Edit: Woo! I’ve finally overcome the Irritating Dot problem. I worked around it, using the fantastic god-sent plugin Ultimate Tag Warrior! Boo-yeah. It rocks. Although it looks a little bit odd now, because I don’t have that many blog entries. But, as time goes on, my tag cloud shall become prettier! Muhaha.
As you can see, I finally made a theme :D! Well… Not really made, since I wouldn’t consider it finished yet. There are a few things that need fixing. The header image featuring photographs by Jeurgen Teller, my favourite fashion photographer who rocks so hard it isn’t even funny? Cool. The little grey wings made entirely by me? Cool also. That irritating dot underneath the navigation links?… Not so cool. Maybe if I just ignore it…
I kid, I kid.
Yay! End of term holidays started today. As per usual, I got a ton of holiday homework, but I’m hoping to make a layout for this damn blog. Not getting the time to do so has been like living life with a large hole in my head. I knew it was there, but I couldn’t do anything about it. So, holidays=time, time=site stuff! Woohoo!, and I can patch up this big hole that feels like it’s soon going to take up my entire head. But, I need to get my irritatingly large amount of homework done first.
I was just blogging to say that, so while I’m at it I shall make a list so that everytime I look at my site, I will be reminded of all the stuff I have to do! That was a long sentence. I want to start some good habits as well, these holidays. These very, very short two week holidays.
TO BE COMPLETED IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS:
- Complete passage analysis for Literature [3-4 pages]. Passage: Bypass: Story Of A Road
- Complete Photography essay- Compare & contrast two artists [800-1000 words]. [I’m doing this on Diane Arbus & Juergen Teller for anyone interested, because they rock my lame-o socks]
- Complete English work- Read Deadly, Unna?, complete table, reflect on main characters [Gary’s] growth [spiritual, emotional, physical]
- Drink more water!
- Wrestle with WordPress, make a theme
- Design at least 3-4 more T-Shirts for JaJa inc. [Yes, they thought of a name now :D! Cute, isn’t it?]
That is all! … I think. More to be added as they pop up.
One of the cooler things that I’ve learnt from being a photography student and all, is that my eyes have been opened a whole lot to the world of photography (Yes, there is a world). Maybe, about two years ago, when I wasn’t that interested in photography, I would never understand an article about cameras (”What on Earth is an SLR? DSLR?!”) such as this one. But now, I’m reading it and it all makes perfect sense. Makes me feel satisfied and happy XD. Reading that makes me want a DSLR soooo bad! But I guess I’ll just have to make do with my humble traditional SLR, Rufus *pets his non-existent head*.
Actually, I was talking to a friend and we happened to go on about DSLRs. I said that I really really wanted one, but they’re so expensive so blah blah blah. She said “But traditional would be better, wouldn’t it?” and she went on to say that it’d be more… Authentic to develop your photos by hand. In a darkroom.
My brain went “WTF?” and then I realised. That’s what it looks like, to people who don’t do photography (She didn’t). Someone in a dark room calmly doing all those ‘fiddly photographer things’. Being all artsy. Haha. When I’m in the darkroom I get all pissy if my prints don’t turn out right. And then I yell at people who don’t make test strips. Artsy, indeed! XD
&, because a blog without pictures is like a painting without colour, I leave you all with this Very Cute Random Image. Funny how I didn’t follow that bit of philosophy earlier. Click to see a larger version. [For an idea of how small the animal is, the crown on it’s head is a ring]
Yaaay! Wordpress! For the next few days I’ll try modding it and stuff, and changing the appearance, so sorry affies for not having you linked up yet :)! I used this great site, Install4Free, that installs wordpress fully and everything. Now I just have to learn how to add pages… And make/customise themes XD. But, for now, please be patient while I try fixing this up. Read the rest…
