I've been working on this skin so it will be responsive. I was wracking my brain over the fact that it wasn't looking as it should on mobile (even with mobile mode off). After days of trying, I gave up and turned mobile mode back on. It's so much easier to style mobile mode than to start from scratch... but now I might be going a little overboard testing how far I can take the mobile mode skinning. XD


? what responsive design? watch me as i go width: 900px!!

... i'll either pay for it in the future or i won't, but for now I'll need to grapple with learning design elements first ;; paying for all the times i scoffed at art classes back in school though, oofs. i now have 0 creativity skills. 

another confession: rubber ducking works. 

it really does. 

don't be like me.

  1. skinning the board statistics isn't bringing me any joy. i want to punt it so bad.
  2. i'll obviously have to learn graphics/editing soon, or what i do will forever look basic...
  3. i'm not looking forward to converting my backend-influenced class names to proper frontend naming conventions. bad idea, that one.
  4. my current skin looks okay-ish for now, but i hope i'll still like it after i wake up tomorrow. already beginning to scowl at it tbh (y)
  5. i have no idea what i'm going to use this skin for because i'm definitely not opening a site(no energy. no time. no no.) but i don't want to stop either so... yep..

on a less whiny, happier note, i think i got over my fear of frontend!!! i used to run far when my work suggested i touch the webpage. now i look forward to it a bit and even took one frontend task for myself hoping i'll learn something new. yay to character personal development?

i'll try to type less next time. (*ﾟｰﾟ)ゞ

Don't worry, eventually you'll get to that point, too! The sooner you start, the sooner that point will arrive! Trust me, I've been exactly where you're now and I can CLEARLY see improvements in my own skins from when I started 'til now. YOU CAN DO IT, I BELIEVE IN YOU! :pom poms:

This is such a mood, though. :'D Any time a new pretty skin comes out, I'm immediately taken aback by how good it looks - and then spend weeks mourning the fact that that could never be me.


Aw, thank you both! It's both hopeful and humbling haha. Here's to hoping I don't compromise all the way until I settle for post templates only. Whine less work more, gotchya!

I'm stuck in an eternal loop of wanting to skin a site for myself, to getting demotivated when I see all the good skins that surely, surely couldn't have been coded by one(1) single person alone. ...But they are, and then I get daunted by how long they must have spent on those super good skins with so many of those little design details.

Super doubtful I'll get to that point, but we'll see. ;; For some real confession:

Sometimes I mess up my paddings/margins and the layout looks kinda weird, but then it can also look kinda intentional, so...

...I hope for people to think it's the latter. ;D justkidddingifixedit
