WordPress theme framework
The more I’m thinking about how to make WordPress more function, the more options I’m adding on it.

Code is poetry

Like WordPress main site mentioned, the code, from CSS to HTML then now, I’m taking JQuery and PHP at the same times. It’s like Friday everyday.

I have been a year I use a framework to speed up my theme development :) How about you? Did you use any framework???

It was like a few weeks ago I changed to the default kubrick WordPress theme as a point of return :P Actually I changed all my blog into the default WordPress theme, cause I am sickening by WordPress design and coding :D

Anyway, I changed all my blog theme into this theme as well, I named it as my_default_theme. I am going to use this theme in all my blog (if any comes out later day). Well, don’t under estimate this theme because:

XHTML/CSS Strict

Clean code
Everything hand coded, structured according to 950 grid system. Standard, I would say, because from the structure to the typeface has standardised according to the common standard online :) Well, I added some CSS3 radius border code, so it gets nasty :P

Clean and neat

Neat even without CSS
Don’t you like to have some breath while reading blogs? I bet those who online read lots of blog as well. Black background white typeface is the worst and I would never even click into it, it hurt my eyes. Now here is one clean shit eh? :lol:

Contrast designed

Contrast and easy to read
Black, grey, white and blue is all the colours here. Don’t need any extra, separate them easily with eyes. Works perfectly (to the disable) without CSS as well. Big and small typeface contrast as well, so now you can quickly get how to read from top to toe ;)

P/S: Shit! This blog has turned into web developement blog!!! Need to stop writing about web and start back my gadget :P

It’s been years I’m looking for a theme that is so simple yet so easy on eyes. Can’t find one? No problem, look for SimplyWP for custom made theme that suit your very own taste. However, I’ve agreed to make it free theme online too. Back to topic.

Since I moved my host again, so I don’t mind about the old blue theme anymore. Instead, I take a lift on my blog to make it more comfortable for myself. Firstly, because I’m gonna stick with this blog for sometimes before I open another blog. (There goes another crazy idea on blog :P ). Secondly, I think this blog had served me well. I’ve been looking into this blog for some tips on Windows XP and forgotten applications for Mac, both works well in this blog, so why not continue it. I believe sooner or later, there will be people finding this site as useful as I am.

As I stated on the previous entry about the changes might come and earth day. I will be shutting down my laptop and get a total darkness in my room for an hour. This would be a good time for me to meditate a little bit about my next big step in my life. Has been surround with some trouble and some dilemma for some times and it’s April soon. Time moved so fast that I need to get anti wrinkle eye cream soon. 25 years old birthday is coming near, and soon, I’ll have some commitment to made :)

Have a great weekend!

I’ve been looking around for a theme that suitable for XP, which I don’t wanna change the OS because the speed and user friendliness that I’m so used to it. Most Vista theme require WindowBlinds or whatever software to make it work on XP.

However, I took some researhco nthe internet and I found the easiest way to do so, nothing fancy, no transparency, no icon changes and all that, all it change was the visual style, hope you understand that. I compile all the softwares and theme which only less than 600KB only. Download here.
Vista
This is the nearest look-alike I got :D

P/S: I DID NOT create any of those files. Someone did, and I don’t know who. Tell me if you know, so I credit them :)
