I had been wanting to change theme for this blog for the longest time. But I read somewhere that it is advisable to stick to just one theme. So I thought I could change my theme but stick with my initial color combinations (orange and blue, but used grey instead of brown this time).

Btw, I used this same theme on berryscrappy and everydaychi too.

I was browsing when I saw the HP Pavilion Artist Edition.

Did you see the design on top of the laptop? I realized that those colors were exactly what was on my mind for my (beachwear) theme. 

And now, I can see that my colors are so many hues away!!!

Ooops!

Btw, I did not copy from that ad. Remember the launch of this HP Pavilion Artist Edition will be on March 28. I released my themes February 12.

Finally, my processing has finished. It started at 3:45 pm yesterday and ended at 11:25am today. Don’t worry, I slept on it. I’m not that workaholic, you know.

But I monitored it as long as I could. I slept at 1am at least. While monitoring, I revised the links and archives page templates of the themes. Hence the version 1.02

Anyway, I am working from home today ‘coz I am so sleepy, sluggish and a bit cranky.

Oooh, just as I was writing this, I received an email telling me they don’t see the data that I just loaded. Guess what? I don’t care.

As per Joy’s advice, my blogroll isn’t site-wide anymore. I have put it on a separate page.

For those using my themes, just ‘Write Page’ then on the ‘Page Template’ drop-down list, choose Links. This will automatically create you a page with your blogroll on it. Hope that helps.

SAT:

1am - I finally decided it’s time for me to have everything go live. working fine locally. better migrate everything online.

3am - still not yet finished FTPing my stuff. decided to leave it. slept

8am - woke up. geez, laptop was not plugged properly so it went off. checked if files were transmitted fine. ok, i see the texts, but no images. so i tested other themes, images are distorted. i asked my friend eric what i could have probably missed doing. was the css faulty? then i suspected must be the FTP that i used. so i downloaded FileZilla (I had to browse some forums to check which is the best free thing) and after FTPing the images again, I saw the images. So I must agree with the ones from the forum that it’s the best FTP. And it was so user-friendly!

9am - Eric asked me what resolution I was using when I programmed the themes. I said the smallest. he said the header occupies half his screen. so I started tweaking the themes. sheeesh, I had trouble with IE. I gave up temporarily and concentrated on my gallery. I want the pictures on my blog entries linked from my gallery (OC? hahaha).

7pm - our friend call asking what time our gimik was.

8pm - hubby and I went off to the gimik.

12mn - went home. <— tatanda na kasi eh.
