Oh yes, finally. All done!
All the little tweaking of the formats, paraphrasing of words and the nitty gritty details have been settled - as such, this site is now officially back up and running in full force.
I still have one set of photography to upload but I think I’d get to that when I feel fresher. (It’s the dead of the night now, and I’ve been working on this simultaneously for two days!)
Ah anyway, I’ve gotten rid of the sidebar for this particular design as I was feeling rather adventurous. I like the outcome though. Things seem to look less cluttered. That sidebar, however, might make a comeback in the future designs though, because I’m so used to having something on the side.
Photos featured on the left are captured from Cameron Highlands last year. Fresh strawberries, fresh tomatoes - hence the version title “Tis’ the harvest season!” Oh, and yes - that camera in the middle is supposed to emphasize my love for photography.
If this doesn’t appeal to you as much as the previous ones do - that’s because I haven’t designed anything for this domain (or any other site, rather) ever since July last year. -wince. It took me a rather time to draw this whole thing up from a blank canvas since I was all out of practice. (It holds a record of nine pre-launch drafts.)
One more thing, new guestbook! The previous script I used started breaking on me for no apparent reason and so I’m now a proud worshipper of Jem’s Bellabook script.
Okay, now that the obligatory introductory speech for this redesign has been done. Comments?
Oh, and don’t forget to holler at me if anything seems out of place to you, despite my best attempts to test this in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Netscape. ;)
-grin.

I am loving the new look, Brenda. I am really digging the colour combination: it’s so warm! I am assuming that you are still working on it, so I look forward to the further developments of your domain.
Woah… love the new design. Love the color too. Very unique!
Hehe, I’ve experienced that heavy, nagging feeling. Once I had to leave my FTP programme open for hours while files were being uploaded because we had to go out, and leave my (probably HP fan art) site mid-updated and probably all wonky. =\
Interesting new layout, btw. =) The splash page looks different, even! ^^
ooh looking good so far.
random question…is that 2nd photo your new camera? if so, whish one did you end up getting? i’m trying to decide what camera to get, but its so confusing. lol
Brenda’s Reply: Haha, nope. It’s my friend’s DSLR in that photo, although mine looks almost identical. (Was lazy to take a photo of my own.) (: I’m using a Canon Powershot SX100 now.
Love the colour scheme!
ooohhh niceeee =D I love the colours. The whole design has a whole Brenda feeling to it ^^
I love the colors. It’s winter here and somehow, I forgot about the cold for a few seconds when I look at the colors in this design.
Is that your new camera in the pic?
