And once you do the changes, do not freak out if they changes are not reflected immediately. It takes some time for all the DNS servers to reflect the changes made. So, initially, when you type https://xyz.xyz/ it might go to the old host itself. You may need to wait for about 24 hours for it to reflect.I recently added an addon domain name that I bought to launch another blog. Both are hosted at Xisto hosting account. It took about 2 hours for the DNS servers to be updated with the new domain name pointing to Xisto.

Aaaaaaaaah! What is this! What is this!10GB! 500 MB! Goose bumps. Sight fading. Giddyness. :collapses:Guys, what should I say? I was so impressed by your service here at Xisto that I will soon be shifting to Xisto - Web Hosting - may be in two months or so. Now, you give me this. You guys are great - this will definitely help the new members and old ones to establish themselves (if they have not done so already).

Since we are talking about fonts, I think I can point to this blog post by Stuart Brown: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ List of new font standards are given there. I like the new ones already, and I would be good if they made it open fonts like they did for TNR, Arial, Verdana, Georgia and so on.

Come to think of it, it feels odd. I mean, if there are not ads, then why are we getting hosting. What is the point in all the content we create if that does not help Xisto. I say, republish all this content elsewhere and earn more 'dough'

Wow. Can barely remember that post I have made there. Yes, hovis, I did use Pixia at that time. After sometime, I shifted to GIMP. (I did a couple of artworks - check out for some in the Art Digital section). And recently, I have been dabbling around with Inkscape. (Check it out at inkscape.org). I seem to have almost become an Inkscape-addict.

Hey Opaque! Great to hear that Xisto - Web Hosting is doing good. I recommended it anytime some one asked my recomendation for webhost. I would tell them - "Look, I got a Free Host, and their service is great. At the very least, even their paid service would be as good."(Ofcourse, that would lead me to explain them, when to go for a Free Host option and when to go for Paid Host - that is when they do not have time/energy to spend on the forum).I think I will be shifting to Xisto - Web Hosting soon. I still have about 3 months worth credit stacked up here at Xisto. So, if all goes according to plans (you never know ), I will be hosting my sites over at Xisto - Web Hosting servers. ;)Anyway, I am glad too that the ads are off. Some ads seemed not to be office friendly, that too lately. I avoided visiting the forums when I was at office and only visited it when I was at home. Now, it is great, clean and sleek - that too, after the forum upgrade.Again, I would not mind if you had to put ads back on the forum. I could live with that.

Oops! Seems like the intent was lost in translation. I could have made the green to be red or at least, have it sprout as read and gradually turn to brown and then green. It did not cross my mind that they are growth/sprouts out of hear. Yeah sure we can. If not anything, it will give us the satisfaction on working together and also hone our skills. foolakadugie, do you have a blog or website. I am thinking of putting it up at my blog (Splat), where, of course, I would give the credit on concept to you. I would also link to you if you give me the URL on where to link.

The work at my job did extend that I could not work on it yesterday. But today , I have been able to work on it. Here is a direct translation of the work: It was a good learning experience working on foolakadugie's original concept/artwork that can be found in the first post of this thread. As I said earlier, I will be trying another piece of work, seeking inspiration from his work. I will try to bring in my own composition, color combinations, mood and interpretation, and try and execute it with vector art. Again, I must give my due thanks to foolakadugie, Randy Hutchins, for letting me work on this artwork that is based on his original concept.

Well, I will be actually doing it on two fronts foolakadugie. One, I will just try out a vector art impelementation of your artwork itself. It will be definetly nothing but copying, I know, but it will help me study the curves and colors. It will be for my own practice, but I will post it here in this thread itself. There will be nothing of my own in it, other than the conversion work, that I can call my own, and obviously I will give the credit to you. As another piece of work, I have been thinking and doodling around on another concept (that is ofcourse a fork from this one), and this particular piece of work you would be a spark of inspriation in that process. I have been thinking of some more ideas, in terms of some duality that can occur on a person, that I will put in this second work I am talking about. I would again, definetly credit you on the original concept. (But hey! For this one, I will try to stake out as much credit for myself as possible. ;) ) I hope today's work at my job does not eat up a lot of my time and energy - I am looking forward to work on this.

