Yay! It’s going to be a brand new blogging year, and I intend to celebrate it by launching a brand new blog layout!

That’s right, by the end of May 2007, The Silent Room will officially celebrate it’s third anniversary. We [my blog, its readers, and myself] have grown and gone through so many things together and it has been such a wonderful experience. We’ve come a long way and I hope for greater returns to come :D

From Blogspot.com to dotNET, and later to dotORG and now we’re finally at dotCOM [and will remain so, all paid for until 2015, w00t!]. This blog has seen several facelifts, server and domain transfers after the initial migration from being hosted at Blogger to server-side hosting by Blogasian [awesome dudes!) and now running proudly on Wordpress!

To commemorate the third anniversary of this blog, I have made this layout, The Glass Room as part of a long-overdue blog website revamp (Yes, we’re MORE than just a blog, now!). Past layouts have been “Monochrome” (those who have been around since my Blogspot days might remember) and “inVersion” which I have used over the past year or so.

Also part of the revamp is that I have cleaned up some codes. I have also consolidated all my fiction works in one page. The Silentscope photoblog now runs on Wordpress, and no longer an image gallery software like before (I’ll make a new header for it, soon). I’ll be reworking the Art Gallery and Eggheads page as well, but that might take a while.

Many thanks go out to Fird and DJ Redzuan for helping me figure out stuff! So, here’s the burning question. Do you like the new, shiny look?

I have spent three nights getting this layout to work on Firefox. It looks a bit funny in Opera, and it’s a complete mess in Internet Explorer. I’m not quite ready to make any fixes for IE yet, mostly because I’m not really sure about how I should go about it. I’m still very much a n00b when it comes to coding web pages, so if you’re kind enough to lend me your skills and help me fix this so it’s up to current standards and cross-browser compatible please, please help me out here.

I’ll buy you dinner. If you’re also a super hot chick needing some hot loving, I’ll even take you to a movie >:D
