This is my 500th post. I have been blogging for almost 2 years already. That means I blog around 5 times a week roughly which is not excessive I think.
_(Before I write this post, there are 499 posts; this makes this post the 500^th^.)_
I start constructing this layout since a really long time ago actually. There has been a lot of changes and alterations to this layout. It’s structure is largely based on the wonderful Kubrick that comes with WordPress. It has all the good stuff there already and I don’t see a need to rewrite the whole CSS to make things be original.
I called the layout ‘Lintfree’.
It is a rather strange name to have, it is not even in the dictionary. So what exactly is ‘lintfree’? Well, firstly, I will have to explain what is ‘lint’. In my favorite Longman dictionary, lint is soft light pieces of thread or wool that come off cotton, wool or other material. I view lint as the tiny little bits that come of tissue paper when you try to do cleaning. This can be a problem if you try to clean things like camera lens, it would seemed as if the more you clean, the messier it gets.
There is a special type of tissue paper called lint-free tissue paper. This special type of paper will not make your camera lens have tiny bits of white spots that the normal tissue paper would give. You can even wet the lint-free paper and click your lens and you just won’t get any lint on your lens. Personally, I use one of those for microscopes.
By calling this layout ‘lintfree’, I aim it to be neater, cleaner, more polished than the previous. And hopefully, like the lint-free paper, it wouldn’t leave lint around.
I welcome criticism on Lintfree. Do tell me if you love it or hate it.

I was curious so I checked my blog and I only have 150 entries and 790 comments . You’re killing me
by pketh (May 4, 2005 at 8 PM)xia: No, it is not on purpose, it really is a mistake, thanks for pointing that out. It’s contributed by several people so I have quite a list in the end, it’s all thanks to them. One of the contributors is Event Horizon, he made the suggestion “I came, I saw, I confuse”, I thought it sounded nice and didn’t know it’s wrong until you mentioned. It’s corrected. Minor mistake, hahaa…
pketh: Thanks, pketh. I started earlier than you, hahaa…
by Mr. Dew (May 4, 2005 at 9 PM)Think I told you before, the beconfused word at the top reminds me of billabong shirts somehow. It looks cool. The words you drew especially, and the color scheme..
And yeah, I think you’ve accomplished your aim in this layout to be simple, clean, neat yet appealing. At least for me it is.

That’s a great compliment. I like that beconfused word too, but it looks a little out of place somehow. But it stays, hahaa…
by Mr. Dew (May 4, 2005 at 9 PM)Great job!
