<p>Here is a very infamous youtube video that forumer post to prank people into thinking it&#8217;s the latest link to a review of a new game/song etc&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Next step is to add content to the website.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t an easy task as I had to extract all the content from the website, and format them to my liking.<br />
I had some previous experience of exporting website so I dumped every text into a utf converter and good thing I did, because the converter found a few characters that wouldn&#8217;t show up on utf-8 format!<br />
The easy step is to insert the content as I created a sample html file, I just dumped the content in the content area.</p>
<p>The following step when everything is to validate every pages.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For this part here, I used the cutted draft that I previously used.<br />
The software I used to make the website is Coda.</p>
<p>I like it because it lets me preview the website and have very nice css feature.</p>
<p>I used the top banner the lower banner as enclosing pictures and the middle part as an extension that will grow vertically as the content is bigger.</p>
<p>Due to the lack of time, I did not try to center the website but I rather kept  it on the left side.<br />
First I had to write the header which didn&#8217;t take too long.</p>
<p>Then I had to work on the website.<br />
I decided to use &lt;div&gt; tags because the layout is very simple and doesn&#8217;t need much.<br />
After a few hours of work, I come up with something quite satisfying and simple, I used CSS to force the content to be 35px on the right using &#8220;padding-left&#8221; so it doesn&#8217;t mess up the layout and gave css a little beating to get the website have a less conventional look</p>
<p>I am pretty happy with what I had and the next part would be to add content.</p>

<p>This image is not really important, but gives a nice feel to the website.<br />
It is important to choose a meaningful picture to make people attracted to the post and eventually read it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I am going to cut the design draft into fragment that will be used to make the website.<br />
Using photoshop I will cut the piece I need.<br />
Having a look at the design, I can say that it only needs 3 cuts at most.</p>
<p>One cut that takes the upper part of the banner one that takes the lower part and one that cuts a fragment of the middle part.</p>
<div id="attachment_29" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-29" title="upper banner" src="http://blog.tonykieuphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/banner-300x102.jpg" alt="upper banner" width="300" height="102" /><p class="wp-caption-text">upper banner</p></div>
<p>Here is the upper part where we cut the logo and the partition like fragment.</p>
<div id="attachment_30" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-30" title="extended line" src="http://blog.tonykieuphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/line-300x1.png" alt="extended line" width="300" height="1" /><p class="wp-caption-text">extended line</p></div>
<p>Here is the extended part where we keep the redundant background.</p>
<div id="attachment_31" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-31" title="lower banner" src="http://blog.tonykieuphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/lowerbanner-300x227.jpg" alt="lower banner" width="300" height="227" /><p class="wp-caption-text">lower banner</p></div>
<p>Here is the lower banner which regroups the partition like fragment and the lower banner.<br />
All of them are cut and now we need to use CSS and HTML to assemble them.</p>

It somehow makes me happy, because the blog is not empty anymore.</p>
<p>Tag cloud is very important from what I read. It is the metadata of the page which google/yahoo etc.. reads to reference your  website to their search engine.<br />
I don&#8217;t expect my website to make first page but I am sure that it&#8217;s a what most website admin are aiming for.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been working non-stop these few days in order to get thing started up again.<br />
I appreciate that I am given a chance to redeem myself.<br />
Here is the draft and final design of the website I was looking to do above.</p>
<p>I decided on the  black color because it reminded me of the color of a piano I used to see a lot when I was young. During the years, going to restaurant, bars and other well known places, piano were often painted black.</p>
<p>With this in mind, I wanted the website to have a elegant color.<br />
The top and lower image were done on photoshop. The first one had heavy use of brush and the second one had some image manipulation going on.</p>
