Guides on Request

22 Oct

I’m working on couple of guides on Vista (Sidebar and UI). But you can submit your request for guides/tutorials too. Just leave a request in comments section of this post, or goto Contact Info  and email to the address mentioned there. Leave requests to almost anything, anything that pops up in your head, or that has been bothering you for a while. And I’ll do my best to write up a guide on the same.

Cheers! 🙂

New layout!

15 Oct

I updated Live! Word with new layout 🙂 . This one’s much cleaner than the previous. It’s easy on eyes, my posted images don’t get cut-off by the sidebar on the right anymore and overall it looks professional 😉

Cheers!
P.S.: New mods and guides coming up shortly 😀

Sorry for no updates :(

14 Oct

Hey!

I know I haven’t written any tutorial or guide in past few days. The thing is I’ve been really busy with my life (and studies) that I rarely find any time to actually sit down and write a guide (taking screenshots after screenshots and editing them takes time). I’ve got quite a few mods and guides lined up to post here and will do it as soon as I get enough time.

Till then, however, you can visit eXPerience the “V”. You may find some cool and useful stuffs there (computer related o’course 😛 )

Well, I’ll do my best to update this blog with guides and tutorials soon, so hang around 😉
