Working on a new layout

Posted by Bernadet

Hi people! I`ve been wanting to make a new layout for a while now, one which is more of me and less of other people`s ideas. So right now the basic wordpress layout is back up again and over the next few days/weeks/however long it may take me, you`ll see the layout changing into something which fits my style and is hopefully very pretty. Meanwhile I`ll continue making weak attempts to keep this blog updated.

Kthnxbai,
Bernadet

I fail at life

Posted by Bernadet

I just spend a looong time staring at a puzzle in professor layton until I discovered that I`d be counting wrong all the time. I`d managed to think that there were 100 mm in a cm, while there are obviously only 10mm in a cm. I fail…big time.

Anyway, I`m finally starting to get a little less stressed now my internship is coming to an end and I have a few less duties on the plaza. At times, I`ve even got spare time left. It`s not much though…but at least it`s something.

Having a bit of spare time also meant that I finally found some time to work on new 3d art again! The next one is a work in progress, I don`t think I`m quite done with her yet so I won`t add her to the digital art page yet. I just wanted to give you a little something to look at.

I`m also considering to write a tutorial on how to make these. (I`d give away my secret of how easy it actually is though *g*). Would anyone be interested in this?

Digital Art page remodeled

Posted by Bernadet

As you might have noticed some things have been changed about the site lately. I have added adsense blocks in an attempt to earn some money with my blog. Even if it`s just a few dollars a year I`d be happy. Tell me if they are too annoying though and I`ll remove them. I tried picking the smallest size possible to keep them from being too obtrusive, I hope I succeeded.

Another thing I have quite drastically changed is the Digital Art page. A lot of the art on that page was outdated, stuff I made when I only just started doing 3d art years ago. When I looked at them I was embarrassed of them, and though I quite often heard that they were pretty I just didn`t want to show them anymore. So from now on only the more recent art can be seen there or the older art which I can live with (though that probably won`t stay long either…I`m just waiting till I have enough new content to fill a page). I also divided the art by categories and I have increased the size of a thumbnail from 100×100 to 150×150 so you guys can see the preview a bit better.

Unfortunately, no one has clicked the pictures yet since I changed it while they used to be clicked quite often before I changed it. Did you guys like the old design better? Is that why you stopped clicking? Or do you no longer feel the need to click them since the preview is big enough to see the image. Please comment and if the general opinion is that the old design was better I`ll change it back *hugs*

Also, my internship only lasts for two more weeks so in two weeks I`ll finally be able to get more active online again. I can`t wait to return to full activity on the plaza. What I can`t wait for either is the halloween icons! I`m sooo curious as to which icons we`ll get for halloween. I`m desperately hoping for True Blood, but unfortunately I have little hope for it since the show is a _bit_ mature :P

New layout once again

Posted by Bernadet

As you might have noticed we once again have a new layout. I loved the previous layout but it turned out the comment function didn`t seem to work and because of all the nice scripts it had the blog was slow. Very, very slow.

So now I`ve gone for a layout which matches the randomness of our blog better, and on which I can show a bit of my art on the front page (the polaroids. It`s a script which shows a random image I made). I`ve noticed this new layout does give me less trafic, but the people who do visit look at more pages. So I guess the layout has it`s ups and downs.

You can comment by clicking the text balloon thingy…I still have to work on getting that a bit clearer. Also, my internship will be over in two weeks so then I might finally have the time to make my own layout (so maybe we`ll change again in a few weeks)

Please comment about the layout, what does and doesn`t work, what could be improved etc!

New Layout

Posted by Bernadet

You may wonder why Kawaiipixel looks entirely different? I can try to be cool and say that I meant it to be like this…but that would be lying. I messed around in the code of the previous layout too much without making a backup and I f*cked it up. It died.

So now I downloaded this new one, which I actually like a lot. It has a lot of nifty options which the previous one did not have and which I will probably never use…but it does have them! And the comments are displayed nicely, my own comments are even highlighted now *ooohs*.

I`m thinking of keeping this layout and modifying it to my liking (probably some different colours or at least a logo :P )
