…of editing this site. If you notice odd features throughout the site, that well, you usually wouldn’t, it is because I’m in the middle of “re-designing” and also “editing” the site.

For quite some time now, I’ve been telling myself that I will finally create a custom design for my poor template-based website. I have yet to do that and its only because I have no inspiration to do so. I’m not sure why though? In the past, visitors to my site always complained to me about how I would change my layouts every week and if I had ever actually left one up for more then that! Now it’s like; Yay you changed the layout, but to another crappy premade WordPress template…not so great.

Like most people I try visiting CSS galleries and other’s website to find that “OMG instant inspiration”, but it just doesn’t come to me. I’m wondering if maybe my creative juices are just being sucked up by me working on client websites? Makes sense and then it doesn’t, right?

Well, I dunno. I just felt like ranting about this, since it have been on my mind for quite sometime and hopefully SOON everyone can see a much tasteful layout then the normal template. =(

Question of the day: What helps inspire you to create a new layout for your website?

PS: YAY! Barack Obama is president! =D

Yea, instead of writer’s block, I’m having more of a blogger’s block. Nothing too interesting has happened in my life worth talking about and nothing too interesting has happened in general for me to talk about, so please excuse me for the lack of blogging here.

Well, let’s see…

I’ve actually been working on WHMCS (web host manager: complete solution) and tweaking it to my liking. At first, its a little tricky to use, but once you start mess around with it more, the better understanding or feel you have for it. Hopefully I can make an awesome WHMCS template like the ones on mywhmcs.com. One day, when I’m not lazy…haha.

I’m also thinking of scrapping WordPress. I’ve been practicing more on my CSS based designing and think that it is time to get back into making and coding my own layouts. I’m tired of tweaking templates to my liking and don’t feel like creating my own for WordPress either. Anyways, I liked coding my own layouts much better and had fun doing it. Believe it or not, but I got many more hits and visitors when I did it then too, not that I’m all about the hits and what not…lol. >_>
