Paintbits

Hey!

Hi there fellas. I’m away from the City, on vacations in Algarve, Portugal. I don’t have much time or chance to come to the Internet, and will be like that till I return home.

First Light on the Bend – Photo by fortphoto.

I would just like to write, saying that the website might be down in the next days. Why? Because apparently the 100GB Bandwidth Limit I have from the ISP won’t be enough. I’ve been having around 10K visits per day in this week on my Wallpaper posts and that is “sucking” all my bandwidth.

Lumen Reborn is here…

… or part of it! Well, most of the theme is done now. There is still a lot of areas to work on but I guess that can be done in small stages. It’s the sidebar and footer that needs most of the work, but the rest is pretty usable I would say. :)

Updating the theme Part III

Today I spent a bit of my not much free time to code a little more. The theme is undergoing but still much to do. So I don’t know if it will be ready this week. Haven’t yet touched the comments, so they are unformatted.

Anyway, in the above image you can see a short “preview”. I want to be able to code as much as possible the functionalities of the theme so the use of wordpress plugins is limited to the minimum, this of course, expands the time needed to program the theme.

Updating the Theme Part II

Oh well, I’m already working on the new theme. :) Slowly, but getting there :)

I think I will be able to post a small picture of the ongoing theme soon. One thing I can tell you, making a theme from scratch, is a LOT of work. So much stuff to do, so much CSS to write. Anyway is a great process of learning. It is the first theme I’m doing from scratch, since the last one I was using (based on K2) I’ve only wrote the CSS for it.

I plan on posting an article to help those that like me want to create their own wordpress theme. Stay tuned.

Update on Website

Sorry, guys, the website has been down for some days but it’s now on track. Thanks very much to WebHS to allow me to continue to run my blog smoothly.

Sorry! by Maarten Dors.

Kudos and new posts very soon they were on the making before the website went down! And thank you for reading. :)

New Logo

More than one year ago when I decided to start my personal blog that I thought of doing a logo to identify it. There was some big problems coming up with anything presentable. First, I don’t think I’m a good logo design, in fact, I suck at it. Second, time issues. Third (among a big list of infinite reasons) I never came up with anything decent and I still think I haven’t.

I think a logo should be something that quickly identifies your product, I don’t think my logo does that, it’s not a visual representation of my product, but because my blog is a miscellaneous of information I don’t think I could ever come up with something logic, at least for me.

For now this one will do, now I will have to remake my header image… someday, someday…