Yes, you can always add more details. That is the flexibility we have when we are working digitally. And I do know how it is when we start to work on something and we feel there is a lot we can do, but we need to do it with in a particular time. Hey, foolakadugie, would it be fine if I tried illustrating this using vector art? I like the concept.

Ah! Niran. Same here for me. I think the MySQL database servers are down.

Amazing concept. Even if the illustration of the heart was not delivered with such finesse I would have liked the concept itself. foolakadugie, it might have looked good if you gave a little bit detail to the flowers and vines. I do not know - may be you did not have a large enough paper to put in the details - OR - you wanted to keep the collage-style. Anyway, a well executed piece. I have an impulse to create a vector art based on this.

Hey, thanks leafbunk. I am almost becoming a vector art addict. I am trying to do an illustration for each and every post at my blog, either written by me, or the others in the team. Thanks, foolakadugie. I tried a little research with the color-balance lesson you gave me for the other "Geese Formation" work. And yes, I was a bit stumped with that brown shape above the fire... I was actually trying to portray the play of light on the bush in the background, so that I can give a bit of depth to it. It did not work out well though.... May be I should have gone for some fragmented angular shapes to render the bush leaves itself. Anyway, I did not have much time, and I wanted to have some illustration for the above mentioned blog post.

Hey Jimmy89, thanks! Thanks, Arbitrary. And here it is. The article is published: Perma-link On an after look, I still see some mistakes with the render of the light, and the shadows. But I think I will just let it be.

Glad that you liked it. Let me know if you want the SVG file. You can edit it using Inkscape.

Well, a little bit more on what the Logo would represent, would be helpful. For example, is it something along the lines - "a team of special effect specialists" or something like that? Well, few minutes with my Inkscape copy gave me this: I did not color it yet, as I am not sure even if it is required - because as I said earlier it all depends on the theme. If you like it you can take it. If you want the SVG file, just let me know.

Woah! That is an amazing list, and so is that site. The page and the site/blog goes to my bookmarks.

The omnipotent-admin has speaketh for the first time on Vyoma's works. :faints: Thanks a lot miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG.

One of my blog-team is writing an article on storytelling/narration. This is a vector art quicky I did for the illustration of the blog post: Edit: Link to the article updated.

Total Effort: 10 hrs Software: Inkscape Thats about it. Nothing fancy. Just kept it simple. And I made it in time. Few more days to go for her birthday.

What a pity, our paths are different. I use Drupal, else I would be glad to work along side you. Good luck.

Lately, I have been thinking on moving from the Wordpress engine to Drupal engine.I already have a Drupal engine (4.7) running at my root. (http://www.example.com/) and I have my blog running in a subfolder (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/).Now, here is why I think I should be moving my Wordpress blog into Drupal:- Both my site and the blog, deals with providing articles and content- Though, posts and writeups are a bit fast moving on the blog, they are rather timeless, and according to my pipeline - I would use them to make in depth articles/content at my site.- I can have better user integration (I have three others with me who write for the blog and for the site), and hence will be easier on the workflow.- I do not need the intesive features of a specific blog engine (like Wordpress) other than reverse chronological ordering and commenting (both of which can be handled by Drupal's modules).What are your suggestions/opnions on this?Both, in terms of generic workflow, and also in terms of the specific Wordpress to Drupal migration.

OK. I seemed to have found a neat solution to the problem. For record, I thought I would share it with the members here. It is nothing along the lines I describe above. The solution lies in a Open Source Free Desktop Publishing (DTP) Software, Scribus. (https://www.scribus.net/scribus-1-4-6-released/) It can import SVG, and it can export to PDF. It can do more, but I will leave that to you - you can check it out at their website. Here is a test PDF I generated. The artwork had been done earlier by me for a blog post, and the text is just the generic 'lorem ipsum' text to give it a genuine feel. It can be found at: dead It is a small file 111kB that has two pages. Check it out - it comes out pretty professional, if you have the knack for it.
