Hello Wiki

经过几个月的时间断断续续修改，今天终于发布修正后的版本，在 IE6, IE7, Firefox, Safari 下测试良好（Opera 下又出问题，汗死，不管了），这次还提供了 Textpattern 的模板下载，看到 WordPress 2.5 今天出现，我想换回去了……

这是07年秋季设计的风格，做成了 Textpattern 的模板，十一月初正式使用。今年的模板做得比较少，去年年底的总结提醒自己宁缺勿滥，这也算是对自己的改正吧。这款设计主以灰黑色和绿色为主色调，当然蓝色也是必不可少的，绿草有蓝天的衬托才更接近理想化的自然。

看到渐渐增长的国内 WordPress 用户，想起自己曾经也是其中的一员，不免有些感情夹杂。因为 WordPress，我学到了很多，并认识了很多朋友。如果说我的互联网启蒙者是谁，我会毫不犹豫的说 Mr WordPress。

一直被媒体炒得沸沸扬扬的 Web 2.0 在西方风华正茂，而具有悠久历史的中国还在这条路上缓慢的前行。

国人善于模仿，这是历史必经的一个时期，但一模一样的模仿未免太死板了。近日在 Digg.com 看到一篇介绍 Web 2.0 设计趋势的文章，很值得所有的网页设计师一看。

Jack-o-lanterns, haunted houses, vampires, witches, ghosts, candy and kids trick-or-treating… Halloween has grown into one of the biggest commercial holidays in the US since the first official citywide celebration in Anoka, Minn, in 1921. But, Halloween has been around for over 2,000 years and its customs and rituals have changed dramatically over time. Here we’ll look at a bit of the history of this holiday and get some color inspiration from the day’s iconic colors.

Halloween Colors & Symbolism

I guess this basically sums it up pretty accurately, although the 'swearing' part is probably a little bit larger in my case.

It’s that time again. I thought I’d let you peer into my head for a post, so I sat down with a notepad, a pen and a 12 pack of Bud Light. After some deep thought, I came up with this list of signs that you might be a hardcore designer. A lot of these signs can overlap other professions too. From my experience, the following list contains mostly truths, mixed in with a little humor.

1. You’ve almost rear-ended the car in front of you because you were analyzing a font on a billboard.
2. You get pissed when a free Photoshop brush you download is less than 1000px in size.
3. You’d rather study the paisley pattern on your boyfriend/girlfriend’s shirt than listen to what he/she has to say.
4. You can use keyboard shortcuts at light speed, blindfolded, but you can’t type a paragraph of text without staring at the keyboard.
5. You’ve had “Software Nightmares,” when you’ve been working way too much.
6. You consider meals interruptions.
7. You’ve learned your lesson and stopped using the word “final” in any file name when saving.
8. You clean your keyboard more often than you wash your car.
9. You’ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.
10. You see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix.
11. You’d rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer.
12. When you heard that Adobe was acquiring Macromedia, you had a Design Orgasm.
13. When you look at Album art all you see are grunge Photoshop Brushes. (Then you see the album art a couple minutes later)
14. You’ve Photoshopped out a watermark for a comp or mock-up.
15. You’ve actually $paid for a font.
16. You’ve totally slaughtered a great design concept because the client thinks he/she knows best. (everyone thinks they are a designer)
17. The amount of words you’ve written with a sharpie labeling burned discs total more than the amount of words you’ve read in novels.
18. You’ve had to explain to a client that a layered file wasn’t part of the deal.
19. You’ve kept a ragged concert ticket just so you could scan it.
20. You’ve nicknamed the OSX spinning wheel. (and not affectionately)
21. You bookmark a resource more often than you have a fun night out on the town.
22. You’ve intentionally overbid a project because you can sniff out a bad client from a mile away.
23. You can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.
24. You have an amazingly huge font collection, and an amazingly short temper.
25. If you had a penny for every mouse click, you would have been a trillionaire 3 years ago.

Well, another day and another entry in our Bookmark Bliss series here at Bookmark Bliss. I’ll be the first to admit that when it comes to designing any interface my biggest roadblock has to be deciding on a color scheme. Whether it be a standalone application or a new web layout, I could come up with the best interface design but no one would care if the color scheme is an assault on the senses.
