I'm testing to post my entry here that will be cross-posted to LiveJournal and will be crossposted again to Multiply. I hope things work fine.

This is the test post to LiveJournal. Written directly from WRDC.

This basic layout finally looks okay on IE7. It shouldn't matter on previous versions. The next thing is to add some interesting stuff. Few more images here and there, and that's it. My brand new site powered by Drupal. By the way, this theme is based on Framework theme I found on Drupal site.

As usual, the worst nightmare of web designers, IE, breaks my site again. It somehow becomes a second nature to combat the mess IE has done. We code the HTML and CSS properly, and they look awesome on FireFox, Opera, or Safari, but it is completely broken on IE.

And when the night comes, I wish that someday this world wide web will be free from IE.

Another hard thing when it comes to developing a website is making sure that it is standard-compliant. Many people don't even care about this, but I do. Even if it is often frustrating to check the code line by line. It worths the effort. You can end up smiling when you see a green sign on the W3C page, showing that your page is validated. Which means that you have properly build it.

Yes, it is. Everything is constantly changing in my life these days. As well as my site. Although it is supposed to be the placeholder for the primary domain I've used, I will not present it just like a plain and static HTML. I need something 'dynamic'. *Sigh*... that word again...

So why Drupal? I love trying different stuff to power up websites I build, especially my personal projects as no one would scream at me in case something goes wrong. And this Drupal thing sounds good to me. At least it doesn't take big space on my server. It's smaller than Joomla I think.

Whatever...

Last week I wanted to move my site to another place. Well, not exactly move the whole thing, just the domain. It seemed that it was more complex than I thought things would be. Unfortunately everything went the way I didn't expected. My domain lost for few days. It wasn't reachable. So did my e-mail account.
Thank God it is recovered now. And I start building my site right now. It will be a long week, and fun too...
