This problem encountered since I moved my server to IIX, which has less bandwidth for international user, and for that reason too, the downstream is too small to download whole WordPress package that used for updating. That’s why, I always get timeout error. So, I’m simply unable to automatically update my WordPress.

However, the solution is actually simple, by increasing the timeout so the download can be completed. Once it is, the updating will going smoothly. So this is how to do it, in manual way.. :)

Now, my blog is do follow. That means, while you are commenting on any of my article, you will get a free backlinks from my blog. But, but, please do not spam! I also has disable trackback as this morning I got about 200 and more trackback that not even related with my blog. While I trying to visit the URL, I just got that the blog has been deleted by blogspot.

For anyone that used WordPress blog and want his/her blog to be do follow, it can be archived by editing the wp-includes/comment-template.php file or by using some plugins. I don’t know the plugins name that do this work, you can search on Google, because I think that editing this file is far more easy. :)

Since this blog launched, I have changed this blog templates three times. So, this is my third WordPress template. The first one, is called as Modern Capsule, that focusing on black, white and red colors. The second one is a simple template, called as Simple Golden Black, which used black and gold as its base color. Now the third one, its a ‘whole’ semi transparent template, that I called as Cross Line. Yup, almost all element is semi transparent. And the interesting one is, it changed the background color based on the current time (GMT +7), from morning to night. lol :) Is it better?

Now is the part 2. If you haven’t read the part 1 yet, go here to read it. If in the part 1 we have make the graphics we need to build the template, now it is the time to play with CSS and HTML. But first, before we going further, we must first understand the WordPress template hirearchy. The WordPress template, in the very minimum, need at least two files, style.css and index.php. We can however have more files that recognized by WordPress to deliver different look on different requested page. But now, we create the standar template, at least we have header.php, footer.php, sidebar.php, index.php, comments.php, functions.php and style.css.

Do you want to create your own WordPress template? It is not hard actually if you have enough knowledge of XHTML (or HTML) and CSS, and a little basic of PHP.

The first part is for preparation and designing, I haven’t touch the coding part yet, it will be on second part.

First is the preparation. For me, I will take a paper and a pen and start thinking of how the template will look like. Hmm… As of now, I will create a simple templates like usual blog template. One header with logo and description on top, one sidebar on left side, the content is on the center (right side from the sidebar), and one footer on bottom. That’s it. Okay, once you are ready then, let’s open your favorite graphics editor. For me, it is GIMP.
