FAQ / questions and answers
Q. How long does it take you to create a layout?
A. Often a whole day or even two, It depends on whether I have a clear vision of what I want to do and whether it changes along the way. I work on some layouts for weeks if I don't have a clear vision or get bored along the way.
It takes a lot of time to find graphics, and it also takes time to clean up the code so that the layout is ready for publication.
Opinion about AI?
Maybe a bit contradictory. I don't recommend coding websites with AI. Websites look much more personal when you hand-code them.
I personally use AI when I need a specific piece of javascript and can't find help with it anywhere else. For example, the JS widgets on my layouts (clock, weather, tumblr, calendar) and some of the more complex navigations on layouts are created by AI.
I know that AI can make mistakes, so I don't like to rely on it.
Q. Is it OK to copy the current layout of Itinerae?
A. In short, no. I have here many free layouts, go there if you need one. Taking inspiration is OK. If you want to look at the source code to see how something is done (and copy it for yourself) that's perfectly fine too. But copying the entire layout completely is something I don't like and I'll never understand.
Q. How can I contact you?
A. By sending an email to pixinerae@gmail.com
Q. Do you take requests or commissions?
A. I'm not doing commissions right now. You can of course wish for a certain layout, but I can't promise to do it, it all depends on my inspiration. :3
Q. Why is your site located on Blogger?
A. There was once a site called BlogSkins. People could post their own blogger templates there. That website was huge inspiration for me. I have had a (private/friends only) blog on Blogger since 2008.
I am so used to the Blogger interface that i have never felt like moving my sites anywhere else. I like that i don't have to add the whole layout separately to each page. I just edit the blog "posts" as I want.
Q. How did you create this site on Blogger?
A. I use Blogger's "classic templates". Not any XML or such. I only need a small piece of Blogger's own code, otherwise I code the site like anyone else.
