			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have not been adding new contents to C3 since last update, but I have been enhancing the site and some pre-mades little by little. I only uploaded <a href="http://www.creative-central.com/armageddon">Armageddon</a> last week which was my entry on <a href="http://graphics.twilight-realm.com/site/contest/" target="_blank">Aqua Cure&#8217;s Layout Contest</a>. Although, it wasn&#8217;t a winning entry, I still want to share it.<br />
<span id="more-1281"></span><br />
I fixed <a href="http://www.creative-central.com/ensemble">Ensemble</a>&#8216;s Jquery Slideshow. The slideshow&#8217;s CSS is messed up on newer version of the browsers including Chrome and Firefox.</p>
<p>Vision V2 is now up as well. Jelena enhanced her artwork featured on <a href="http://www.creative-central.com/the-vision">Vision</a> pre-made, so I incorporated the changes she made on the artwork on the pre-made and it looks better now since she put more details on it.</p>
<p>On the main website layout, I fixed the <strong>horizontal scroll bar</strong> issue mentioned by <a href="http://www.creative-central.com/stabilizing-the-site#comments">Josh and Dye</a> on their comments. This is due to my <code><strong>#wp-wrap</strong></code>&#8216;s width exceeding the minimum (or should I say standard or most common?) width of monitor resolution sizes. So yeah, I took it off and its now gone. Thanks for pointing things out to me, I really appreciate constructive comments.</p>
<p>I visit <a href="http://browsershots.org/" target="_blank">Browser Shots</a> for all browser compatibility issues. Although, the site is all messed up on some very old and uncommon browsers like MSIE 6 and below (and alike) I don&#8217;t have intensions rebuilding the site&#8217;s structure to be compatible with all those <em>great grandmother&#8217;s browsers</em> (or very old and outdated).</p>
<p>I know some of you will not like what I will say&#8230; but I don&#8217;t support obsolete/very old version/outdated browsers and will never patronage them. I am doing this as a hobby to keep myself updated with the latest technology our new generation of developers has to offer, try out different new possibilities whenever I can and share to you the difference between using old and new techniques, and; report several bugs to developers with their latest version releases. With that said, I only fix website bugs to <strong>keep it updated&#8230; not outdated</strong> ;p</p>
<p>You are always free to view my site on older browsers and I am happy to hear the difference between new and old ones and somehow, we can all agree that the new browsers are more powerful than the old ones (design wise). ^.^</p>
<p>Other than that, Creative Central is best viewed and tested with the latest browser such <strong>Mozilla Firefox 3 and up</strong>, <strong>MSIE 8 and up</strong>, <strong>Google Chrome</strong>, <strong>MSN Browser</strong>, <strong>Opera 10 and up</strong> and <strong>Safari</strong>. Yups, I have all of them. So, I&#8217;ll try to fix some png issues soon on MSN Browser conflicts. Hooray!?</p>
<p>Oh and I finished some pages like the <a href="http://www.creative-central.com/contact">Contact</a> page now looks cleaner with its new CSS style as well as the <a href="http://www.creative-central.com/about">About > Information</a> page has a <em>not-so-clear</em> photo of me Haha! I also put up <strong>RokAjaxSearch</strong> on my sidebar widget without any compatibility issues ^.^ </p>
<p>Right now, I&#8217;m a little out of focus since school has just started and I went through kids&#8217; enrollment but that&#8217;s not the main reason. The main reason is that&#8230; I got bored&#8230; so I&#8217;m taking some time off on designing my website contents and went to gaming for awhile. I am playing randomly &#8211; CityVille in FB, Rift: Planes of Telara, The Sims 3 and SecondLife.</p>
<p>I am still active and I am not putting this site into Hiatus or whatever. I will still update the site whenever it is possible, go to forums and check it up once and awhile&#8230; and yes&#8230; I will still keep visiting my link exchangers to check and leave messages if I feel I have to whenever they have new updates and contents ;p &#8230;not because I have a new update but because it gives me inspiration.</p>
<p>So, I guess that would be all for now.</p>

