I love it when a plan comes together
Is this thing on?! Hello? Anybody there? Look’s like it’s working fine!
Alright then, the site’s up and running and it’s my first time coding up a theme from scratch!
One thing I learnt about themes is that it’s much easier building one up from the ground than editing an existing theme. How many of you guys have ever tried taking something apart and tried to put it back again, only to find out it looks totally different from before? I bet there are a couple here.
Taking a theme apart reverse engineer and try to understand the tons of code from the developer take up precious time and does not really benefit me in learning more about themes. Building up a theme allows me to have greater flexibility and also control on over the things I want and how I want it to be displayed. It’s amazing how much things you can do to themes.
Mockup above!
Currently, the home, products, gallery and contact pages are up and running and it simply looks great! I’m pretty happy with how it turned out although there are some parts here and there that needs a little improvement. Just write your posts and tag them in their respective categories – e.g Books goes into the category “Products”. Please use only the following categories; News, Products, Events. You can further tag them using ‘Post Tags’.
Of course, building a theme does not mean it’s bound to be successful overnight. That’s where you guys come in! I need user feedback on the theme so as to improve on future revisions of the theme. Leave a comment here and I’ll be more than happy to take a look.
P.S It’s been a long time since I’ve written on a blog. This feeling of nostalgia is pretty interesting indeed

#CDS0022: Starry * Night

AFA X: Invasion of the invaders
As I said in an earlier post, AFA meant a lot of things for different people. You will either like it a lot or you might find it disappointing. Some will find faults while others will just gush about how wonderful EVERYTHING is. You should probably read everything before coming to an opinion. AFA X isn’t perfect even if the organizers deserves credit for pulling it off. Now, we shall not dwell upon these serious stuffs since that’s probably not what you are really here for, deshou?
For us at CDS, AFA X was fun. Truly, truly, sincerely fun. And perhaps, for us, that is what matters most.
Double penetration weekend!
This coming weekend (which is tomorrow actually. Late post is late.), we will witness an epic clash of events. For some reason, mega animanga show Mascot Parade will happen on Saturday over at *Scape Park, Orchard, while old cosplayers’-favorite event, Cosfest IX will be happening over the weekend at Downtown East. Which one to go to? The animanga community questions itself. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
I have noticed that images would automatically align to the left of a post. Am working to get that fixed!
Center align seems fixed
lol, looks like its working properly now, only area left is the links menu, but i think you can remove that as its already at the bottom and the side of the page
Hell yeah. It’s about time. *space marine blasts off*
:O How did you write it? What language? I need to make a new theme too ;_;
@Muzhyrulez: The theme’s coded using PHP, CSS and a bit of HTML. Check this guide to get you started. http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-themes-templates-tutorial/
Yeah it’s abt time we changed the top banner =X
Thanks, time to get cracking on my own template now
