Two days of “hard” work and half a day of tweaking and figuring things out and it’s finally done. I call it my “SUMMADY SAVE ME!” theme; “me” being my laptop, Veronica Mars, who had to endure my screams while I worked on this.
I simplified it and it’s my first time to use a one-column theme. The archives will pose as a problem, but what the heck, I’ll deal with it when it’s 2009.
Yay for the pen tool and Xampp, and thank gaaaad I finally got my new cPanel information. All along I thought Dragweb had suspended my FTP and Plesk access for going over my limit. Turns out, they switched to cPanel, changed my username and password, and downgraded my account to a free package. I’ll have to deal with that some other day, seeing that all I’m getting now is a free 30MB plan with 2G of bandwidth. Ooh boy.
Added an FAQ page and changed my About. That’s all. What ya theeenks? I also need to figure out where to place the Flickr plug-in. Or not.
And a picture. Yay, Mr Snowman:

Lookie, nutritional health supplements!

PS I was just looking at your FAQ and I think I know the answer to one of the problems with IE – put this “* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }” in your stylesheet and the default padding in IE will overruled… or whatever you call it..

Which part of the stylesheet, though? I usually use
margin: 0 auto;in the container div. Which reminds me: I didn’t clean up my code. :([Reply]

Any part.. using the star ( * ) means that it aply’s to all coding where something else isn’t mentioned.. I think that should clear up the problem with default padding in IE…

Ah, so proud of you, it looks great :) It’s so cute, loving the mouse-hover effect.

APPRECIATE!!! I WORKED HARD ON THAT, LOL. I knew I knew how to make it work, but it took until yesterday for me to do it.

It’s more minimalist than your previous themes and My eyes keep looking for the nonexistent sidebar. But it’s different so it’s interesting

I’m starting to think that putting the “sidebar” at the bottom was a bad idea :(
[Reply]
February 13th, 2008 at 1:16 am
it’s called “sidebar” for a reason, i reckon :)
[Reply]
February 13th, 2008 at 1:19 am
Aha! But for this theme, I ID’d it bottombar :P
February 13th, 2008 at 1:29 am
I think “sidebar” has a better ring to it but don’t mind me. i have the worst template in the Philippine blogosphere. My sense of aesthetics is totally skewed :)
nice nice =)

Love the new theme, everything looks great. Like the FAQ, the luscious lips answer is great.
[Reply]
Adoring the new theme, it kinda reminds me of Tracy’s cus of the bottom bar. Nice.
[Reply]
February 13th, 2008 at 9:36 am
I wanted something like Tracy’s, akchuly, but I can’t do that…yet. She’s, like, CSS queen :(
[Reply]

Ooh love the new theme! I think the header (shape, composition, overall design) totally matches your personality you portray on your blog. =)
[Reply]
Nice theme Helga.

I like one-column layouts! And you’re a web design student now? Wow, lotsa money there.
[Reply]

[Reply]
Lovin’ the new theme!
[Reply]
It’s gorgeous Helga! I love the colors and the hearts as a line break. Tres cute! I also love what this theme is powered by lol.
[Reply]
I like the whole one column theme. I think it’s real cute. If I saw you in person I’d honestly think you’re full filipina. You have a cool mixed nationality. I think your theme is real cute!
[Reply]
Aww your new theme is so pretty!! I heard of Veronica Mars, but haven’t realy see it very much. At least your host has now finally switched over to using cpanel!
[Reply]
Spectacular! Two thumbs up! A classic! Idolz! Now I want to make my own theme.
[Reply]
I approved your comment and it totally disappeared. I did read it though. I read through the theme editor. There’s coding for a list but I don’t know which one to edit..its in a lot of the coding. I looked around on the i-net and it didn’t have anything. Someone told me to take off the “list” coding but I don’t see it since my theme is premade. BLEH. I’m still trying to LEARN how to make my own themes. YIKES.
[Reply]
helga… this is a nice theme, minimalistic! wohoooo1
[Reply]
love it, but somehow, the theme’s just not you. ermm…
