More changes

I decided to play around with the template again to improve the design...and it worked!! I was overjoyed when I could place my Flickr photo as a background, and I added new headers, all done in Photoshop. Well, hope you like the finishing touches to my new blog skin.

Oh, and it's now very very different from the original Blogger template...and I'm no longer afraid of html. Self teaching. It works wonders.

Back to school

The term has started once again, and it's back to routine. The homework craze is here to haunt us again, together with the menacing tests. Well, despite all the stress, I do not feel stress.

We must learn to put our anxiety and worries away and trust God instead. I have made a resolution this term to stay close to the Lord, and to have complete faith in him that he will 'make all things right', for in 1 John 4:4 He says that the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world, now that we have received the power of the Holy Spirit.

Recently I been listening to Chris Tomlin's album Arriving, and it's a fantastically simple album with easy listening songs. However, the simplicity of the words retain their deep and everlasting meaning, proclaiming about God's eternal promises and praising His wondrous name.


I have been working on my PowerPoint animation too, albeit at an extremely slow pace. It would be a miracle if I can meet my July deadline for the release of it.

This is my half completed A380 landing:


Hope you like it.

How it should look like

To all you Windows users out there using Internet Explorer to view my blog:
What you see on IE is not how my new skin is intended to look like.

It's best viewed on Safari or FireFox.

This is how it should really look like (on Safari):



Thanks

Revamped

Welcome everybody!!!!...to my edited, revised skin. The holidays is the only time I can do stuff like these…and this was purposely planned inside my schedule, or else you’d never see this get done.

I had just finished my web design html and dreamweaver course, so I thought it would be good to put what I had learnt into practice. But to tell you the truth, the course was rather disappointing. Only the basics were covered, and I didn’t learnt as much as I anticipated.

I find that the best way to learn html is to learn from practice. The process of editing my skin has taught me quite a bit.

Anyways, hope you like my new skin. I have changed it quite a lot, although it still has the same feel. Got it a new URL, because I was just thinking to myself that ianho.blogspot.com is just too lame. Well, you are all asking just what is ‘nai-oh’. Haha…figure that out yourself.

FYI, the old blog (www.ianho.blogspot.com) will not be updated anymore. It will just serve as a link to my new site for those who do not know my new site.

Inserted a picture for my header for the first time, changed the colour, increased the font size, re-sized and re-coloured my tag board, inserted my picture in under profile, reorganized my links, recoloured my flickr badge, got the flickr daily zeitgeist, added some more buttons in, reset my counter, got rid of the irritating and distracting navbar on top, got a search bar, changed the 'I power Blogger' button to my own, and most of all, this is the greatest bit of all: if you were to scroll down my sidebar right to the bottom, you can see a Macintosh ad! Haha…

And somehow it’s weird that after I redo my skin, immediately people start to visit my blog…haha…now I know…want to attract visitors? Change your skin!

Oh, and the hols are quickly gonna be over. I better get mugging.
