Nokia N95 

Just thought I’d let you guys know I received my N95 through the post today!

I’ll test out the X-Series app’s over the next few days and do a review on them (I won’t bother with an indepth hardware review as there are hundereds out there, but will cover the basics).

So far I’m pretty impressed!

Also, I’ve nearly finished the Yahoo! Go 2 Review, and hope to have that finished in a couple of day’s (Time’s tight!)

Blog Updates

Finally, I know :)

Firstly, the theme gallery is up and running, and  as requested the theme’s have been zipped in order to make it easier to download them directly from your phone.
I also implemented a rating system, as well as split up those designed mainly for Widescreen or Standard screen aspect ratio’s (even though most generally work on both fine).

Secondly, I found a Wordpress theme I really liked, but had a few quirk’s I didn’t like that much so I basically started over taking bits from the theme I liked and adding bits of my own and came up with this, so I hope you like it.

There are most likley some quirks with both the blog theme and the theme gallery so if you come across any issues do let me know. I’ve got a couple of bits I’ve found which i’ll fix up over the next couple of day’s but nothing major.

I’m also going to create a mobile version of the theme gallery as I have no idea (I’ll test in a minute) how it will work on mobile devices as it is.

I also have a couple of reviews I’m working on so stay tuned for those!

Anyway, feedback welcome, as well as any bug reports :)

Blog Updates

Hi Guys,

Well, I know things have been a bit quiet around here recently. I have not posted anywhere near as much as I had hoped so I apologise for that and just wanted to let you all know that that will be changing!

I’m midway through a couple of reviews at the moment, and I got quite far with the theme gallery so I will be finishing that off soon.

Anyway, thanks for sticking around and stay tuned as I’ll be way more active :)

Blog Updates

Hi Guys,

Really sorry about the lack of updates the past week or so. I will be posting far more regularaly starting next week.

I’ve been working on a new theme gallery for the blog. Unfortunately the original design I had done ended up causing difficulties with a funky navigation script I was planning on using, and no matter what I tried, I couldn’t get it to work, so starting from scratch its not as funky, but it will definitely serve the purpose and make it far easier to view any themes I put up.

I’ve basically finished the script now so I’ll just be checking compatibility with both the screen orientations (Normal Screen and Widescreen) before uploading and linking the theme’s themselves. The gallery will be online and fully functional on or before Monday Sunday (at the latest) so be sure to check out then and give me some feedback / suggestions.

Thanks for all your patience so far. Getting the blog started has taken longer than I had hoped but this should be it now and I’ll be able to bring you a lot more reviews etc instead of silence.

Also I *THINK* there’s a problem with the header image which I will be attempting to fix (It displays fine on my machine, and my work machine, however it doesn’t on my mobile (it looks like the text is off centre) and in the post preview panel in the blog’s admin.

If anyone could confirm this that would be helpful, as well as maybe providing a screenshot if possible.

Thanks again, and come back in a couple of days :)

Just a quick note to let you all know that I am still here ;)

I’ve been working on the theme gallery quite a lot but unfortunatly it has thrown a problem at me which I am trying to resolve.
Once that’s fixed it’ll be up and running with some new themes and will be easier for you to view and download the themes.

I’m also working on a couple of application reviews which should be up in the next day or two.

Thanks,

K

Blog Updates

As you can see, I have added the categories down the sidebar, but as a result I now have a mysterious white space above the top post so I’ll see if I can get rid of that shortly.
Also, by adding the latest posts back into the sidebar, an error occurs but it seems like a pretty simple problem to fix so they should be back shortly.

I’d like to thank everyone who provided feedback and suggestions. It’s greatly appreciated and if you have any more feel free to let me know :)

I’ve compiled a list of things I am going to do with the blog, mainly filled with your suggestions so keep your eyes peeled for some updates shortly.

In terms of the themes situation, that problem will be redundant shortly as I am building a theme gallery which is funkier and shouldn’t cause any issues in terms of downloading them.

Thanks again everyone, and keep reading!

Edit: Latest Post’s added to the sidebar.

What Do You Want

I’m thinking. Without the readers a blog will fizzle out and dissapear right? So, I wanted to get some feedback from the readers.

If you could post a comment telling me what you like, what you dont like and most importantly, what you would like to see some/more of then I will do my best to provide you with what you want.

Be honest. Be brutally honest if you like. Some things I’ll change, some things I wont ;) There will probably be some things that I can’t change but if you let me know, i’ll see what I can do :)

Thanks for reading X-Series, and thanks for Subscribing to/Advertising the blog.
