Yes, indeed.
I wanted to create a very very cool website as neat as Apple’s site, as advanced as 2advanced.com or as sophisticated as lifehacker.com.
On the way, I thought, I ain’t no Apple or 2advanced. Hell, I’m just a Joker who loves fun & seriousness at the same time.(no pun intended.)
So, I sat down to imagine myself how I would look like if I were a cartoon character. Then I sketched up myself in a comical way, and after four long months of dilly dally-ing I have finally managed to launch this blog.
And yes, I condemn Internet Explorer 6, as a frustrated Web developer and if you’re using it, this blog will look like hell. So, go ahead and download some “real” browsers. I suggest Firefox. But don’t believe me, many are good, as long as it doesn’t have an “e” which sounds “shit” in Myanmar, for a logo.
Although, in my heart, I know that I love to write stuffs - even love to be criticized or laughed when I’m wrong - I can’t promise at the moment, I could be posting daily.
So, I suggest, you guys subscribe to this blog and drop by when you see something new.
You don’t know how to subscribe? Well, go to hell man, I ain’t going to tell you. hehe, I’m just messing with ya, don’t get mad at me, alright?
Now what are you waiting for, have a look around and start throwing rocks at me about stuffs you think I should improve.
Cheers!

I just *had* to check this page out in IE6. I see what you mean. Well, I more or less could “see” what you mean without trying it out in IE6. Hahaha….
There is a way to get IE6 to work with transparent PNGs, if I recall, although it’s probably too troublesome to be worth the time.
Well, as I’ve said in Twitter, the toon/drawn character is quite nicely done. How did you do it?
My favourite part is the hair, which I think is the most well done of it. But the overall character does resemble you; somehow the head-scratch bit (if you meant it that way) rang a bell. Looks wise too, except he’s a lot chubbier than you. Or have you grown chubbier, really? Haven’t seen you in a while. Hahaha….
I haven’t gone round to draw a proper version (or caricatural version) of myself; probably will. Probably. For my blog, I wanted to change the character’s behaviour depending on the occasion, but haven’t been active in working on it. The tennis version of it is a little wonky. Besides the fact that it is soooo small, you might realise he isn’t in the correct pose to properly receive and dispatch the ball.
The biped would be good for poses. Hmmm….
You can apply floating technique to images without using transparent PNGs, just my two cents. Anyway, your theme is cool and appreciate it.
@wj Thanks man, I tried using the IE fix for transparent PNGs and apparently it didn’t work. So I just left it as that.
The hair is quite a time-waster. I’m just quite grateful that I turns out right.
@MyoKyawHtun Floating technique? I’m not sure how that works. hehe. Care to point a link to me about it? Actually I used PNGs for the edges of the graphics. I doesn’t looks as nice as this when I used transparent GIFs.
And again, I’m no fan of IE6, so I didn’t give much thought about it.
The theme looks nice.
It would have been better if the page takes more horizontal space. The 800×600 resolution is “no longer” used, so you can probably increase the width.
@Justin Yah, I’ve noticed it’s no longer in use. However, I just wanted to make it looks this way just for the sake of keeping it minimal.
Give the value “relative” to “position” attribute to the parent layer. and give the value “absolute” to “position” attribute to desired layer.
#banner{
... /*your css code */
position: relative;
... /*your css code */
}
#mascot {
..... /*your css code */
position: absolute;
left: 20px;
top: 100px;
.... /*your css code */
}
Adjust the left and top position of that mascot div. I hope it could solve your problem.
Please allow the commentors has previous approved.You’re using wp 2.6. why don’t you put gravatar in comments?
@MyoKyawHtun Oh, that’s called floating technique.
Yep, I’ve been using that technique for many elements of the design actually the banner it self is positioned that way.
Although however, as I was saying I’ve been using it for the sake of anti-aliasing.
I’m just thinking, I’d probably just add in a separate stylesheet or something to replace the png-s with transparent gif-s with its jagged edges, if only there is reasonable amount of IE visitors.
Forgot it. IE6 is suck! Your blog does not layout problem. Ok?
@MyoKyawHtun I’ve configured comments to be approve if you are approved once. However, seems like wordpress blocked you since, you have some long codes in the comment.
And well, I’ll see how it goes first and willing to add in support for that if that has high demand.
It’s just that I just don’t want to keep spending time making a “perfect” theme. From time to time, I’ll be adding more and more features to this blog.
(and also the gravators as well)
Got something to say?
