This may be a bit of a surprise but I'm actually on version 7 of this template! Of course, they have mostly been small tweaks apart from the change in logo.

I started with about 350 lines of code and I'm currently almost at 570 lines. It may be pointless but well, I have taken interest in it again, so it's kind of a hobby for me right now. I used to design my own templates couple years ago, until I got bored of it. Mainly due to the complexity of coding required to achieve fancy looks and transitions.

However, thanks to the arrival of CSS 3.0 and HTML 5, all the crazy scripting has mostly disappeared. And are welcomed by the concise CSS codes instead. I am rather proud to say that everything here is still done using only code! Because I'm still new to this new era, I had to do a lot, and I do mean, a lot of searching And I would love to point out the improvements made, not going by versions.

Hello! I've finally bought a domain after so many years of blogging.

It's officially LordofGeeks.com

Of course, since I'm still using blogger to host it, you could always visit lordofgeek.blogspot.com. Which will simply redirect you to the .com website.

Now why the extra S you ask? Because lordofgeek was taken! Though it's not used, it's kind of in a suspended state so I can't really contend for it, it'll be a little more expensive if I tried to. Either way, this marks a rather significant checkpoint in my writing life.

I"ve been thinking about it for years but finally the price seemed cheap enough for me to just go ahead and do it. In case you're wondering, it costs 10USD / year. Of course, since I'm using Google (Blogger) to host the website itself, so I do not have to pay for the web server fees (:

Of course, you can expect a huge wave of updates in the following weeks (or months since school is starting soon). I am really excited about this, it's like

IT'S SO FLUFFY!!!

Kind of excitement.

Well, there's a good reason behind why I'm so excited. Because getting a domain through Google allows you access to Google Apps. What's so interesting about that? Well.

For example, I can now create emails under @lordofgeeks.com
(though you should probably be able to do that with other services, the great thing about this is that it's actually under Gmail!)

And also, I'm going to start putting up ads. Hopefully, it'll cover the cost of the domain in the next year. I'm not really expecting to earn much from it. Though I'll now start to promote this little website more than ever!

3 cheers for the domain name! And as usual,
Farewell my minions!
