Google Web Fonts is the best thing ever! Though it started with very little font, the font collection grows rapidly = more beautiful fonts and most importantly,it’s free! *cheapskate mode on*

There goes the era of using web-safe fonts; Arial, Verdana, etc. Now my fave sanserif font for body copy: Varela, Muli, Open Sans. Currently this blog is using Muli font, just changed from Arial. It’s looking so good, I can stare at my blog all day long! 
If you’re reading this post from RSS or email, quickly head off to my actual blog right now! Yes, now!
Because I’ve just changed layout, again. Still in pink color, more pink in fact. Except this time it isn’t a custom-made theme, no time for that, but a FREEmium theme that we just released at simplyWP in conjunction to October – breast cancer awareness month.
Proudly supporting own’s product and a good cause.

If you look at the right sidebar, you’ll notice the banner of my new venture. Targeting to launch the project by the end of this year (latest), hope I can keep up with the timeline.
Oh, to keep up with the trend, this theme is also made to have a responsive layout design (available for premium version). Try resize your browser or view it in tablet/smartphone, and you’ll get to see the responsive side.
Download OctoPink WordPress theme from simplyWP or purchase the premium version at $4.99 only!
It’s been one year since the last redesign. I felt the urge to freshen up the look and keep thing simple, therefore realign instead of redesign.
- Logo: still using the same shape, except it’s no longer white-teal color filling but blackboard texture and reduce the amount of floral design.
- Menu Navigation: From top, I moved it to left sidebar. Oh, the whole left sidebar is static, only content will move as you scroll down.
- Footer: a glimpse of about me, my personal projects/start-up with awesome partners and categories.
Let’s take a time machine back to see how wiehanne.com looked like back in 2008, that’s when I started to play around with my blog design.

It was mostly dominated by pink pink pink. In 2009 I even went for a darker pink, but changed to softer pink + more white in 2010.
Portfolio page is updated as well.
P.S. It marks my 5 years of blogging with this domain name, yay!
June is all about opening our mind and making decision to change. Sort of turning point.
In terms of personal life, my boy and I have been discussing and weighing a lot of life aspects. Decided to make the change as well, which will take place in about 3 months from now. We are super exciting! If you are thinking about baby, scratch that idea please. Hehe.. It’s something bigger than purchasing TV mounts.
In term of business, we are in the midst of re-design and re-align both simplyWP and Zhng Design Studio; from the strategy aspect and also the interface. Time to really apply what we’ve learnt during the advertising course!
Oh btw, I just had my first online interview. You can read my insightful and inspirational stories *cough cough* on my client’s site, Between Us Girls.
In the process, I became one of simplyWP.net?s most particular customers as well as great colleagues with my designer, though separated by thousands of miles. Yes the internet has spawned personal and work relationships, but I would have never thought I would be working with someone in Malaysia, yes Malaysia.
Sachkia is residing in UK Virgin Islands and I’m in Malaysia, yet we get to work together thanks to internet and email. This (read: work with people around the world) is also one of the thing that I like from my job. It offers so many possibilities for me.

Happy Wednesday! 
WordCamp is a conference that focuses on everything WordPress; for casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other. WordCamp Malaysia 2010 is the first WordCamp to be held in Malaysia! It?s happening on the 22nd of May 2010, Cititel Mid Valley. Read More here.
The parcel was sent on yesterday and we received it this afternoon. Fast! Thank you PosLaju and WCMY’s organizer, Simon to be specific. This goodies somewhat cure our heartache for not able to attend the first WordCamp in Malaysia.

There is Kaspersky Anti Virus licenses, T-shirt, and WordPress Schwag (WordPress pencil, stickers, pink pins!, and temporary tattoos all the way from San Fransisco). How sweet! Maybe next time we can have WordPress table lighting, mousepad, etc?
Both T-shirt is M size, definitely too big for me, but never mind. I still love the design, referring to the M word in Petronas twin tower shape. And the quote “Code is poetry” is very true for my boy – the geeky hubby.

We’re so looking forward to attend the next WordCamp Malaysia (or Asia) and maybe would like to involve in sponsorship again.
Hopefully it won’t crash again with whatever plan that we will have later.
P.S. Happy birthday WordPress! Seven years and you’re going stronger.
