  • Rusty French…

    Hah! I guessed right! My basic French is still good after over two decades of two years of French classes in high school. I missed one word (*more) after “cheating/peeking” with the Google Translate site.

    This is what my small mind translated from “2009 | L’âge D’or Une Vidéo De John Jr (Il N’y A Plus Rien À Faire)“: The Age Of Gold One Video Of John Jr (There Was Nothing *More To Do).

    The piano tune playing in the background was soothing. It sounds easy enough to play with a sheet music but difficult for someone like me who doesn’t play by ear.

    He could be a videographer. I guessed wrong that he was a professional photographer.

    Bravo. Tres bien, Monsieur.

  • Created wallpaper…

    While being bored at home, I’ve had created a wallpaper via Create Avatar – South Park Studios. This is the closest resemblance of moi as “cartoonized”:

    Snacky Cakes
    Evil Kitty

    I’ve been reading online articles of alter-egos created by trauma-based, mind-control. This second South Park Avatar is similar to my first avatar. Only this second avatar is holding a package of “Snacky Cakes” (or Nom-Noms For Thoughts by *Evil Kitty), who goes through dark *periods/phases when *”blogging has lost all meaning”.

    *Thanks to John Jr. for another brilliant idea!

  • Trying Premium Theme: Minimum

    For 30-days, I am trying a “Premium Theme”:

    Minimum by StudioPress

    Minimum is a stunning execution of “less is more”, which allows you to express everything you’re about, with very little effort. Read more about Minimum →

    Options: Widgets | Menus | Theme Options | Background | Header | Custom Design | iPad | ExtrasTags: black, custom-background, custom-header, custom-menu, featured-images, fixed-width, gray, left-sidebar, one-column, right-sidebar, sticky-post, theme-options, threaded-comments, three-columns, translation-ready, two-columns, white

    Support Need some help? Visit the Premium Themes support forum to get expert advice.

    I love the “Theme Options” (or Genesis – Theme Settings via “themes.php?page=genesis”). It’s got five sections:

    Default Layout

    • Content-Sidebar
    • Sidebar-Content
    • Content-Sidebar-Sidebar
    • Sidebar-Sidebar-Content
    • Sidebar-Content-Sidebar
    • Full Width Content

    Navigation Settings

    • Primary Navigation
    • Include Primary Navigation Menu?
    • Enable Fancy Dropdowns?
    • Enable Extras on Right Side?
    • Display the following:
    • Today’s Date
    • RSS feed links
    • Search form
    • Twitter link
    • Secondary Navigation
    • Include Secondary Navigation Menu?
    • Enable Fancy Dropdowns?

    In order to use the navigation menus, you must build a custom menu, then assign it to the proper Menu Location.

    Breadcrumbs

    • Enable on:
    • Front | Page | Posts | Pages | Archives | 404 Page

    Breadcrumbs are a great way of letting your visitors find out where they are on your site with just a glance. You can enable/disable them on certain areas of your site.

    Content Archives

    • Select one of the following:
    • Display post content
    • Display post excerpts
    • Include the Featured Image?
    • Image Size:
    • large (1024×1024)
    • medium (300×300)
    • thumbnail (150×150)
    • featured (500×250)
    • portfolio (160×100)
    • Select Post Navigation Technique:
    • Older / Newer
    • Previous / Next
    • Numeric

    These options will affect any blog listings page, including archive, author, blog, category, search, and tag pages.

    Blog Page

    • [All categories, etc.]
    • Exclude the following Category IDs: [Comma separated – 1,2,3 for example]

  • Trying Theme: Selecta

    Well, I’m trying yet another WordPress.com theme:

    Selecta by Obox Design

    With a featured posts slider on the front page, a wide, one-column template on image and video posts, and archives displayed in gallery format, Selecta is well-suited for blogs which focus primarily on showcasing videos or images. It comes with six color schemes, support for video, image, aside, gallery, quote, chat, and audio post formats, custom header, custom background, and four widget areas — one in the left sidebar and three in the footer. Read more about Selecta →

    It’s good for now.

  • Trying Theme: Toolbox

    Well, this time I’m trying Theme: Toolbox by Automattic. After checking how the deleted post looks like via my subscription “Reader” online, this is how the message looks:

    Well this is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?

    It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.

    Below this message is a LONG “Search” bar.

    Below this “Search” bar there are three columns:

    • Recent Posts,
    • Most Used Categories, and
    • Archives – Try looking in the monthly archives. 🙂

    Now, if only I know how the “Post Formats” work and look, I might learn something.

    This morning I’m trying yet another recently added WordPress.com theme:

    Toolbox by Automattic

    A semantic, HTML5, canvas for CSS artists and an ultra-minimal set of super-clean templates for your own WordPress theme development. Read more about Toolbox →

    Dammit! It’s so clean! I love it! All I did was retain my paid CSS upgrade stylesheet and only changed the background color to the body element. It’s refreshing to have the text alignment “centered”. There will be lots of tweaking to do tonight.

    HOWEVER, where’s my time/date stamp! It’s critical to have the nice element. Why? Again, it’s because I blog on the go. Although t’s not quite like Twitter, at least those spooks, err, I meant, readers of “The Blogging Path” know what I’m up to and when my precious thoughts occurred!

  • Happy blogging… smiles…

    So I’m currently watching the 36:21 presentation by the Matt meister. He has curly hair and that is quite a refreshing look compared to the younger and cleaner version from last year. The beard makes him look, well, desirable. I cannot find the correct word. Forgive me! Again, his accent is not “Americanized” and that’s hot but still reasonably understandable. He makes a great teacher with all that knowledge base he has to share. Teach me more codes!

    So far there’s lots in the presentation — colorful. I’ll let you go for now and check out the newsletter at http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/growth-of-wordpress/.

    Oh and I’m “You like this (391).”
