I’m exhausted. I just configured an entire community’s group blog with a lot of things that I didn’t even know existed but I know they will love. See the fruits of my labor and give me a hug. I am in definite need of one.

And yes, that’s a premade theme I downloaded from the Wordpress library. I quite like it, and all the other members like it too so we decided to use it. *shrugs* This is me being lazy, so lazy that I wouldn’t have been able to update here if not for the miraculous wonder of the timestamp that lets me post in advance. I know, it’s cheating. =)

I do have to say that when I decide to do something, I do it all out. I had to upgrade that blog from 1.5 to 2.0.4, choose a suitable theme, download and install various plgins and only then was I able to customize it as I liked. I even managed to write a primer on How to Post a Blog Entry in Wordpress because some got confused in posting.

Sigh. So here’s a comfort picture for you and me, to make us smile at the end of the day. Die from the cuteness? ^^”

Just in case you haven’t noticed, I finally finished some of the sections from before on Painted Wings. Among these are the Wallpapers section, Blinkies section, Winamp skins, and the yet-to-be-completed Notepaper section. yes, I’ve been quite busy. I think it was high time I put the former graphcis back up again so I can concentrate on making new ones.

As for the Layouts section, it;s coming in slowly because I decided to handpick some of the old layouts, and then validated them in both XHTML and CSS first before I post them up for download. It would be better for everyone that way so learning validation will be easy.

I also managed to find some of the better avatars we had before, like the one you see I’m using today.

Also added some new Wordpress plugins. I’m feeling lazy to I’ll just list them.

• Smilies for the comments section
• the Breadcrumb script (yum! ^^)
• optimal title
• slug trimmer
• Flickr Photo Gallery (which I have yet to figure out)

I am scared.

Why?

Because I did something really crazy.

Momentary insanity, I tell you.

I don’t know what I was thinking. I keep wanting to bang my head on the wall or run around in my building screaming my head off. I can only hide in the excuse of ‘momentary insanity’ and the excessive ‘trigger-clicking’ on my mouse that led to this. There is no other excuse. I will have to find a rehabiliation center that specializes in treating nutcases like me. So if you don’t see an update here for a few weeks, you know where I am.

*cough*

Ok, now that my alter ego has had her say, I’d like to look at this more objectively (did I just say more? *cough*)
