For about a week I’ve actually been working on a layout.  Yep, no half hearted attempt at a redesign, actually making an effort.  Something that was never put in for the previous layouts.

I’ve got the whole layout looking how I want…on Firefox.  IE – 8 might I add – on the other hand…grr.  It’s all nice and dandy going IE > Page > View compatibility but that’s not exactly catering to you, is it?  I’ve looked through my CSS but can’t seem to resolve the padding issues, and I’ve been scratching my head on that for a couple of days. :/

Knowing me it probably is a simple solution but I’m just not seeing it.

[edit 23:14]Managed to solve one padding problem.  Now just to get ’round the other one.   IE still doesn’t render the site how I want but looks as if I’m just going to have to stick it for now.[/edit]

[edit 17/09]Found a solution to override the issue.[/edit]

Just thinking about what to name my blog as “Blog” sounds a tad boring.

How did you come up with your blog name?

Yep, a new layout.  I know it’s bad ettiquette but I’ve only tested this layout in Firefox.  I would’ve tested it in IE but…it’s a strange story and I’m too tired to think straight, hah.

I’ve been fiddling around with this layout for a couple of days.  During the process I’ve discovered just how inferior my coding knowledge is.  XD  Anyway, I’ve still got some tweeking to do and I’m sure I’ll have more puzzles to solve once I’ve seen it on IE.  O.o

Right, I’m off to bedfordshire.

Oo, before I conk out, Happy Chinese New Year!  Sun leen fai loc!  Sun tai geen hong (I should brush up on my phonetics).

I’ve been trying to design a professional website for my jewellery and silversmithing things.  I want to be able to sell and show my pieces on-line.  However, I seem to be going around in circles.  I’ve done a lot  of research and, to a certain extent, found what I need to put on my website.  The problem is I don’t know how my website should look.  You see I’m one of these people who might go a little crazy and start bunging images/colours in, without really thinking about the visitors.

So, when you browser websites which are aimed for potential consumer what do you look for?

Time for a change, methinks.

I think it’s time to say goodbye to the blogsphere.  I’m starting my hunt in finding a good-looking football, with a bucket load of money.  Yes, that’s right, I’m going to become a WAG – one who will be living on her husband’s/boyfriend’s money.

Only joking of course!  The real and more feasible reason is that I’m making huge (…?) changes to this site.  Now I’m at a point in my life where I have to start getting my tush in gear and making things happen.  This site will be turning into a portfolio site, and stay a portfolio site.  As I doubt having a blog (e.g ranting about PMS) would look professional to potential customers and commission work.    So, if you get that bored and decide to visit this site again, don’t get startled by any “drastic” changes you may see, heh.

I want to get a personal site up and running again but, with time constraints (I should really be getting on with designs right now), I may have to delay that idea.  I’ll probably whore my personal site’s URL on twitter, if I get around to putting one up.
