New Members & New Tools For The Tribe

The tribe would like to welcome its 2 latest members, namely Aneki and Sera. They have been initiated into the tribe after passing the Initiation Ritual Of Hidden Wang with flying colours. Currently under Tribal Probation, they hold the rank of ‘Young Grasshopper‘.

Would you like to join the tribe? There are terms and conditions attached and you will have to pass the Initiation Ritual Of Hidden Wang. All tribe members are given a plot of land, and have to build their own straw hut home on Liquidblade.

In addition to our amazing Tribeware which gives us calendars, email, addressbooks and other good shit, Angry “I am the magic pony” Beaver has successfully installed our TribeGallery so we can archive our photos. Jolly good show, AngryBeaver. Mandrake, please do NOT upload your porn collection - that stays on your harddisk.

Okay, your link to TribeWare is a page requesting username and password.. huh

must login first lah of course.

Ok… any idea how?

you gotta apply to join the tribe lah.

Application page not ready yet.

haha.. ok. Take your time.

Okay, i must have been sleeping cause it seems I missed the ritual — story of my life.
I am still at total loss wih those templates. all i want to do is define some colours, a font and a top-picture grrrrrrrr!! And that tribeware, i checked that out. Is that a hint that I am not supposed to write down my important dates on my arm or my table anymore ?My adressbook currently is a big crumpled sheet of stained paper with all kinds of scribbles and unreadable writing pinned on my wall. I tried to switch to post-its but it’s too hard >-<

you’ll get the hang of it…

Anyway read this so you’ll understand how to customize your wordpress:

and lastly, a link to a list of styles you can download and use for your wordpress. Which is what that whore mandrake did.

okay okay *sweat* I do actually kind of understand what all the stuff in the actual style section means. I copied the writing from the nuclearmoose-guy, change it how I want it, but now where exactly do I insert that in the template code on my site ? do I need to upload that anywhere so it can be imported ?

Just because I got the template you wanted first, I am a whore? Grow up a bit can?

oh dear… ok aneki this is how it works.

You make the changes to the wp-layout.css file on the server. As soon as you change something, it affects all the pages which use that style. For an example if you set the storytitle style to have 20pt fonts, then the pages will reflect that.

You’ll need to ftp into the server and get a copy of that file. After you modify it, ftp and put it back into the server so your changes are reflected.

TO make changes to the look and feel, change the index.php file. Ftp and get it. Change it. FTP and put it back in.

Alternatively, you could use a tool like Dreamweaver MX to do this. You can get a copy at http://www.suprnova.org

I know this sounds difficult, but you’ll get the hang of it. Heck, anybody who can use FreeHand is a genius in my books.

ah yeah okay slooowly it starts to sink in. I will try and log onto the server via dreamweaver shortly, i do already have DWMX. I told you I don’t know anything. I feel just like when using flash, where i modify the actionscript simply by copying and pasting stuff, but not having a clue why or how.
I am using adobe Illustrator btw, it has less restrictions and is not so picky and bitchy like freehand.

yeah, I use Illustrator too. Freehand is really fussy. I’m sure it’s more powerful, but that’s no good because I can’t figure out how to use it.

no it is really not more powerful hehe. they just want you to believe that cause they gave it an image of authority. it’s maybe better for technical drawing cause it always asks for numerical values, but I hate those. I just wanna draw !
