@Vint: Ahem? Let’s say the rest of the newspaper collected dust, and newspapers use different fonts on different articles anyway :-P. Still, it’s a very awesome piece of work ya got there!

P.S.: Hmm, I don’t know if even Second Life will stick around for another 4 years in this pace! People are destroying it faster than Earth :-S. (Yeah, this year I chose Environmental Science as the - other - select course… Pretty interesting and awesome :-})

Actually, Mr Paine, when some time is inserted, it is not such a hard thing to pull off. It would make an excellent WP theme:

See the round corners everywhere on this blog? Those are graphics. If you just replace them by the torn paper effect, and color the inside of each post in grey, and make a paper background and match some other stuff, it’s easily doable. (Yet still a lot of work! ;))

Have to agree with Smiley - that is a great photoshop faux newspaper article !!! If I had those mad skillz, I would do my entire blog in that format! :-)

I think I’ve been to Club Paradise Lost, haven’t I? Definitely have not met Helena, however, but then, I haven’t met half the cool people in SL.

Oh, and love the header image across the top of the blog, as well - excellent colours. :-)

Tiessa, I told Veyron you would be jealous if you did not get to see Helena Kirkorian! :d

Smiley: I hope she’s still around when you turn 18, it’s one of the avatars you should meet at least once in your Second Life. And thank you for the compliment. There is a minor colour difference on the two paper textures… oh, and the type fonts… and the graphic… but euhm… who notices? ;)
