I am very conscious of how I spell things, especially when I'm blogging. Since English is not my native language, I try my best to ensure spelling and grammar is correct before posting anything. It makes me wince everytime I see those whose mother tongue is English but their spellings are all over the place. I mean, if I make the effort to improve myself, why can't they? I don't mean to sound like a patronising moron, but I seriously think that on the internet, since we can't see faces, people judge you from the way you communicate and if one is to make deliberate mistakes, ie. PURPOSELY writing in bad grammar and spellings, not to mention lacking all the necessary punctuations in order for the sentences to be read and interpreted correctly, I'm sorry to say I can't take you seriously.
Then there's also chatspeak. You people know what I'm talking about. TypNg lYk Dz bCuz i Thnk itz cOOl is not going to help anyone. Even when texting on phones (we all know about the character limits), I do not use chatspeak. Don't however, mistake it for Internet slang such as BRB, LOL, OMG, etc. I'm perfectly fine with that.
Come to think of it, I DO SOUND PATRONISING. Can't help it though, it's in my genes so I'll stay as a grammar Nazi, if you don't mind?
Anyway, enough of the rants. I'm here to let you guys know that I'm still preoccupied with my work; I still need to finish the ecommerce website for my client. To be honest, I feel this is going to be long-term project, especially if maintenance is going to be involved. But then again, that's just a guess. We'll see where this project will lead me to.
I also just had Kya to transfer Lunarisque.com to my main account. On the whole, I'm going to let that domain expire, as I don't have any purpose for it.
I've also renewed Nekonette for another two years. Yippeee! Which means I won't have to worry about renewing issue until 2013. Fug yeah, that's cool. Nekonette will remain as my main website/blog with Wordpress as its blogging platform. I mean, seriously, you CAN'T beat Wordpress. XD
It's amazing how a lot of people land on this website while searching for 'how to convert Tumblr theme to Wordpress' when I don't actually have any tutorials on that.
Good news, POP forums is back on! I'm s glad it is up and running again, I kinda miss posting things there and talking to awesome fellows.Labels: grammar, Nekonette, POP forums, punctuation, spelling, Wordpress theme

Hire me to design your blog!
I offer designing and re-designing of Classic Blogger templates. Examples of my design can be found on my portfolio website.
The basic rate for a design starts from $25 USD. The rate is based on the complexity of the design. The more elaborate the design is, the higher the price is.
How to place your order
Send me an email via the contact form and state clearly how you want your design to be. This includes colour scheme, layout (with or without sidebar, number of columns, etc), any extra features, etc.
Your email should be in this format:

I shall respond to your email within 3 (three) days. Your order will be placed into a Waiting Queue as orders are processed on a first come, first serve basis.
Payment methods
Payment has to be made to either by PayPal, or Moneybookers.
However, if you choose to pay via (international) bank transfer, be aware that you may be charged for the transfer service.
Other important information
Throughout the designing process, I may need to refer back to you for questions/opinions so do check your email frequently. This is to ensure the design can be done as soon as possible.
Depending on the design, your template make take up to over 1 (one) week to finish. You will be informed once the template is done.
I will send you an email requesting for the payment after the template is done. Once the payment is received, I will email you the complete template along with the necessary files.

The designer
Kitty. 29. Blogger, web design hobbyist, compulsive shopper and bibliophile based in Brunei. Enjoys creating and designing websites, dabbling with HTML, CSS and PHP.
I've been blogging since 2005 (or earlier) though my experience with the internet started back in 2000. My main interest is in web design and development. Other times you can see me wrapped around a book or glued to Astronomy and web design magazines.
The website
This website was created in January 2011 and the domain was purchased by me in late December 2010. Initially the website was intended to house tutorials for Classic Blogger/Blogspot only however over the time it has developed into what you see today.
Several of the tutorials and articles can also be found on Nekonette.com, which is the my main website where I mostly blog about my personal life. Also some of the tutorials here have been moved to that website.
