Because of my absence in the web for the past days due to a sudden fever, I didn’t get to see the announcement for the new release of Wordpress 2.0.5 till today, three days after the fact. Nevertheless, I went to the site to download the latest version and read the instructions on how to upgrade from my current version.

Well, safe to say that I won’t be upgrading my Wordpress any day this week.

A small minority of WP users have experienced 500 Internal Server error messages after upgrading to 2.0.5. For a fix see server 500 error fix.

Finally! Freedom! I made a new theme because I really wanted a new one; something bright and fun! It wasn’t my intention to make one. It just happened as I was creating a freeware layout for the anime series Chobits. I loved the color scheme I used in that web layout so the next thing I knew, I was creating a new layout for Swordian.

Unlike the previous Swordian themes, this one is less graphically oriented; it is focused more on color schemes and typography – the reason for the various font styles, and why I deviated from my Verdana-adamant self. I only knew now that the numbers in Georgia font get depressed on web layouts. ^^

I’ll tweak it a bit partly because the date section looks a bit awkward for me. I’m uploading it as is, though I tested it offline in both IE and Firefox, I don’t know if there will be some bugs. If there are, I’ll take care of them tomorrow. Too lazy tonight. ^^

I decided to take a few days off from blogging, as you can see. Well, not necessary ‘decided to take a break.’ More like ‘procrastinated to post until the threat of death was issued.’ There goes my eternal sin of procrastination again.

So I took the time to look over my stats and what are the most searched keywords in the site. For months now, the top keywords were always ‘avatars’ or ‘full moon [wo sagashite]‘ which was nice to know. But a week before a sudden onslaught of keywords kept popping up on my stats. It had only two words.

Vampire Knight.

My mind blurted ‘What the hell?!’ That is among one of my top keywords and I only posted two sort entries about that manga?

I look over at Google and saw that there are over 4 million sites that talk about the manga Vampire Knight. And where is my post in that muddle of 4 million? I’m in the top 20!

*searches through Google again to check*

*looks around unexpectedly*

*sighs*

I guess the popularity of Zero Kiriyuu is not to be underestimated! ^^
