Amour Chaleur

I’ve been so engrossed with fixing this layout that for the first time in weeks, I slept at nearly 4am. o.O I decided a new layout is necessary not because I was bored of the previous one but because I think I need something new to “freshen up” the entire site. This blog hasn’t been very active lately because most of my time had been spent on last minute revisions for the upcoming examinations. I had a few other ideas for the new layout but the “Candy House” idea was my final pick.

Frequent visitors of my blog would know that I usually don’t change any of the comments design because I’m always at a lack of ideas (okay, I admit I’m lazy). This design is one of the simpler ones without much details. I didn’t have much time on hand to work on this. The entire layout took me about 6 hours and I didn’t do any detailed cross browsers checks either. I did a quick check in Opera, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari. It seems all right hence if you notice any issues, please let me know. :)

Panda King love candies!

Regarding this design, I have to admit I’m not a fan of candies or chocolates. Anything sweet is not exactly my cup of tea1. However, I thought a candy house seems pretty interesting and I’m pretty sure it’s a cosy place to live in. This design is made from lollipops, colourful chocolate M&Ms, strawberries and chocolate sticks, vanilla cream, lots of melted chocolates and my trademark, panda king. No pandas were harm in the process of making this layout. :panda: I hope you like it because it’s going to stay till at least April or June.

I’ve also been thinking of ideas for my blogger’s namecard. It’s been on my list of to-do for the past year but I still haven’t started yet. Perhaps I should start jotting down my ideas. What do you think of using this candy design for the namecard? Oh and if both of you are reading this, Terry and Brenda, both of you need to start too! I want one when you are done, okay? :P

  1. I don’t think pandas like sweet stuff as well [«]

Amour Chaleur turns one

Posted in: Website

28

8th December marks the day Amour Chaleur turns one and today is the big day! This is actually the first time I’m “celebrating” the birthday of my website or even remember the date the site was started mainly because Amour Chaleur is my first domain. My previous websites, Confession and Liberta were hosted via subdomains. I seriously cannot remember why I wanted my own domain back in December 2008. Is it because I miss blogging? Well, maybe.

To cut it short, this day is extremely significant as Amour Chaleur is a totally new beginning for me. It brings me to where I am today. I started drawing illustration because of this site and it’s been a year since I’m blogging again. I hope I wouldn’t play the MIA game again in the future and let me present Bim Bim celebrating with his huge cake. I hope he grows taller so he doesn’t need the chair next year. =D
