Something Off Topic

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 06:56:25 PST

Thanks to my clients who have been keeping me busy, I see a steady increase in income since I started my blog makeover business. In fact, some had to wait for some time because I was drowning in orders and request for little tweaks here and there. So to my clients my apologies and I will get to your orders very soon.

Slightly off topic, let's talk a little about what I want to do with all this extra cash..lol. Now that I've got my own little business going and some savings stashed away, it's time for, what else, shopping!

Nowadays shopping are not just limited offline. Much like my business which is one hundred percent done online, I can now shop for wigs, shoes, handbag and even designer clothes from the comfort of my own home. In fact, some stores are having an exclusive online offers for specific designs and there are some that even come with deep discounts. I know I have my eyes on some cardigans that I can't seem to find here in Malaysia. You know the kind that don't leave you feeling too hot but cozy enough to keep you warm for a night time evening motorbike ride? Well check it out.. isn't she lovely and worth every penny for sure :)

Anyway, I'm off letting my fingers do the walking and off to make some purchases. After all a girl got to rest someday but remember do contact me should you need my services. I need more kaching to do more shopping.. lol!

Blog Makeover 62: Simply Trini Cooking

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:56:51 PST

Felix wanted a header that looks yummy enough to eat for his equally yummy blog. All his food post had wonderful pictures but as the header can only accommodate one or two images, I chose the most colorful one and here's the result...

The way it used to look...

Gut Feel

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 12:35:42 PST

Sometimes I wish designing headers is as simple as Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. I'm not saying I love math, in particular Algebra but as least with the subject, there is a precise formula that one relies on to get an answer. When I do blog headers, I have to guess what my clients want and sometimes it's not easy. After all I don't know them. I don't know their taste and I don't know what they like or what they don't like.

It's never an exact science when it comes to designing. I have to totally rely on my gut feel. There is no Algebra 1 Answers or Algebra 2 Answers. My designs depends solely on the answers that my client furnish me before I start to work. Most times, fortunately, I get it spot on but sometimes it does get challenging to really make my clients love what I have done.

Much like students getting Algebra 1 Help and Algebra 2 help at online tuition centers like TutorNext dot com, I get some inspiration from some design sites online too. Thank goodness for the internet eh?

Learning As I Go Along

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:47:34 PST

One of the things I love about my blog makeover business is the variety of bloggers and people that I meet everyday. I get request from people of all walks of life (blogs). From cook blogs, to saving money blogs, from shopping for wigs blog to shopping for men blogs, I entertain them all and these request really keeps me on my toes and test my creative skill (which I thought I never had before).

Much the same way I impart some of my knowledge regarding blog makeover to my clients each time I use a new term that they never heard of of, I learn lots of stuff from them too. For instance when I do the wig client, I learn that they are such thing as front lace wigs that actually make it looks like you have baby hair! Then of course the shopping blogs teaches me what are the difference between men's blazers and sports jacket.

So "Yes" I definitely love my blog makeover business and if you love my blog makeover too and want to get your own exclusive look, contact me today. I'll be waiting for ya!

Wordpress Blog Makeover 1: Comatised

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:37:14 PST

Before I left for Singapore, I got a chance to do my very first blog makeover on WORDPRESS! Jamie was blogging on another blogging template called MovableType and wanted to switch to wordpress for personal reasons. However, since she loved the template she already had, all she wanted me to do was to do an identical layout from her existing layout.

So here it is. I did the basic layout coding, install the header, put in the background, make sure the colors are the same and Jamie did the widget installation herself :)

So folks.. yes.. LadyJava Creations is now doing WORDPRESS blog makeover !

Blog Makeover #58: Inside Hollywood

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:48:57 PST

After a little twitting about a site that a lot of us use to blog with, Bill decided that he has had enough and wanted to blog on his own turf and his own domain.

He bought a domain name, set up it and commissioned me to do his blog makeover. As Bill is a friend and a repeat client, I was only too happy to accommodate him despite my busy and crazy schedule. I picked out a template that would suit the blog's concept, amended the blog custom header that I did for him once before and within a few hours all is ready and set to go.

Check our the new and improve Inside Hollywood!

I love this template so much that I might even use it for LJC soon. lol!

Customised About/Contact Page

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 06:31:34 PST

As many of you know I have a few (understatement of the year) blogs to my name so much so that it is quite tedious most times to let people know of all their names and url. I thought about making name cards but never found the time to design, much less to send it to the printers. So.. I did the next best thing, I created an "about me" page with links all my blog addresses together with a link to a "contact me page" that visitors can use to write to me.

I found a free hosting site that gives excellent storage and bandwidth capacity and set to work and here's the end result.

So if you want your very own unique "About/Contact" page, please contact me and we can get to work immediately :)

What Kind of Shopper Are You?

