I don't really have much to say in this post actually. Lulz.
I was feeling tad bored last night so I made this:
I know it's not exactly the best pixel button you've seen as this is my first attempt in pixeling, but believe me, I tried. I envy those who can make gorgeous pixel graphics. I wish I can be half as good as them. Anyway, you guys can now use that button to link back to this website. :D

Last night I received a request from someone to revamp her blog design for her. I wasn't actually planning to agree to this but somehow I felt bad if I didn't (I blame my Leo characteristic, LOL!). So I spent the whole night designing a new layout for her. Here's a screenshot of what it's like:

Okay, this tutorial is going to walk you step by step on how to code a two-column Classic Blogger layout. This tutorial will use minimum styling as the main focus is not on the design but on the template structure itself.
Important: I am assuming you already have the knowledge of the basic structure of HTML document, but if you don't, I suggest you to do some reading before attempting to follow this tutorial as I do not have the time to teach the basic to each and everyone who asked. Also, a basic knowledge of CSS would be beneficial. For reference, you can check out the CSS tutorial here. Read more »Labels: Classic Blogger layout, tutorial

I was reading a thread on Blogskins.com on 'bad-ass' website layouts. Seriously, I have no cladding idea what 'bad-ass' layouts are. There's no clear cut definition provided and for heaven's sake, it could refer to anything.

I'm currently reading another awesome artwork by Kamijyo Akimine. After Samurai Deeper Kyo, Code: Breaker is indeed a great manga worth reading. The awesome thing about Code: Breaker is that it draws some elements from Samurai Deeper Kyo. Some parts in Code: Breaker are similar to SDK. In fact, more than a few of the characters' appearance, their personalities, as well as the plot lines resemble SDK. I can't help ending up comparing the two! LOL.
By the way, did I mention I bought another domain name? Yeah, well I did. I've been drooling for this one for quite some time and I was waiting for it to become available. Fuck yeah, I got it now! There's another one I'm aiming at, but that has to wait for another time. Lulz.Labels: Code: Breaker, domain name, manga, Samurai Deeper Kyo

I've been blogging for close to 4 years now. My internet life, of course, started much earlier than that but I only started to relate with people through blogging since 2007. I didn't start off with Blogger. I began building websites on Geocities. Ror those who has not heard of Geocities, it's practically where the geeks from the 1990s built their websites, I'm not kidding. In fact, if you are someone who's been around the interwebs in the early 2000 and never heard of Geocities, you'd get responses like, "You've NEVER heard of Geocities!? Where have you been all this time?" So yeah, Geocities was such a big thing back then.
Anyway, Blogger only came into my life sometime later. I've designed countless layouts, and experimented with the tags. But after all these years, I still don't know what my fellow bloggers think and feel about me.
I have one domain name that is expiring on 28/6/2011 and I don't plan to renew it: thepandamonium.info So if you're interested in this domain, let me know, and I'll push it to you (you must have Namecheap account) and you can renew it yourself.Labels: domain name, Geocities, random

This tutorial is dedicated especially to Susan since she asked how to add Twitter tweets into the blog.
There are different ways on how to display tweets on your website/blog. The easiest is by making use of the widget that has been provided by Twitter. However, some people prefer to style the tweets in their own way and the Twitter widget sometimes don't blend into the layout nicely (it could look ugly too).
Fortunately, we can make use of the Twitter's twitterCallback Javascript function to generate the tweets.
This tutorial is divided into two, one is for New Blogger and the other for Classic Blogger.
Display tweets on New Blogger
Step 1
Copy the following codes:
<div id="twitter_update_list"></div>
<script src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/USERNAME.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1" type="text/javascript"></script>
Step 2
Open your dashboard and go to Design > Page Elements > Add gadget. Pick HTML/Javascript and paste the codes there. Save!
You can position the gadget wherever you like.
Display tweets on Classic Blogger
Step 1
Copy the following codes:
<div id="twitter_update_list"></div>
<script src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/USERNAME.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=1" type="text/javascript"></script>
Step 2
Open your dashboard and go to Template > Edit HTML. Paste the codes anywhere you like. Save.
Now remember to replace USERNAME with your Twitter username.
In the code snippet above, there's this line 'count=1'. The number refers to the number of tweets you want to display. So if you want the latest 3 tweets to be displayed, change it to count=3.
You can style <div id="twitter_update_list"></div> any way you like, but that line must not be removed otherwise the tweets will not be displayed. How this works is that, when the Javascript loads, anything inside <div id="twitter_update_list"></div> will be replaced with the tweets.
If you want more than 1 tweet to be displayed and you want the tweets to be organised into a list, replace div with ul, so that it would look like this instead:
<ul id="twitter_update_list"></ul>

This is a relatively easy tutorial on how to add the Follow button into your blog.
Step 1
Open your text editor (e.g. Notepad) and type on this code:
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/follow-blog.g?blogID=YOUR-BLOG-ID" target="_blank"><img src="http://i52.tinypic.com/2rppgjk.jpg" border="0" title="Follow Me on Blogger" /></a>
* You can remove the code for the follow image if you don't want to include it
Replace the YOUR-BLOG-ID text with the ID of your blog. Your blog ID can be found from your dashboard:
Step 2
Copy the code above and paste it into your Blogger HTML template, anywhere you want the link to appear. Save!Labels: Follow button, tutorial

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, AlertPay/Payza or Moneybookers.
However, if you choose to pay via (international) bank transfer, you are 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. 25. Blogger, web designer, procrastinator and bibliophile based in Brunei. Enjoys creating and designing websites, dabbling with HTML, CSS and PHP.
Among the interwebs community, I am generally known as Kitty. I hold a bachelor degree in Social Science Education, majoring in History and currently I am pursuing a Masters degree in South East Asian Studies. I enjoy talking to my online friends. You could say I have more friends in the cyberworld than in real life. Because it is easier for me to talk to people without looking at them in the face; I'm a shy person and I'm very self-conscious on how I look. I don't know what people think about me so I'd leave that to you to figure out yourself.
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.
