Mufflednoise Presents: My Playground

So, after days of toil, neglecting Plurk, and having CSS monsters invade my dreams, My Playground is finally up! Click the image to visit!

My Playground

2 reasons this is a big thing for me:

  1. It’s my new artsy blog, where I’ll be posting all my art-and-design-related works. I mirrored a couple of posts there already.
  2. I made the theme almost from scratch! It’s my first attempt at making a Wordpress theme! Consider it a Beta stage, because the CSS is really messy, and I’m guessing I’ll still find some bugs in there.

I actually put up that subdomain as a test blog for my current Wordpress theme, but after I’d finished it, the space was just staring at me — calling out to me like a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese (yes, I found a way to bring it up again). And so after a few days, I stood up, burst through the neighbor’s door and shouted “I’ll do it!”. Okay I just made that last part up, but hey I did it, didn’t I? :D

So what’s this really about? It all started when I was two years old. I’d discovered the magic of paper and the yellow stick that could mysteriously leave marks on the paper. Later, I called the stick “pencil” and all 20 years after that lead up to this exact moment. The big “tada”, the “here we go”, the “you really gotta pull through with this one” moment.

Oh btw, if you find any serious browser problems (I only tested it on FF3 and IE7) please let this amateur know! I can give you +0.9 Plurk Karma for it. Er, no I can’t, but I hope you’ll do it anyway. Thankeeee. :D
