(Game show host voice) and here’s your host…SpunkySmurf!!!

So the target for this weekend has been achieved i.e. sorting out the branding for spunkysmurf site. I have to say, I am actually impressed and quite proud of myself. The spunkysmurf website will be updated shortly, once I’ve managed to sort out the hosting business out.

The updated the site will now show the new logo, and the font brand. It will also part of the colour scheme that I am planning on using. To tell you which colour I am after is, an off black colour…i.e. an understated grey. The font I used is incredibly sexy in my opinion, and its screams old school, modern, chic and with alot of personality and culture. I think this is an honest representation of who I am. I am actually quite proud of this and feel the time I have spent doodling and sketching away has really paid off.

Now, what I want to do is have a look at the wordpress engine, and have a gander as to how I can manipulate the CSS files. Ideally, I would like to figure out how to create my own blog, which would be very good for me. The reason I want to use to wordpress, is firstly its open source, secondly, Ive been using it so far with no complaints, and thirdly the CSS layout is said to be easy to change. Also the layout of the website in itself needs working out, and I would like to see a combination of CSS and flash on it, as oppose to just one site flash and one site CSS. Maybe in time, when I have really honed my skills in flash, which is the plan for this summer, a separate flash website can be set up. For now I think a regular html website as the core basis is ideal as I can continually update it.

One more thing I would like to find out, is how to centre an object on your browser. So irrespective of whether the user resizes their window browser, I want the object to stay centred always. Cor blimey this list of tasks to do just seems to be getting longer and longer. Just when you think you get something sorted…another one just lops itself on. Oh well, I’m glad the branding has been sorted, thats the main thing!!!!! Everything else should flow easily.
