I want to thank whoever it is who nominated Codeislove in TearsHeartSoul Webbie Awards. I feel honoured to have my site nominated for this award. I don't expect to win, but I think it'll be good to throw in some competition to the others. ;)

TearsHeartSoul webbie award

2011 Webbie Awards



Starting tomorrow I will be busy with my graduation ceremony which will take place on next Thursday. I will be having rehearsals for that day and it is imperative for everyone to do it right/correctly on the event day itself because the person who will be handing out the certificates is His Majesty the Sultan himself. So I won't be doing much updates on the site for the next one week or two.

I've also renewed my Cbox subscription. I rarely keep track how long I have before I need to pay for the Premium account. And speaking of Cbox, they have a new product which is the Premium Multithreaded. This new product has more impressive features than the Premium account such as the ability to add new threads for each new article, or user, or group, or event. I'm so tempted to try upgrade my account to the new product but it will cost me a fortune so I decided against it in the end. Blah.

And I still need to do my online paid tasks or otherwise I won't get paid. No money means no more online spending. I better get to it soon.

Ah yes, someone also mentioned that the commenting is not working on Firefox as in even though you click on the 'Post Comment' button, the comment won't be posted/submitted. Is anyone else having this problem?

New layout!

I've decided to put up a new layout for this blog. This time, the theme is based around the element of elegance. I called this new layout Royal Crimson. It's inspired from Osvaldas Valutis' single-page website layout. I haven't totally finished designing it so expect a few changes here and there within these few days. If you have anything to say about this layout, you are most welcome. :)

I shall be making another layout like this (different colour, of course) and submit to Blogskins.com for the competition.

I just want to share with everyone that I will be graduating this September! :D My degree classification is Lower Second Class Honours which means I am qualified to apply for Masters degree (as a matter of fact, I've already handed in my application form last month).

On another note, I've finally finished creating a blogshop template for a client and getting paid for it. I'm hoping more customers would be interested in my website designs. So here's a free plug for my website templates shop!

CREATIV WEBSITE THEMES


I'd probably do a major website overhaul next month for CREATIV, I'm kind of sick with the current layout. Hopefully I'd come up with something sleek and glossy. XD

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:
Name:

Preferred payment method: Paypal/Moneybookers/Payza/Bank transfer to Baiduri bank

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.

All of my designs/templates will come with a credit section. This section must be left intact and you may not remove nor alter them. Resources that come with the designs/templates may not be redistributed or reproduced.

The designer

Kitty

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.
