I've Had a Facelift

Boredom led or better forced me to restudy creating customized multiply themes.

I have not been particularly satisfied with what other multiply users have made since they do not speak to me.  It's true that some of them are unbelievably breathtaking, but they do not reflect my personality. 

And so, more than a year ago, I self-studied the process of customizing themes in multiply albeit a minor part of it, i.e. inserting images.  The result was a site appearance that is dark, angry, and even frightening, but I liked it. It bore Thor, which newly revived comic series I started to collect.  Also, I felt that the design appealed to my evilish, brutish side.

Unlucky for me however, I soon got tired of the design and so I tried to manipulate the details of the CSS I used for it. It turned out that I totally forgot the process and so I ended up in actually destroying my first creation.  I tried looking for the link that helped me in my original study, but I can no longer find it.

And so, I was forced to import an entire customized theme, the one that bore the Ironman which after a few months suddenly inexplicably disappeared.  I was forced then to use one of the relatively boring and overused base themes of multiply.  Until today...

I finally got the time to browse through various links that retaught me the process of manipulating the CSS.  And after a few experiments, I came up with the present design that showcases a better looking and therefore bearing a nearer resemblance to yours truly, Thor. (Sorry, I can't help it.)

It is no great feat since more can be learned and therefore done to a particular site if a CSS layot is deciphered, but, I am the one who made it.  And barring any infringement rights lawsuit, I am planning to hold on to this for a long time. 

Until, of course, I find a better design as well as the time to create a new one.

  1. Tiyaga. I do not bother myself with CSS, and just use the default themes. HAHA Black and white will forever be classy and elegant. Transcends time :D

    Woo Great Job on the site! The fill on the boxes could be less transparent; text is difficult to read sometimes. maybe a simpler background would do? Or change the header image. It's weird seeing the same image as a header and a background. :D
    But still, GJ! *clap*

  5. I deliberately chose na ganon ang design. :D Kasi di ba, when one opens a site, unang makikita ang background, then ang header. So parang magkakaroon ng close up effect, focus ng mukha ni Thor.
