The GUIDON EB race started a few weeks back which prompted me to put training into a hiatus while focusing more on webdesign and press rather than dancing. I still love dancing but I really have to put it on hold, graphics and web design are still of course my first love.

Speaking of graphics on the web, Tata made a post about this a while back. In the good old days when PHP was just starting to creep its ways to the regular filipino web designer as a helpful tool and WordPress was still called b2. Back then we seem to all worship and adore sites like Aethereality.net, Blinding-light.com and Daydreamgraphics.com. I wanted to reminisce and take a look at them and well I sort of saw that many of them have become stuck in the past.

All three of the sites mention above have not been updated in more than a month. Two are still using the sort of fan-girlish anime type layouts we all used to use when we started out. Daydream graphics has embraced wordpress as a CMS and let go of its home grown database of tutorials and layouts but well I no longer worship the layouts that are posted there. On the sidenote, the only premade layout I did and submitted to aethereality is still the last updated pop-up layout available.
