I DID IT!!!!!

After 2 excruciating days, I FINALLY managed to create (erm... more accurately, modify) the close-to-perfect template!!!!!!!!!!! Some things are still not perfect yet... i.e. the sidebar titles are not centered!! =( Buuuttttt... Not too bad for a first try right?

Realised, fiddling with html codes is... FUN! I'm actually thinking of modifying a template for Christmas!! Make the blog all Christmas-y and all. But we'll see how things go la.

I shall be moving over to Blogger for a few months to test things out. All in the name of lowering cognitive dissonance!! Cause so much has been poured out into this site that it's a waste now utilizing it. So Xanga, goodbye for now!

Gargh! I am excited!

  1. HOHOHO. SOMEONE JOINS THE HTML CLUB.

    Centering shouldn't be too hard.

    What template did you edit this from? I'm interested in seeing how much you've learnt ( =3=)

  2. After exploring your blog a little, hope you don't mind me commenting a little further.

    Firstly, not too bad a job changing it from this to this. Also, nice to see embedded comment forms here too. EMBEDDED COMMENT FORMS RULE!

    Hope you don't mind if I point out some things though:

    (1) White space on the far right is... :( How come you added that in? ^^;
    (2) There's a bit of a gap on top of your header background image.
    (3) The erasing in the header image is rather apparent.. or is that a part of the design?
    (4) The color of your "a:visited" is rather dull, which means that links don't stand out as much. This would be fine if it only affected links in your posts, but seeing as it affects your post title too, there will be an inconsistency in the color of post titles (considering that some posts' separate pages will be visited while some won't).
    (5) You might wanna add some padding-left to your #main.
    (6) Also, consider increasing the width of your #main.

    As to how to go about making all these changes, I've left tons of obvious clues that I'm sure you'll pick up easily. :)
