			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just noticed that I&#8217;m listed in <a href="http://hiddenpixels.com/designer-work/work-portfolio-using-wordpress/" target="_blank">Hidden Pixels</a>, there have an article about work portfolio using <a href="http://www.wordpress.com" target="_blank">WordPress</a>. Wordpress is not only blogging platform it is much more than that, it is used as (Content Management System) CMS to create professional websites, articles and designers are using wordpress to create their work portfolio, personal website and etc. Check out the list in Hidden Pixels, many best examples of WordPress portfolio website.</p>
<h3>What is Content Management System (CMS)?</h3>
<p>CMS is a computer application used to create, edit, manage, and publish content in a consistently organized fashion. CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, versioning, and publishing industry-specific documentation such as news articles, operators&#8217; manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, and marketing brochures. The content managed may include computer files, image media, <span class="mw-redirect">audio files</span>, video files, electronic documents, and Web content. (<em>from Wikipedia</em>)</p>
<h3>Using WordPress as CMS</h3>
<p>WordPress can be customized into a full fledged CMS, and many people are   <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Matt/WP_as_CMS" target="_blank">already doing just that</a>.</p>
<p>Changing WordPress into a CMS involves customizing the Theme and possibly the Administration Panels through the use of coding and <a title="Plugins" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins">WordPress Plugins</a>. While you don&#8217;t have to be an expert in XHTML, CSS, or PHP, it does help. All of the following are optional and you can use one or any combination to change WordPress into a CMS.</p>
<p>By the way, I&#8217;m available for freelance work currently, <a href="http://www.dream-design.net/?page_id=70">XHTML / CSS</a> slice and coding service ya~ <img src='http://www.dream-design.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><strong>Do you remember the very first drawing you draw?</strong></p>
<p>I still remember my very 1<sup>st</sup> time of drawing a picture. It was in 1990, I was in preschool, I was a passive boy, but not when I’m in doing art, I started in love with art because of a main reason, I love to think a lot and I like things’ fantasy and weirdo, but according to my family financial last time, my parents can’t afford to buy toys or something I like which is very interesting and mostly were expensive.</p>
<p>Well, then, one day I wanna buy something but my parents just let me down. I feel so disappointed. I keep thinking, is there any other way for me to have what I want? Suddenly I’ve found that at least I can draw it out. At least I know with the picture I draw I can enjoy with my imagination.</p>
<p>The very 1<sup>st</sup> time I draw is absolutely like mostly the children’s sketching and I know I can’t get to the imagination with the level like this. Then I start doing imitating and from time to time my art skill improving without my knowledge.</p>
<p><strong>What is art for you?</strong></p>
<p>I say art is based on appreciation mindset with passion in creating any kind of the form in this universe.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.dream-design.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/nash-01.jpg" /></p>
<p>Can art bring any goodies to me except feeling satisfy or having a marvelous artwork? Sure! Because everything is part of art and if anything comes to you means that art already bring something to you.</p>
<p>People will usually think that art people will get suffer in life all of the time. My answer is, yes, and so do the other kind of job because the mindset is suffer. So, ignore what the surrounding bring the negative minded or act to you, keep concentrate, go for it, and anyone will found that art can be something as well~!</p>
