Netcraft began to evalutate the new domain of my site on September, 23rd 2008. After one month, the blog made a jump of about 700k positions in their rankings. I thought that I could reach top 30000 in 6 months starting from the domain change .
I’ve just realized that I reached the target in these days. BD-things is currently at position 28850 in the “Most Visited Web Sites” according to Netcraft. I’m above www.vodafone.nl
.
This also means that BD-things.net made a jump of 797573 positions in less than 5 months!
I’m very proud of this result, and hope that this exam session finishes soon to let me come back to post again

2008 has been a
chaotic, beautiful, uncertain, loving, annoying, sad, inciting, exciting, claustrophobic, happy, insecure, agoraphobic, free, ugly, closed, wild, lonely, impetuous, serene, safe
year for me. It has been a year of changes.
I would like to enter this new year in a Zen way. I would like 2009 to be a year of tranquillity and serenity.
I want to free me from heavy, non-important details. I want to be more minimalist.
I want to focus on essence rather than on appearence.
While I’m preparing to act in this way, you can enjoy mi first step, the most easy one: a new Wordpress theme.
You can see BD-theme Zen working on my blog, but you can also download it and modify it under the Gnu GPL license (v.3)
Enjoy.

BD-theme Zen is a minimalistic, imageless, 2-columns, orange Wordpress theme.
Its clean design was inspired by the great style of Dean Lee blog. The theme was quite written from scratch, using Chris Nolan’s modified version of the default WordPress theme as codebase, that is optimized for viewing at 1024 pixels and adds sidebars on pages and posts.
BD-theme Zen is thought for focusing on the content of your posts while maintaining a delicious but clean aspect.

I’m very pleased to announce the final version of BD-theme! For those who don’t know, BD-theme is a widget ready, two columns Wordpress theme. It is written using the default Wordpress theme as php/XHTML base.
The theme is mostly inspired by TorrentFreak rounded layout.
BD-theme exists just because I wanted to write my own Wordpress theme.
You should probably see this theme in action on my blog, or on the testing site .
Anyway, here is a screenshot:

BD-theme 1.0
BD-theme is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict as well as valid CSS 2.1 (check the testing site against W3C validators)
It has been checked with all the most popular browsers: Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 2.x and Firefox 3.0.x, Google Chrome, Opera 9.62.

I’ve finally found the time to make the necessary fixes and improvements to the theme of my blog.
I decided to not name it a final release just because I could not test it with Internet Explorer 6. I believe that the differences with this beta release and the final one will just be some test with that browser and a better code cleanup 
Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict.
Yes, this is the theme you’re actually seeing in the blog.
You can go and download it!

Lettera aperta ai visitatori:
Caro Visitatore,
Se sei uno studente di Design alla LUB e sei capitato alla mia vecchia pagina intitolata “Un messaggio da quelli di design?“, vedi di leggere bene il contenuto della pagina e di distinguere ció che scrivo io, unico autore del blog, e ció che scrive qualsiasi altra persona. Trovo infantile il modo in cui alcune persone si siano accanite su di me confondendomi con ció che hanno scritto altre persone sotto forma di commento.
BD-things.net é un blog/sito che raccoglie articoli e pensieri informatici, soprattutto in inglese e che non hanno quasi mai a che fare con la Libera Universitá di Bolzano. Men che meno con la Facoltá di Design, che si é meritata un mio singolo post. E proprio per niente con sclerate contro gli studenti di Design, persone che non ho mai giudicato male.
Se sei uno studente di Informatica e ce l´hai coi designer della LUB, leggiti un articolo informatico del mio blog o prendili per il culo per i fatti tuoi da un´altra parte se ci tieni, a me non interessa prendere in giro le persone che frequentano design. Ci sono altri blog che lo fanno, non il mio.
Sei sei una qualsiasi altra persona che capita su quella pagina, evita di sparare a zero su studenti di design o su studenti di informatica applicata. Se hai critiche costruttive scrivi pure.
Grazie,
L´autore del blog e unica persona che lo gestisce
Daniel Graziotin.
