Notice: Transferring Domain to 1and1

October 11, 2008 / Reviews, Site Updates

With Nanyate?! expiring in 50 days or so, I have started the renewal and transfer process to a different registrar. So do expect some downtime (about 5 days?). I will also be transferring my portfolio, IvyTan.Net shortly after. In case you’re wondering why I’m taking the trouble to transfer my domains, it’s because I’ve come…



New Theme: Torii (Alpha Release)

After I saw C-class designers copying my previous theme, I felt compelled to come up with something new. So here is something I created in less than a day. It’s nowhere as pretty as my last layout, but I tried my best given my time constraint! This theme is called ‘Torii’, which is the gate…



Problematic WordPress Upgrade

July 30, 2008 / Site Updates

Sorry for the hiatus, which unfortunately will have to continue for a while. I upgraded to WordPress 2.6 the first day of its release via the Automatic Upgrade plugin.

In an article from New Scientist, a man claims that his grandfather could speak 70 languages, and write in 56. And he’s never even attended school. This man also explained that while they were traveling to Thailand, his grandfather admitted that he couldn’t speak Thai. However, in less than 2 weeks, he was able to…



New Theme Finalized, New Plugins & Code

Sorry for the lack of blogging and commenting. When I start designing a new theme, I will code and re-code until I’m happy with it. Looks like someone has a tendency for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Just kidding… I’m just a being a perfectionist. Anyway, I’m proud to bring you the final release of Yukata Summer, which…



New Theme: Yukata Summer (Beta)

Nanyate?! has a new theme! This layout is titled “Yukata 浴衣 Summer”. For those who are unfamiliar with Japanese culture, yukata is the summer version of a kimono 着物. The flower in the background is inspired from a yukata featured in last year’s issue of JJ Magazine. Yes, I drew it. And yes, it took…
