the core code from the old butchered TypoXP, pretty much a Frankenstein of Wordpress themes XD

Still have a bit more to do, need to clean up sidebar, styling comic pages, updating about page, making current page in navigation bar work somehow, and write about the setup of this site (which plugins used, which modifications I did and how, etc…)

Sorry for spamming your rss @_@, I’m working on a new comic viewer for this site, which will be much better a system than the one that I’ve been using. I’ve been trying to get this done for a while, but due to my (very) limited PHP knowledge, and my idealistic tendency, it was a rather hard way around to get it done the way I want.

Now you will be able to read my comics in the format I intended, side by side spread pages, like you are reading the book. I have to do this because I realized how much I use the spread pages in my comics and those are lost when I put them up online, without proper viewing method. Tokyopop manga viewer let me see how much better it would be if I can display the comic this way.

The system I set isn’t fully automatic. actually, it’s rather primitive, I still have to post the pages manually, but it’s a couple of steps better than actually manually code html for each pages, and because it is inside wordpress, I can take advantage of the RSS, comment, stats, and stuff, not to mention that keeping everything in same place. Now I just have to hope that Wordpress won’t die on me XD

waaaai!

Done upgrading! XD

I cheated on the process of actual upgrade since since I used one-click install (let’s say, it’s automaaatic.), but cleaning up after that wasn’t an easy task. Main plugin I used, YAPB, actually broken, but a quick tip to its forum fixed that. Basically, every plugins that have anything to do with category at all will break, thank god I didn’t depend on any of those.

I went ahead cleaning up and resorting categories. I’ve been wanted to do this for a while since I dislike having too many categories and assigning more than one category to the post proved to be problematic with my theme, so it’s good to finally have Tags system to rely on, and yes, I went mad with tagging, but not every posts are properly tagged yet, still long way to go!

Overall, I’m very pleased with my site right now, altho there’s still some modifications I’d like to get done, they aren’t very important as the main system is completed.

does that mean I’ll post more craps from now on? you bet! XD

This site is now more or less done and operational! welcome!

I still have to add remaining comics and info pages, but that will come slowly, I need to go back to work now.

I didn’t plan to redesign the site again so early, I was rather fond of last design, but due to alot of circumstantial reasons, I have no choice but to do the massive revamp from the ground up, I decide to go back to wordpress and use it as a main system of the site, now everything, gallery, comics and stuff are under wordpress, which is made it easier for me to maintain.

I also made a hard decision, I decided to dump Livejournal. The reason is because of their stupid policy, I think they fucked things up big time, it was rather sad cos I begun to get used to posting and using livejournal, now I have to start all over again.

I guess I could say that I’ve wised up, I’ve been disappointed with flickr through out the year over their treatment of illustrations, or non-photo posts as they called it. I was fuming mad when I found out that after I played by their rules and correctly categorized and filtered all my images, they treated my illustrations like it was porn, people have to log in to see it, what the fuck was that all about? I was slowly weaning off flickr for some times now, and now that LJ decided to be politically correct like a stuck up middle age chinese politicians. It’s like a nail to a coffin, and I realized that nothing’s better than hosting your own contents.

until your webhosting decide to kick you off anyway.

I’m in the process of moving to new host, and I decide (as usual) to redo stuff. It’s gonna take a while for me to put everything back, meanwhile, please check out my art at shariot.deviantart.com and my comics at sixkillerbunnies.com

I’m not sure if I wanted to stick around with other services I have or not, I’ve been disappointed with flickr and lj. I need to rethink how I put my stuff online again.

tada!

update #2 - 5.36 am, I’m going to bed, I don’t know if I should pay 79$ for coda or not ;_; it looks so shiny but I know that I really really don’t need it, cyberduck works just fine, but, still..

update #1 - 4.44 am, finally able to settle on based theme to work on, this TypoXP 2.0 is just perfect for what I wanted to use, altho, I was a bit worried that 900px width might be too big for most people, but most of the sites nowadays are usually that width, so.. yeah. :3
