Damn that was a long time since my verson 6 of Dodski was online. And it’s been so long with no posting article and tutorials here in my blog. I got busy because of work, planning for this new design, and other personal stuffs and projects. I do have lots of tutorials coming up my head but I just don’t have the time to make one. Lazyness is part of it. I also have one big project coming and i’m gonna be busy again. Hope I can create my own new css tutorials soon. I’m going to make lots of css tutorials coz I also want to share of what I have learn through self study.

My WordPress is now version 2.7 and it’s a relief that I have switched to a latest version so it would be easier for me to navigate, faster, very refreshing color scheme. heheh My plugins are updates, and others were deleted because I no longer need it.

With new Design for the main page, now the blog is same as my main page and a new tabular layer at the sidebar, Twitter switched to a one line post, Flickr is removed, added new search tool for you to search entries in my blog, and Cform plugin in my contact form to be added soon.

Finally I have made my own WordPress as a CMS. The title of the site is my full name. Visit www.ritchielinao.com and take a look. For lock of updates here in my blog, I’ve been researching for a good function reference for me to use by customizing WordPress into CMS. It really took me so long to customize the template coz I need to test the functions if it’s working fine. I made the site only for my personal, freelance and life stream blog. The portfolio I showcase in my new site are websites. There will be no Photo Manipulation and Illustration in the new site.
