Blogskins.com is once again free for signups. So for those of you who had been lamenting on how Myles (Blogskins.com owner-cum-administrator) decided to impose fees for signups as a measure to combat the ever-vigilant spammers, this is good news for you. So if you want an account on Blogskins.com, I suggest you guys sign up as soon as you can because there's no telling when Myles will change his mind again. In fact, as Myles said it, it was only an hour since he took down the payment system and spammers have gone to attack the website again. Seriously, Myles need to employ a different strategy here.

I'm currently working on a new layout for my portfolio website. I'm thinking of going for something simple yet vibrant. The problem to that is I am out of ideas on how to create it. The past week has been spent on researching for the right colour schemes (blessyouColourloversdotcom) as well as experimenting on the right template.

On top of that, I'm considering of letting go of some of my domains. In fact, I've let some of them expired already. I'm just too lazy to renew them and plus, I need to save up some dosh. However, I am keeping the primary domains: Nekonette.com, Amalina.org, Kitty-Kat.org as well as some websites which are hosted under those domains. And I've also renewed Codeislove.net and Amalinakasim.com for another year. Codeislove is due to expire in mid-December and since I won't be around the computer during that time so I might as well renew it now.

On another note, I'm confirmed to visit Peninsular Malaysia with my family (specifically to Ipoh, Perak) on the 2nd of January 2012. I'd be staying there for a week to help my sister to settle down since she will be staying in Ipoh for her work attachment for about 14 weeks.

I thought blogskins is forever free...hmmm. I found it hard to edit the elements of the layout there. That's why i just use the blogger default layout.

it's pretty annoying to see those new skinners uploading the same old layout and praising each other when they all made a layout from the same template given by the same person =.= I'm thinking of moving my layouts somewhere else, but I don't know how to add the widget that can count the downloads of all the layouts~

January?? well, if I'm not posted too far, I might be welcoming you at the KLIA.. can I? hehehe~

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:
Design: Please give detailed explanation on how you want your template to look like
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.
