This is the first single from their upcoming album, Minutes to Midnight. Check out their website for more info.

As you can see, I actually made a little modification on the header.

When I was creating this theme few months back, the very last thing I did was creating the header section. So, I was kinda hurry to finish that part within the short period of holiday. Since then, I dont really satisfy with the outcome and everything.

As for that, I decided to take some time away from my books and assignments for a while and redo it again. I spend my evening today, redesign it. There’s not much differences if u asked me. but I made the header a bit thinner than the previous one. I also retrace that blue graffiti thingy because the previous one was just a crappy screenshot of my old flash artwork, as explained in this post.

Since I already open my Fireworks and Dreamweaver to edit the style.css file, I think its better if I change the look of my navigation bar also. So I created a simpler one because I think the previous one was too bulky too be called a ‘bar’. heh. The hover effect is actually a coincidence. It was not part of the planned. But while I was still playing with the properties value in CSS, it accidentally appear like that. So I said, better stick it that way. :) … or maybe I ‘ll change that later.\

And yah, also the music box as u can see up there.

Next thing?

I have been thinking of validating my xhtml and css. But my free time is very very limited. I have tons of works to be done so I cannot really sit in front of my laptop for a long period to mess my head with those codes and stuff.. Maybe I’ll wait for the next holiday but hell – its gonna be in June. wtf.

I dont think its gonna be easy to validate this stuff – especially my theme. Lots of errors and warnings. Should I just start all over again – or in other words, create a new theme? omg.

I have been wondering about several stuff regarding validating these xhtml and css.

Let say if I validate my CSS – then, it shows several warnings with no errors, is it considered as valid?.. or not?

How about xhtml? I am validating my theme through direct input. Am I doing the right thing by validating each file one by one.. let say index.php, single.php and so on…? or do I have to view the source in firefox, then paste the source as the direct input?I did try to put the code from the default Wordpress theme and some others valid themes that I downloaded earlier. – but the validator says that it is not valid xhtml.

I am confused.

  1. validator tu detect full source code untuk main page yg kita letak.. (View>Source) so header.php sidebar.php tu suma ada sekali dalam tuh la kot..

    warning tu ade bila da error je kot.. bila error dah takde, warning tu pun nanti ilang..

    that’s just my understanding. correct me if im wrong. :cool:

  2. mula2 memang ambik masa gak fix dia..buat kalau ko dh biasa nanti ambik masa dalam 10 minit jer.. ;)

  8. ajajaja i think its still same LP tapi tgk kat youtube byk fans die yg tak suka :???:

  9. flisterz - 09 Apr 2007

    dorg x rapcore cam dlu kot. dah jadi rock2 biase. haha i dunno la. dont care :P

  10. menubar ko tuh mcm ade somthing tak kene je..bile hover die kebawah sket..memang ko buat centu ke ape? huhu..n tak begitu nampak.. :D

  11. flisterz - 09 Apr 2007

    @xero : aah mmg sengaja bwat camtu.. tp ingt nk tukar balik nnt. haha
    and mmg sengaja bwat x nmpk sgt. :D

  12. kalau nak validate css. yg warning no background color ape tu.. tu bleh di abaikan rasanya.

    nak validate xhtml, ko validate page utk main,next page,single post,page lain2 cam about ape semua tu. dah cukup.
    yg theme ko dload tu kadang2 tak valid bukan sbb them tu, tapi sbb posting kita. kadang2 lupa letak alt= utk gambar :)

  13. nak tambah..somtime..plugin pun leh buat hal.. :D

  14. flisterz - 09 Apr 2007

    @novatech: aah yg warning background tuh yg banyak. boleh ignore je ek?
    oo sbb posting pn ade effect. ok ok . thanks bro :P

    @xero : plugin pn? alamak. kne check lagi. haha

  15. @cake: warning tetap ade kalau dah validate pun…

    @flisterz: even if your index.php is valida tapi kalau masa tulis post tak valid, tak valid gak..

    aku tak nampak sangat title website ni kat header and text tu nampak terlampau blend sampai tak nampak (mesej untuk visitor tak sampai).. patu in normal state lagi striking than in hover state..

  16. flisterz - 09 Apr 2007

    @ikram_zidane :klu post yg before2 this x valid, so the whole theme x valid? or is it only the current post?

    patu in normal state lagi striking than in hover state..

    hurm bukan ke in hover state, the font is green..rather than dark grey in normal state..?

  17. you send in your page, and they see whether its valid or not… page depan ngan page archive or post2 lain semua tak sama..

    and maksud aku ialah patut dalam normal state la link patut nampak lebih jelas berbanding link dalam hover…

  18. flisterz - 10 Apr 2007

    @ikram: ok cool.

    oh its “patut”. i thought it was “pastu”. heh maybe i’ll change dat later. thanks. :)

  19. aku tengok footer kau, ingatkan kau guna Expression Engine. BTW, I like your blog! A lot! Dan menu tu aku rasa reasonable dengan theme kau, takyah tukar pun takpe (unless kau rajin nak tukar ekeke)

  20. eh btw, aku baca kau punya about section dan tengok kau punya prev blog, all i can say is WOW kau ada big potential dude!

  21. flisterz - 10 Apr 2007

    @artgeex: thanks a lot :) pasal menu tu, klu aku tuka pn lmbt lagi la.. busy lah. haha
    wow?! thanks :D

  22. tapi pasal menu tu betul la.. aku dok refresh 2 3 kali ingatkan sbb connection aku img tak kuar.. tapi rupanya memang gamba kabur… monitor. aku brightness 30 contrast 0 gamma 1. hahah! gelap utk kesihatan mata

  23. flisterz - 10 Apr 2007

    @novatech: oh ye ke? kne tuka jugak la camtu. penting ni. thanks bro :D

  24. Yup, aku ingat apa dah jadi dgn menu tu, biasa ok je. Tp header tu namapak lebih pendek, dan sememangnya lawa
