To access new photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/keneden/

A new site will be made to replace this but until then, Flickr is my primary photo uploading spot.  Coverage to continue in July.

My military time ended early this Summer so I’ll be able to cover the following conventions:

  • Anime Expo
  • Masquerade Ball Labyrinth of Jareth
  • Hot August Nights
  • San Diego Comic Con
  • Otacon
  • Dragon Con

Serial Experiments Lain font

Here is a font that looks much like the Serial Experiments Lain font used in the series logo.  It is known as loveletter.

Source: Chiaki J. Konaka’s web site (which uses this font).  He is also the scenario writer and story editor of “serial experiments lain”.

I am going to use this font often…

How to Change Wordpress Default Thumbnail Size

Published on February 24, 2008 in Website and WordPress. 1 Comment

Ripped off from HERE.

Simply put:
Open image.php from /wp-admin/includes/  NOT WP-INCLUDES!

And change the number in this line, in my case, it’s now 500. (Temporarily)

$max_side = apply_filters(‘wp_thumbnail_max_side_length’,
500, $attachment_id, $file);

I’ve used this up to version 2.3.3.

There should be an option to adjust the size and quality of the thumbnail in the same area as where you upload the image.  I’m going to research this since the quality is too low and I’m sure others have had the same idea.

New Vector Banner

Published on December 28, 2007 in Website. 0 Comments

I also created a new banner that fits the new 950X200px size. This one is based off an image from ‘The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya’ and was inspired by Heart464’s ‘First & Second’ A Neon Genesis Evangelion wallpaper.

It’s all Vector art, I used Illustrator CS3 to create it.

This is only the first published version (5th test version), I going to try textures to give it more character and will modify the left side with some more unique vector shapes (no Live Trace art).

Installed New K2 template for Wordpress!

Published on December 27, 2007 in Internet and Website. 0 Comments

I’m currently using Release Candidate 3, the newest K2 release.

This template has almost everything that I had to edit from the default Wordpress theme (Kubrick) and then some!

With K2, I’m able to upload a banner image via GUI instead of modify code and disable functions.

K2 also has tabs! I’ve been researching adding tabs for my site for months, even built a template with the basis for tabs! These tabs are perfect for what I need and after a little modification (rounding the corners), I’ll be set.

This is how you use Tabs with Wordpress!

I’ve noticed a bug where RSS entries bleed to the content if the entry title does not have any spaces and such-as-this-type-of-entry or is a file name without spaces. K2 does not cut title off after X amount width or characters.

Also, I did not like the gap at the top of the banner, it was part of the page which made it which. It should be gray with a border or not exist in the first place, obviously I chose the latter.

To eliminate the gap, modify your style sheet like so:

#page {
…
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0px 0 10px;
position: relative;
…
}

 UPDATE:

K2, for some reason, ‘disables’ borders on images by overriding any border you put on an image with code in the style.css file.  Search for ‘img’ in the file and modify as needed:

/*img {
border: 0;
}*/

How to get Xampp and WordPress to work together so that you can modify local WP files and view the results locally.

***note*** you must have the WP folder in the the Xampp directory, I used a old WP folder I found with only two posts.
