What I Have Been Busy With (and Some Real Blogging)

Posted on 25 Aug 2007 under Journal/Life Updates, Site Designing

Only 1 post in this August! WOAH! I know I blog too less, but that’s way too less. So, what have I been up to? 2 things, mostly…

The new design for Gurdit.com : Yes, it’s coming! Just like I promised! (I did promise, I hope?) . It’s a simple, clean, blue and grey design. I’ll […]

Look who’s linking back

Posted on 13 Apr 2007 under Humour, Site Designing

After releasing the Bluespot theme, I haven’t really done much to see how many people have downloaded it, and how many people are using it. The most I do is to look into the WP Dashboard area which tells me new incoming links based on Technorati.
And today, look what site(s) I found linking back to […]

Releasing Theme : BlueSpot

Posted on 11 Mar 2007 under Site Designing

Recently, someone emailed me to let me know that they’re interested in using my theme. So I’ve just spent the last couple of hours removing my modifications from the theme and packaging it.
It’s the theme you’re looking at right now, unless you’re reading this posts months after it was posted. Just to make sure, you […]

Upgrades

Posted on 13 Feb 2007 under Site Designing

So I’ve finally upgraded the blog to Wordpress 2.1 …I’ve been meaning to do it for quite some time, but was hesitating because loads of themes and plugins are not compatible with 2.1 due to all the big changes they made in the code. But as you can see, everything’s working just fine… I’ve not […]

(Smile)ys

Posted on 12 Dec 2006 under Site Designing

Hello again, boys, girls and other random creatures that read my blog ( ). I’ve got more exciting news for you!
I’ve installed (yet more) new plugins! You’ll notice them when you leave comments. Enjoy the smileys.
I took quite some time to import the Yahoo Smileys into this plugin, and it took a bit of […]

Where Have All The Comments Gone?

Posted on 11 Dec 2006 under Humour, Site Designing

It is with a heavy (OK, to be honest, a frustrated) heart that I must tell you that I made a bit of a goof-up (understatement) today. I went into Fantastico (the automatic script/software installer that sometimes comes with cPanel). Under “Blogs”, I noticed it said that I have a blog installed under the directory […]

Sellout And The Blues.

Posted on 10 Nov 2006 under College, Journal/Life Updates, Site Designing

Notice anything different about the blog? Pretty much everything? Yeah, the theme and the ads (which you won’t be able to see if you’re using an ad-blocker). Let’s start with the ads… I never thought I’d ever put ads on any of my websites, but there they are. (I hear Manas’s voice saying “sellout” […]

No more valid CSS.

Posted on 05 Nov 2006 under Site Designing

The W3C CSS validator does not support opacity in CSS, even though browsers like Safari and Firefox have been supporting it since 2004 (Opera too, started supporting opacity later that year, apparently). Internet Explorer (like always) plays spoilsport. So you need to make something called a filter apparently and then use the opacity tag. Anyway, […]

Sitescore, Favicon & PostRating plugin aaaannnnddd…. WOOHOO!

Posted on 04 Nov 2006 under Site Designing

So a couple of days back, I log on to the internet, and log onto Silktide Sitescore. (I’ve been waiting for my site to finally get indexed by Alexa, which improves the sitescore because it proves how popular/visited your site is, and popularity is one of the measurements for Sitescore). So, this morning, I notice […]

XHTML Compliance.

Posted on 15 Oct 2006 under Site Designing

One of the things I decided on while making the website is that I’m going to keep it XHTML compliant. So the (very) basic template I’m currently testing (view previous post) is XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant, as well as CSS compliant. I also want to use those fancy “XHTML 1.0 compliant” buttons on my blog, […]
