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. And now my site is filled with problems. MAJOR problems. Until that’s fixed, I’m won’t be updating since it’s affecting every nook and cranny of this…



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.

New Theme: Yukata Summer (Beta)

Nanyate: Springley Edition (Final)

February 18, 2008 / Site Updates

After many hours of toilsome head, knuckle and shoulder-cracking coding, Nanyate: Springley Edition is finally (almost) complete. You will notice that certain categories have been replaced by tags, and the perpetually “under construction” anime review section…deleted. That’s because anime reviews will now be combined with my blog, since I just can’t seem to get to…



New Theme For Spring (Alpha)!

February 17, 2008 / Site Updates

I just made a new theme for the coming spring. The inspiration came from a pattern book and the soundtrack of ARIA the ANIMATION. Most of the CSS kinks have been evened out. However, I’m gonna have to think about a more suitable a sub-page navigation for a width=900px layout with two-tier child pages. This…
