Beautiful Insanity

Well, I tried to integrate Enthusiast 3 with WP, and it was a pain, so I gave up on it. I am building a new list of the fanlistings I’ve joined at this page, making use of WP’s links feature. However, I think it might be better to do this with custom post types and taxonomies for better control. So, if anybody shows interest, I’ll actually take my time to work on it and distribute it as a plugin.

Still, note that the focus will be on listing the fanlistings themselves, not hosting fanlisting sites; I think the latter would be a waste of time, with so many good fanlisting scripts out there, such as Dee’s awesome vs.hive. Plus, you can easily build your own with WordPress itself (I can probably write an entry with my thoughts on this later). So, yeah. If you’re interested, please let me know. The more people who show up, the more motivated I will be. ;)

Edit: So, regardless of no interest being shown yet, I started working on this out of my own need for it, and it’s coming along nicely. In fact, the custom post type and taxonomy was piece of cake (nothing but a couple of hooks and functions), but now I must make the proper templates and shortcodes to display the fanlistings.

See? For real.

UPDATE:

Update: This is how it looks now.

Bye bye, ol' layout! *hugs*

So, I saw this pattern at ColourLovers, and thought it was cute; and for some reason I felt like making a theme off it. And here it is! While not 100% finished, it looks good enough to be used, I suppose… Let me know what you think. It’s a quite simple theme. Oh, by the way, I’m using the Hybrid theme as a base for my latest themes. I’ve made 3 now with this one. The other two, however, are for work.

Anyway, I decided to add some content to my main site, that, for a very long time, has been scattered over many different places. I’m going to take advantage of WP’s latest features, such as the gallery one, to put some of my art and photos on display in their own dedicated pages.

Among the art, there will be some really old pixel dolls, bases, outlines, spritesets and the like, not only for nostalgia’s sake, but also to remind myself of trying to make some more of those in the near future. I want to get back in touch with the old dolling community. I miss it a lot. There will also be some adoptables of my own (up for adoption, of course), and ones I have collected from other sites, too. Visitors are welcome to adopt any of my old stuff, by the way. Finally, there’ll also be some simple layouts/designs as freebies, for anyone who’s interested. These will be good for DiaryLand diaries, small Web sites and such, and also to modify them as you see fit, learn from them, yada yada… I hope you’ll like them.

Let’s see, what else… If I ever release any other stuff that can be shared, it’ll be there for sure.

As for the photo galleries, well, there’ll be a tribute gallery for Chimi (love you, meow meow…), one for my other cats, Cindy and Blackie, and one for my collection of dolls and other toys. And who knows what else…

Furthermore, the links section will be completely revamped, and so will be the other currently existing pages. I want to clean this up well. Even if it’s not my professional blog/site, anyone can come in, and I want to let them know that I’m up to date, and that I care for my own sites. I want them to see what I’m capable of, not only through my professional works, but through the personal ones as well.

Well, I guess that’s all for now. It’s time to wash the dishes, and to rest my arm, because it’s been hurting for like 12 hours now. I should give myself a break from the computer. This is not healthy…

See you around! *hugs* :D
