teddY-risatioN™
I started blogging on the 1st of July, 2004. It was quite out of a blue - I stumbled upon my friend registering for an account on Blogger and I asked him what was that about. Blog sounds so unfamiliar to me back then - what should I write, who should read what I should be writing? So I started off writing generally everything about my schooling experience, which can be quite boring to you. I joined several blog networking sites, got to know a few webfriends.
When this blog turned one, I pleaded my parents to get me a domain name, and they did - teddy-o-ted.com. It was my idea though, stemmed from my pseudonym teddY. Later the blog name changed to teddY-risatioN but I was already too involved to switch domain.
Now I’ve found my niche in blogging - generally writing about Photoshop and CSS design, publishing my photos, and occasionally writing little tutorials about Photoshop and CSS. Oh, and I usually create a new Wordpress theme for my blog every year. It’s turning into something like an annual ritural for me.
Wordpress themes
I’m sorry to say this but my themes are not available because they are very highly customised for my own use (sometimes I just hardcode links into the theme file without using standard php experssions recommended by Wordpress codex). I always try to make my designs XHTML and CSS valid.
teddY-risatioN™ Delta - current theme
A total facelift for my blog. After getting tired of the previous theme that inherited most of the CSS styling from older themes (and thus the rather out-dated appearance), I’ve decided to create a new theme. Instead of trying in vain to get the php codes correct, I’ve used the Wordpress Sandbox Theme as my starting point - all I did was just to insert CSS styles into the blank stylesheet. The icon navigation system was inspired by Adobe’s move to redesign it’s icons.
teddY-risatioN™ Gamma
A theme designed groud-up with an idea of bringing colours and photos to my readers. This explains the rotating header image which is selected from 20 (and counting) images randomly. Six random flickr photos from my account are also displayed everytime you load the page. This theme forgoes 800*600 screen resolution compatiblity to accomodate a larger post container for wider (and larger!) photos.
teddY-risatioN™ Beta
With a code-name of Colour Burst, this theme aims to highlight post content by using a relatively darker backgroud. This theme is the first which incorporates a random Flickr image display on the header section. Significant changes from the previous theme are the revamped footer and header section. This theme is the last one that retains 800*600 compatibility. The very first XHTML valid theme.
teddY-risatioN™ Alpha
Restyled and recoded groud-up and does not inhertied the old design of the previous two themes. Inspired by the Phoenix Wordpress theme by N.Design Studio, the header section heavily resembles the original design but I’ve changed the details slightly to fit my personal preferences. The background is actually hand-drawn by me and subsequently scanned and photoshopped for the final fade-off effects.
teddY-risatioN™ Blue
My second customised Wordpress theme, I’ve centered the colour scheme around one of my favourite colours - blue. I’ve incorporated a new navigation bar at the top of the page, with some interesting rollover effects using CSS. However, some people find the list of link rather spam-looking (I quite agree with that, it looks like some ad!), that’s why I’ve removed it for future themes.
teddY-risatioN™ Green
My very first self-customised Wordpress theme, based on my (rather limited) knowledge in CSS. The general layout and apperance are inspired by looking at Veerle’s blog theme, I find it clean and elegant. Of course I didn’t do a great job afterall, but hey, there’s something called first time for everyone huh? I’ve chosen the colour scheme green after finding that it actually quite suits the overall feel of the layout.