<p><strong>Armageddon Pre-made Layout</strong> is inspired by <a href="http://uk.aiononline.com/">Aion Online</a>&#8216;s extra-ordinary graphics and party game play. It is C3&#8242;s official entry to <a href="http://graphics.twilight-realm.com/site/contest/">Aqua Cure&#8217;s Layout Contest: Team Work</a>. I believe this piece speaks out loud when it comes to targetting the concept. This layout also features a fictional <a href="http://powerwiki.uk.aiononline.com/aion/Legions">legion</a> (<em>also known as guild/clan on other MMOs</em>) name in-game.<br />
<span id="more-1277"></span><br />
This is a basic 1 page pre-made layout with 2-column divisions that intends to showcase a community blog of a legion where members can easily be updated outside the game with various pre-named blog categories which will help members in their quests and leveling activities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wohoo! <span class="highlights">Creative Central</span> and <span class="highlights">Art Lovers</span> are beginning to experience stability again on its new home. Well&#8230; honestly? We&#8217;ve have been moving from one VPS provider to another these past few weeks, so it was pretty much chaotic for me. I moved all accounts 3 times already due to several issues arising here and there on C3 and on other hosted sites.<br />
<span id="more-1275"></span><br />
Now the only poor thing that isn&#8217;t stable yet is the community. I am not sure if I can explain to you about it but it had been very complicated. I moved it from cPanel to Plesk and it was all messed up. I had a hard time reviving it and remained closed for the last 3 weeks. Hmmmn, I decided to go back to cPanel/WHM because I thought cPanel/WHM hosting providers are more &#8220;reliable&#8221; (from my experience though), since I always go for Managed VPS with cPanel/WHM installed in it after all.</p>
<p>Anyway, I found another great host and saved me a week from chaos &#8211; <a href="http://www.knownhost.com/" target="_blank">KnownHost</a>, so far they&#8217;ve been awesome. Performance wise? I swear I love it *giggles*</p>
<p><strong>Soooo, for the updates.</strong></p>
<p>Last 2 weeks ago, I finished <span class="highlights">2 custom pre-mades</span>. One was requested by <a href="http://www.creative-central.com/senshi-stars">Orion Kay Linn</a> and the other one is a collaboration with <a href="http://www.creative-central.com/the-vision">Jelena</a>. If you haven&#8217;t seen it, please check it out and comment.</p>
<p><span class="highlights">2 denim textures</span> was added as well. I put up 2 colors for it, the <a href="http://www.creative-central.com/blue-denim">blue denim</a> and the <a href="http://www.creative-central.com/black-denim">black denim</a>. I followed 3 different tutorials on how to do that though. I hope it can be useful to your projects.</p>
<p><span class="highlights">1 new Photoshop Brush</span> set. <a href="http://www.creative-central.com/broken-grids">Broken Grids</a> was inspired by <strong>Karmakaze Designs</strong> &#8212; I hope you guys remember the site. I was trying to look for my back-up of the sites&#8217; brushes for an abstract poster I&#8217;ve been making but I can&#8217;t find it. So I made one instead before it took me ages to find the DVD back-up of it.</p>
<p>Finally, can I just plug the forums? It&#8217;s partially re-open at <a href="http://illustrique.net" target="_blank"><span class="highlights">Illustrique.net</span></a>. I preserved the members and the topic posts but overall, it was reformatted with new forum categories, a blank gallery (duh! because it was effected by the changes) and a new blogging system (if that&#8217;s useful) where you can connect your site to pick up its RSS so we can be updated when you guys update. Bah! and yeah I&#8217;m fixing C3&#8242;s facebook page and my Twitter stuffs too. lolz!</p>
<p><strong>What else?</strong> I&#8217;ve been struggling to polish Version III and so far I am on 90%. Does it look better? It wasn&#8217;t really done yet. My 3 weeks to-do lists failed. I was pwned with Cityville on the background while I upload the websites on the its new VPS. So to all my facebook friends, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Creative-Central/166504846711855"><span class="highlights-blue">Like the Creative Central</span></a> page instead if you do not wish to recieve my CV walls updates. But if you like you can add me as neighbor. Hehe!</p>
<p>Oh well I blame it on my mom who influenced me to play that FB app, it&#8217;s addictive, so beware. lolz!</p>
