As the bunny year is hopping away and as my neighbors start shooting their festive firecrackers and fireworks to the night sky. Finally we celebrate New Year once again, people. It’s the year of the water dragon, hope we’re all soaked with abundance of blessings! And so I would like to say Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fat Choi! (translation: hope you get Fat!)

Talking about good fortune in life, do you know that ‘good’ in Chinese life is usually considered in three?

First, yes, good fortune. Imagine, we bump into lucky events, we get lots of money, surrounded by our loved ones, we found lots of opportunities everyday in our life. Raise your hand if you’re stupid enough to not want it.

Why WordPress why??? Why do you release such updates so often?
High five if you’re also lazy to update your WordPress like me.

Oh btw, love the new theme? Clear your browser’s cache if you haven’t seen the new theme loaded.

wp_newtheme
The new theme is kinda homy~!

I add an illustration to the footer and use a soft color as the background instead of the plain ol’ white background before. Changed the logo too on the sidebar up there. (^^)

For the history, the previous old theme is looked like this.

How To Reply Your Comments

by Oridusartic on December 12, 2011 in General with 12 Comments

For some readers who haven’t set up their own gravatar – globally recognized avatar – yet. I randomly made some illustrations for your default gravatar on my blog.

comment_avatar

Too bad I still can’t figure out on how to make them as generated gravatar. Anyway, if you’d like to hide the ninja on your own profile pic / avatar on my comment section. You could register your own Gravatar anytime.

Question question~

Ok so the thing is, I really like reading comments from my blog’s visitors. It feels like getting lots of supporters in a football game. One that I’m confused is about how to reply the comments.

comment_how

Here are a few examples. Should I:

A. Personally reply each comment one by one by using the WordPress comment-reply feature? Like this:

comment_a

This way the comment section would be dominated by my comments. Besides, I kinda feel a bit like cheating the comment numbers. Imagine, there are 20 comments in a post, but it turns out 10 of them are my own comments. Will that be ok? :S

Just Watched Castle

A quick random update! Just watched the latest episode of Castle Season 4, Cops & Robbers.
This episode’s story is awesome, intense and a bit different from the previous episodes.
Beckett’s negotiation with the robber was also cool.

Castle and his mother, Martha were taken as hostages in a bank robbery, then the bank robbery was actually related to a murder case. Haha, yep that’s it. Night!

Expired Domain and New Phone

Sorry for those who couldn’t visit my blog yesterday and the day before yesterday.

Yes, the domain was expired two days ago and I was late in noticing the email from my webhost. Apparently they sent the notification to my old email, so I forgot to pay for the renewal. But it’s all fine now.
