Ok, now my reply to why I changed my blog skin...

I have to manage quite a few blogs. ronfiles, ronfilesgallery, and now, the 3sa class blog.

I was thinking that I should keep my blogs' templates simple and standardised such that I will not have a mental burden with being able to single-handedly correct my own codes.

Ok, that was very technical, but the point is, I don't want to use my own code for all my blogs. If my code has a fault somewhere, I have to find it and correct it.

I'm not exactly the most "free" person in blog land... so, i have decided to push my codes aside and settle for Blogger's standard blog skins.

Why? well,
1, i don't need to touch HTML codes that often anymore when I want a design change.
2, my blog has fewer compatibility errors on the various browsers. I think Ren Yuan will agree with me that my code was horrendous enough to mess up his Internet Explorer web browser... And I wouldn't know since I'm on a Mac, running Vista only once every month.
3, this skin makes addition of gadgets n widgets a lot easier. If you remember, I was having a hard time adding a "imeem" playlist widget on d previous skin. Now, with a dedicated sidebar, I can add that back.

By the way, for those who complain my blog looks horrendous, did you try stretching your browser window to a slightly wider format? It will look a lot better. I know that because I am using a Widescreen laptop, and I stretch my windows until I reach visual nirvana.

I hope my essay is good enough a reason to change to Blogger's standars skin. Please be understanding and just bear with it. After all, a blog is supposed to be about the blog posts. Its content.

Don't make blogging another American Idol, where hair matters more than the singing. [stares at Sanjaya].

Once again, sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope you will be kind and understanding.

While i'm at the apologies, I will be gone from 8 Jun 07 to 18 Jun 07 on my school's Art trip to Italy. And after that, I will again be gone from 19 Jun 07 to 24 Jun 07 on vacation in Indonesia with my family.

Also, I'ld like everyone to pray for a smooth delivery as my sis-in-law gives birth to baby number 2... Yes, I'm already an uncle, and yes, My eldest bro's married, and Yes, m eldest bro is 27 this year, with my sis-in-law born 1 month later only.

If all goes fine, the Caesarian operation should be on 5 Jun 07, my sis-in-law's 27th Birthday.

Talk about a mom and her son being born on the same date, 27 years apart...