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 00:21:47 PST

I've just taken the Shopping Quiz and found that I'm a Sales Diva. I'm thrifty and fashionable and it seems I know where to get all the best bargains.. and that is so true. However no matter how thrifty I am, I tend to go on impulse buying sometimes and that is what gets me into trouble until I had to resort to debt consolidation one time :(

Oh well, that's in the past so let's talk about fashion and style instead. Though I'm not a trend followers or by far a trend setter, I know what suits me and my body type and I also tend to lean to the safe side. I used to love dark colors especially black but since moving out here to Malaysia, I can't stand the heat that the dark colors absorbed and so totally change the color of my wardrobe. My style is simple yet it can fit to almost any setting and event. Most times I stress on comfort. I hate ironing clothes and it's reflected by the clothes materials in my wardrobe.

Much like fashion, the style that I use for my blog makeover is simple yet classy. I don't like cluttered look and I try to make the template as user friendly as possible so that my clients can do the changes themselves long after I am no longer in the picture. I also go the extra mile when it comes to my clients. I not only tweaked the template, I tweak the widgets that you have installed too so that it matches the new template in terms of size and location. So you can see, my fee is really affordable and some even call it CHEAP!

What are you waiting for, order your blog makeover with me today.

How to Save in 2010

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 07:34:43 PST

This new year will see more and more things getting expensive with more people having less purchasing power. I've started feeling the pinch even last year but nothing beats the frustration as when I was at the supermarket recently buying my favorite instant coffee mix, tea, some groceries and all of these, though only filling up one measly plastic bag and despite me using coupon codes, cost me RM57.60! That is simply ridiculous I say.

So how can we save money in this dwindling economy, where there is a stagnant in income but an increase in price in everything else? Well I could list down 30 Ways to Save Money but here I would list only a few to share with you.

As we almost never use the car, Azwaj saves money by taking on a third party car insurance policy instead of a comprehensive one this year.
We ride the motorbike as much as possible. Not only is it faster to get around with, we can also save on petrol. A full tank only cost RM8 and it still gets us to the place we are going to!
We try to eat at home as much as possible. Yes it may mean more work for me as I have to cook but at least we know it's more nutritious and economical :)

These are the things we are doing this year. The first two is easy enough though the third one is really a challenge especially given our home scene these days. On my part to help you save money yet still have that individual look for your blog, I will keep my blog makeover fee the same as last year! How's that for a new year good news? lol! So contact me soon ya!

Blog Makeover 56: Bloggin2Noggin

I've done this blog makeover a while back but was totally preoccupied with something else and so just posted today.

Alyssa wanted a retro movie/tv feel to her blog. The header is animated. I've also added the "Behind the Scene" graphics for the cast in her blog. I also helped her with creating "pages" for the menu nav bar.

Freebies Coming Your Way..

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 06:51:24 PST

Sometimes, when all you do is be creative, you just want to take a break and smell the roses like they say. Unfortunately what I smell most times is cigarette smoke from A. I really don't mind him smoking but sometimes I really wished he stopped. It's not like he is addicted or anything (because he can go without smoking whenever we are at his parents place) it's just that he loves smoking.

As I was researching some stuff for my online work today, I came across a site called Electronic Cigarette Source, a top site for Electronic Cigarette information online and their product really intrigued me.

It's an Electronic Cigarette. This product looks like a cigarette and taste like cigarette but without the harmful effects of the cigarette. The best thing about these Smokeless Cigarettes is just that. It is smokeless so no second hand smoke for me. These Electric Cigarettes uses lithium battery power to run and a e-cigarette kit that comes with varying levels of nicotine. Like I say before.. interesting product right? I'm seriously thinking of taking advantage of the Electronic Cigarette Free Trial but unfortunately it is only for US residents. Ok well :(

Anyway.. I'm working on some freebies blog makeover template soon so stay tune!

Give A Blog Makeover As A Gift

noreply@blogger.com (LadyJava) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 06:20:54 PST

I love the end of the year celebrations especially Christmas and although I don't celebrate the occasion in the religious way because I'm not Christian, I totally enjoy all things associated with the holiday. I mean who does not love the parties, the Christmas trees, the gifts and most of all the sales that comes during the period. All store owners are offering deep discounts everywhere. And what's best is nowadays, you don't even have to visit stores to get your gifts or discounts anymore. You can do your online shopping from the comfort of your home, in your jammies and on your favorite coach without the crowd and without the traffic jam.

The gifts that you can buy online nowadays for your loved ones not only include jewelery, clothes, shoes, accessories and the latest online games like Burger Shop 2 or Bejeweled, you can even consider getting a new blog makeover from yours truly for your BFF online. For a limited time offer till December 25th, I'll even throw in a 50% discount on the the second blog makeover you purchase. Now that's a grand idea right? What's that they say? A new look for the new year?

Please contact me for more details ok :)
