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

Fantasy Photobooth #mangaphoto
It started as an inconspicuous email. The requirements looked easy on (digital) paper but we probably got more than what we bargained for. Not that it was a poor experience. It was incredibly stressful, tense and wrist-numbing. But at the end of it all, we got a good insight into how the advertising industry work and yes, it was fun. As much as there were moments when we felt like giving up or making a run for it, there were moments that were fun and rewarding. Throw in the satisfying feeling of triumph when the day ended and we survived the challenge, and it all made for a great experience for all of us involved.

Facebook. Love it or hate it, you can’t escape from it. Some of the CDS artists such as Xeph, GreenTeaNeko or IdleErrant (previously Manzart) have embraced Facebook. Others, such as Semi-Shigure had insisted on keeping out of that damn privacy-invading website. And you have lurkers such as WaHa who will visit the CDS Facebook but still refuse to ‘like’ it.
Ever since I, Komicer, figured out social media, CDS has been quite active among all the various platforms. Other than Google+; that one still confounds me. However, out of all, Facebook is where we are most active and where we share tons of the things that we are doing while NOT preparing for Cosfest X.2.
Recently, our Facebook hit a new milestone. Within a span of 2-3 years, we have finally hit 1000 fans. It’s not much compared to AFA or even others such as Ani-Culture or Radiantdreamer. But hey, it’s a nice milestone for all of us and calls for some celebration (and freebies)! (more…)
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/
