Pulling VERY Much Hair

Posted by Oskar Syahbana

Okay, I promised that I will bring in new design to this blog along with much awaited (self-proclaimed) new articles both about my trips and about stock market. For the last couple of days, I’m pulling out very much of my hair in act of desperation on rolling the new design out of the sandbox.

The problem with a pure CSS theme is, well, it’s pretty hard to design a good theme if you’re not a CSS guru. Hell, I’m not one, even my past themes are modified from existing one. In short, I can’t promise you anything new on the design part (let alone a pure-CSSed design). However, I’m still working on a new design (a simpler one than current design).

And as for the articles, I’ve decided to round up my trip’s article on a one 4-5 article series. It will take a while to write it but I promised that it will be done no later than Sunday. The same goes to financial market (and business) related articles. They will be done at the least on Sunday.

Now let me get back to the hair pulling activity of web design.

Edit: I officially gave up on designing a new interface for this web myself. Probably this just isn’t my thing. The new design came up for several minutes on this site and I felt that it doesn’t belong here (and I have some problem with image formatting and such). I’ll just turn it to the pro in the future.

[...] I have attempted a re-design last month and it totally blew off. But this time I really had a good feeling that everything might laid out just as planned. More readable sites with a strong identity (hopefully — it’s pretty ‘white’ though), easier on the eye, and easier to navigate. I’m going to do that today so I can’t post anything about the US stock market today since my eyes are going to be fixated on design project rather than glued to price ticker monitor. [...]
