Simply just too “eng”

Monday October 20thDesign Category •

Eng? (means ‘free’ in hokkien) Hmmmm… not really. Don’t think you wanna know how many of my assignments are going to due next week. So where’s my land of Oz? Revamping blogs. I find it therapeutic to come up with new layouts and designs for my blog when I’m stressed. This time, I didn’t revamp my own…. coz I still like the current look. Haven’t got sick of it yet. Give me another half a year or so… So, since I sort of promised my Mumzie a new blog look (…a rosy romantic look.. coz she doesn’t like the yellow parts), I decided to work on it.

I actually already designed it in Photoshop last hols. Nothing drastic. Just had to translate all that in to html and css code. Sometimes I still wonder how I managed to learn html on my own. (while I find Java which was taught step by step in school such a pain!) I guess interest in something can move little mountains like this. I wish I could do stuff like that for a living…. but I know I won’t make a fortune out of that… I wanna earn tonnes of money! Anyway, I also put in little additions such as a cursive sign off and a little rose posy post divider.

Anyway… here’s the before:

    I visited mum’s site before her blog overhaul and thought it was beautiful and now it’s even more beautiful! Well done – I had to do my own (my first attempt at html code) – it still needs tweaking – like a new header picture to incorporate the blue of the font and the pink of the falling icons but I’m getting there.

    You should advertise personalised blog designs – I am sure you will make plenty of money!

    Thanks Carol for the encouragement. :) I shall consider your suggestion. As a student, I’m pretty swamped with school work… so I might not always have the time to design blogs.

    I visited your blog too and I think the little pink hearts are so sweet!

    You did a great job with your mother’s site. I had Matt help me with mine but it was a template taken from the internet.
    Cheers!

    Thanks… Just something I like to do if I have a little free time on my hands. It’s pretty simple.

    Btw… I heard you’re into photography? You take courses or something?
