@ Mini Revamp Completed!
Okay guys, after several weeks of frustrating battle against htmls divs br and so on, I finally managed to center the blog and thus completed the little mini revamp that i promised.
Might be a simple task to some but its definitely a difficult one for me who last touched basic html since secondary school. First of all, I had to get used to the codes i am seeing. Days were spent studying the codes, which values affect what. Then on, changing the values to input my own preferred styles for the blog.
Centering the blog is hard for me. Initially, I found several codes online that can be applied to my existing code to center the blog but none of them works. Probably something missing here and there but of course I wouldn't know. I decided to start on a new template from dreamweaver. At first, it worked quite well, managed to center it. But as time passed, I realised theres some error which causes the blog to work well for Internet Explorer but failed for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Had to keep changing the template till I managed to find one that is able to work on all three browsers. Some mini changes here and there.
I can only imagine how its like to start on a zero platform since mine started with something already there, just need some formatting. Thanks to the previous EXCO team on this. =)
Below are some images to show the progress.
Hope you guys like the new layout. =)
Do drop me a message at our chit chat section should you find any errors regarding the blog. I tested this blog with the three browsers, Google Chrome 3, Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and Internet Explorer 8. It should work fine.

Thursday, October 22, 2009 @ ~Reminiscing the Past (Part 1)~
While backing up my harddisk drives, I came across this folder with pictures and videos of Second Life some time back. These files bring back quite alot of memories. Thought I would share with you guys. Heres the recent video I made, not exactly a video but rather a slideshow. Will post up those files from time to time. Do keep a look out.
Dedicate the above video to all my friends in SL. Cherish the times we had.
