I launched dreamweaver the morning before I head off to Malaysia and worked without sleep for over 24 hours till the very last minute where I had to turn off the computer and carry the luggage to the taxi. Still I could not finish it in time. Just this morning, I finally completed "Blue Not Here"; christened with the inability to think of a good name at 5am other than stating the obvious.

I’ve never done clean corporate looks before. I thought this one looks cleaner than the old ones but on second looks, maybe not. Having 3 columns makes it difficult to beat 2 columns in terms of simplicity and I have been doing 2 column layouts all along. Admittedly, this is still a little too messy and is hardly corporate. But hey, at least I’m managed to stay away from pasting a wallpaper and working the site around it. Still, someone would not be pleased and this would probably burn holes in his eyes. At least I’m trying so give credit for that! Plus, this layout is the one that made me read the Float Theory which I have been resisting the need to read.

It was a difficult site to build thanks to blogsome’s smarty templating system that isn’t all that smart afterall. It is simple for beginners to use but so inflexible. I really hate the way it generates the html code. It’s so restrictive, it’s like a mother hen smacking my hand saying "No you can not" to everything I want. One good smack is how my date looks like now. By right, this post’s datestamp is supposed to have "Dec" written under the 20 but noooo, they generate the date all in one line, enclosed within a <h2> tag. It now looks awful but there’s no other way to do it and I’m getting lazy from having to go back to the drawing board each time it gives a smack so I left it with just the number.

Enough of smarty rant. I’m done with this layout and it shall stay this way. End of story.
