So how sexy is the new Rogue-Dolls? It is very sexy to me! I hope you find it sexy too! Welcome to the new Rogue-Dolls. I had revamped everything from the layout to the Content Management Systems. The site is currently running on WordPress 3.0. I have to admit, WordPress is a beautiful piece of software. I never thought I would revamped everything as I was planning to just stick with Cutenews. I was experimenting with Fantastico one night and installed one of the CMS offered. When I look at WordPress and it’s interface, I love it! I am still getting use to a lot of things though. Compared to Cutenews, WordPress is more complicated but it is more powerful. One of the bad part is I am using some of my script to run the site such as the icon management script and also the download manager. I am not planning to change that yet and it is not compatible with WordPress. I need to convert most of my scripts to WordPress Plugins to make it compatible but that is so tedious and I am not planning to do that for the time being. I want to focus on my graphics.
First off, my apologies for being inactive for a while. If you are a loyal reader and a frequent visitor, I had mentioned earlier that I was involved in redesigning an investment company’s website and I was busy focusing on that. Now, the website is done and I can fully focus on Rogue-Dolls now. I must say I learned a lot after working with a company. I thought I was good when it comes to HTML and CSS but apparently, there are a lot of things that I am unclear with and working with that company helped me to discover more things and learn new stuff that I am not familiar with. I am planning to write a tutorial on a topic that I do not quite understand before this (regarding HTML and CSS) but after working there, it clears out my doubts a lot. Lets talk about the layout now.
So, I want something really different from the previous layouts. I decided to design something that doesn’t involve anime, models, actors, actresses, J-rock, J-pop, etc. I decided that I need something new. Something that will look good for a very long time and will not bores me easily. The current layout bores me even though it looks good. I am guessing it is the white background. So I came up with a typography. I don’t know how it happen. I was listening to a song by Marilyn Manson and I was messing with photoshop and this is the product. Ren + Marilyn Manson + Molesting Photoshop = Typography Layout. I was singing out loud and without noticing it, I was typing the lyrics on this layout! It was really unplanned. The lyrics are from Marilyn Manson song titled Coma White. I know Manson is weird but I like him and his songs so don’t judge me. I hope you guys like the new layout. I know it is different from the past ones but it is time for a change (this does not mean that I will stop making anime icons! I am still obsessed with them! But I don’t think my layout will be based on animes anymore). Most of the pages are done. Except for the main pages. It is still ugly! So don’t click on it! I still need to style it.
So what is the future of Rogue-Dolls? I’ll be treating this website as my blog. No more as a graphic site any more. Graphics will still be posted but it will also be a place where I get to rant and you guys will be force to listen. What will I rant about? Let see. Why do people record sex tapes of themselves and why do they cry when it got leaked? A very interesting topic and I think these people need a hobby! If you don’t want it to leaked, don’t record it in the first place. It will always, always, always, always (I repeat), ALWAYS LEAKED! Lets get into that later. Back to Rogue-Dolls, so yeah, it will be my little sanctuary!
I’ll be changing some of the previews in the icon textures sections. Some actually hurts my eyes. I’ll do it sometime tomorrow. I am currently also expanding my knowledge on Java. No, not the Indonesian island. Java, the Programming Language.
So that is about it. I missed designing icon textures and anime icons. I might put some in here later. I hope you guys love it. Oh well, Its 12:18 am here and I need to go to bed. I usually sleep around 2.00 am but I am getting old.
Oh, I just got myself a new laptop. It is in RED COLOUR and I love it! It is a Dell Studio XPS 16 but by the looks of it, it is so heavy. It could be use as a gaming platform as well. The first game that I am going to play on it is Resident Evil 5! Yes baby! Can’t wait. Okay, I really need to stop typing.
Yes, I know it is written that the author is Renetta Renula. But that is me. What do you think of the name Renetta Renula. It sounds awkward to me but I like it due to that reason. Night Guys!
Wow, the new version of Rogue Dolls looks amazing, I like the set-up and the typography is really cool too. Plus Marilyn Manson = pure awesome! Coma White is a great song as well. Congrats on the switch to WordPress. I adore wordpess, (I use it for my blog), I’ve been too lazy to make my own wordpress theme though, lol.
Freaking gorgeous!!! ^_______^
It’s super-simple and yet suuuper-cool; I abso-fu**ing-lutely adore it.
Gonna stare at it for a while. Bye. xD
I swear to god, you’re psychic. I am…As we speak, converting all my stuff over to wordpress. But your new layout is love. WordPress buddies<3333 xD It's so easy to maintain and plugins = love!
And, further note, I'm always happy to hear you rant. ( ^_^)/ I love the typography, you're so awesome at it. I've gotta change the affiliate button I made for you last night btw. Psychic sister. (-3-)
As you notice from the credits, layout’s not mine; it was a granted request from last Request Week at Frail Frivolity. xD
I made a red layout for Hakanai (it was version 2.0, online on last December – red = Christmas) but it sucked bad compared to this one here. n.n;;
Very nice layout! The only thing that I’m not so fond of is the white/pink text on black background. It blinds me O_O.
I found your tutorial very useful by the way!
I’m learning Javascript but I haven’t gotten my lesson from my boyfriend in about a week or 2 :\. I need to get back on to learning about Javascript.
Honestly, I’m not really sure. I mean, I LOVE the colors. It’s just, if I read too long on a black background, it blinds me..Hmm, maybe try making it transparent a little like my background? I don’t know if that would look good or not. :\
Well, he’s going to teach me Javascript and PHP. The reason why I was going to learn Javascript is cause I’m going to use it for my new layout but like I said, I haven’t gotten a lesson in like 2 weeks :\.
Need to get back to learning it but there’s not enough time in the day. I have some many other things I want to do do XD. Have you ever had that?
YES EXACTLY! Well, I work but when I get home, I only have about 5-6 hours left in my day but there’s sooooo much that I want to do but not enough time D=. Like at the moment, I want to read Naruto but I also want to make a layout, vector, read something else, watch anime, play Dragon Quest 9 or P3: Portable yet I cannot do alllll that in 6 hours..
I would LOVE to read a tutorial about databasing! My boyfriend was actually going to teach me about databasing cause I was going to need that for my next layout. Which I haven’t even started on by the way :\.
