Well this is going to be it – the blog theme for the next while.

Header image may chop and change as the one up at the moment is there has ‘temporary’ stamped invisibly across it. There is also the option for three different, two different (or one continuous) header image.

Comments, suggestions?

You now should be properly able to use the search and categories properly, hooray!
Apologies again for the header not being a link, I’ll get on to that (or someone else can show me how) but you’ll notice the handy navigation block at the top left, that will follow you down the page – there’s a link to ‘home’ there.

Please comment on the following headers:

Well that’s that, I have now officially been offered a place in Communication Design!

My sister managed to land a spot in Arts/Science at Monash. She’s happy. She will however defer it.

Now to stuff around with messy gettings of official academic transcripts of my results so that I can get some credit and to unenroll from good old Deakin.

*course details changed Emface, they are now correct

peacockHave a look at this post, I’d heard the initial and supposed versions of this but this elaborates even more upon the story and delves further into the interpretation. I was excited to find something new in such a familiar story.

It’s that time again.

The current ‘face’ theme has journeyed through the latter part of 2006 and it is time for it to go. I have (and continue) to quite like the header and colours, yet the theme itself has some issues in archiving and searching..

I am tempted to attempt to run with a three column WordPress theme as my sidebar really just is too long. A new header image is in order and you can vote on whether I should change the colour scheme. Header fonts will as always stay the same as they did in the jump from Blogger to WordPress so all familiarity is not lost.

I will not be starting from scratch so if you happen to know of any widgetised/killer not-outrageously hard customisable free templates a link would be fantastic! The theme will of course end up adapted to how I feel works best for the site. Feedback would be welcome and patience as a few things show up messily in the next week or so.

Please suggest away!

The ideal template to customise (ie: minimal work for me) looks like this:

  • Simple font in basic colours (not too hard to change though)
  • Header image that is in one piece and has the actual title within the image area or invisible
  • Background colour/image in one piece not many
  • Left floating sidebar (Some themes it’s easy to change this around but others prove nightmarish)
  • Minimal link/logos
  • No page/navigation at the top
  • Somewhat wide border area on each side of the blog, it’s cleaner and easier to read
  • Widgetised

lgadoginplane.jpgDay One of ‘Back to Normality’.

The rest of my time between now and when uni starts (or later if it takes that long – I hope not) is for Job Hunting.

Today consisted of a prowl around Seek which resulted in at least one appearance-promising opportunity of a Junior position in Desktop Publishing somewhere in the city. I’ve emailed off for more details regarding location and time and so have to wait on that.

I have also re-vamped my Resume, and really it’s not looking all that bad! Other initial steps have involved contacting a past MBO employer for any further work there or through their extensive network.

I would greatly appreciate you letting me know of any work opportunities around Melbourne – Admin/Publishing (Assistant) areas in particular on a Casual/Part-time basis. I would also be quite keen to work with kids/youth. I’ve had a full year’s experience in Admin/Reception and six months in retail along with many other short term ‘unofficial’ work/volunteering. If you know of anything at all, please shoot me an email at: allsaidblog@gmail.com

Here’s the deal. A job means that I can move out of home (A life experience I think I would benefit greatly from), I would be in the much smarter position of not working from home where the income is unstable and could rely less on variable Government student payments. I would ideally like to work where I can develop further career related/uni-related opportunities, which is why Publishing/Design/Photography is ideal.

Who knows, I might just have to take what comes. Wouldn’t it be great to be paid to blog! Please be praying with me about this.
