love is a drum, hear it beating for you

I’ve been kind of in a runt with my other domains – funnily enough, I manage to design everything but am too lazy/not motivated to add content. So most of HeartWar’s revamp, which was done months ago, is still sitting on my computer T_T. And now that the designs are quite old, I no longer like them. Vicious cycle.

Truthfully, I am not sure if I want to keep HeartWar.NET anymore. Oh no, I love the name. I’m certainly going to keep that. But I find that I no longer have time for managing shrines (or even getting them up, lol) and fanlistings. I’m hoping it’s just a phase but it’s pretty evident after a year of no updates. I still have to think about it though.

In other news, I’ve been on a designing roll. I’ve been creating simple WP themes of late:

 

Admittedly, it looks better when you can actually see it ‘live’ but I won’t show them just yet ^^.

I’m a messy, lazy coder and eventually if something does go my way, I do it the ‘hacky/wonky’ way :) But I really tried to do it the ‘proper’ way and while it was a little tedious, it was also quite liberating. I dunno, my passion for webdesign just flared again :)

For the themes, I was thinking of: 1) Offering it for free. 2) Offer it for only Three-Words hostees 3) Offer it to only paid Three-Words hostees (incentive?) 4) Sell them for extremely affordable prices ^^ 5) Not offer it at all, lol.

The problem with me is that normally, if I design something, I like to keep it to myself rather than share it. LOL! Selfish, I know. But because credits can ‘magically’ disappear. I know people can still steal once you put it on the web etc. but yeah. Sometimes offering a layout/theme for download to some people means ‘we can just copy and paste the coding, yay!’ Urgh.

Which leads me to my next point.

I had a thief problem.

Sometimes I see common coding etc. but given the simplistic nature of my layouts, I don’t go ‘HEY! YOU STOLE FROM ME!’ because honestly, that’s just plain silly and stupid. I didn’t invent coding, just as Stephanie Meyer didn’t invent vampires. But I had someone blantanly rip my previous Sky-Song layout, along with HeartWar and a couple of other layouts. And she refused to acknowledge it or remove them. It became all messy, complicated and in the end I had to resort contacting her host who finally shut her down. Nonetheless, she can just come back again. I’m sure she’s stalking my blog – hi! But I shouldn’t let my life be dictated by ignorant people.

And speaking about ‘selling’ them for a cheap price – I don’t think anyone would actually buy them T_T. They’re simple. Well, admittedly the top two (which are the same themes but light and dark) are a little more ‘different’ but I dunno.

Would you ever buy a theme from me? 

*BRACES FOR REJECTION* :D Hahaha. No seriously, you can say no. I’ll just crawl into a corner and cry  still love you! ❤
