Blog is back and revamped!

A sincere apology for the 4+ months of inactivity! But hey, it is now back and revamped! Hope you like the new look'n'feel! : )

Since starting out on my OE in April this year, I could hardly find much spare time to do my own stuffs. So when I do have the time, of course I have to prioritize and unfortunately blogging must be put aside.

The other thing that was bugging me was the organisation of my blog's template. Initially after the first month of my OE, of course I would have loved to blog about my experience. I was actually debating whether to open a new blog for the OE or to just keep posting onto this blog. Ideally I would like to keep everything together, with links at the top to separate posts belonging to different topics. This means I can have one just for OE. Unfortunately I could not find any blogger gadgets for this. So in the end, this kind of helped to demotivate me to get back to blogging anytime soon.

Until....TODAY!!! : D I guess deep inside me, the problem I described above just subconsciously bugs me! (lol yes, truly showing my true developer colour isn't it!). So somehow, for no reason at all, I got onto blogger and clicked into the new 'template designer'. Initially I was just clicking around playing with the themes. I then noticed the word 'tab'! Ah ha! Just the thing I was wishing for! @.@ After a few more clicks and experimenting, YES, it's achievable!!! I was sooooo happy! : ) Seriously! I was so happy with the tab, so happy with the new templates, I ended up just sitting there playing with the CSS for a good couple of hours, to get it working and looking correctly!  (N.B. - this is the first time I explored blogger designer and CSS customization. So pretty happy and satisfied!)

As you can see now the tab list is located above, just below the heading! I will be picking the 'main' labels that identifiy the separate topics and add it to the tab list above. I hope you will find the new look, cleaner, slicker and easier to found things too! : D

p.s. - Apologies to my dear blog, but I hope you like your new look and that the wait was worth it! Shall now be updating you a bit more often! : ) I have loads and loads to write....until the next time!
