I'm back in the country! Phew!
I'm so sorry about the site - it's kind of been neglected.
But! I have many excuses (not that excuses forgives it).
1. EXAMS - those evil things. Successfully completed eighteen of the most important exams of my life so far by the second week of June. I await the results (but that means waiting until August =/)
2. ILLNESS. That explains it really. I always seems to fall ill at the most inconvienient (I think I may have spelt that wrong but I'm in a rush!) times. Like just before exams or around holidays - never during the most boring classes (read next point!)
3. Starting senior school and new, even more important courses. My new timetable is:
English
Maths
Chemistry
Physics
Biology
*Geek* 
I want to study medicine by the way - that's the reason for all the sciences.
4. GOING ON TOUR WITH THE BAND. Seriously not as exciting as it sounds. More of an orchestra tour, and very much like the dubious "band camp". But it itself was AMAZING.
5. WORK. My boss is giving every single shift there is (small exaggeration, btw.) I would say no, but I need the money!
6. OTHER WORK-TYPE STUFF. To make universtities like me and consequently offer me a place, I need to do all sorts of voluntary, community developing business.
7. PROCRASTINATING. Like writing this.
But seriously, I am extremely busy.
I want to put up a new layout (there IS one in the works), but right now I don't think I will be able to add updates. There are a few things I have made, but I really want to wait until I have more than three things to add 
The resources section has really gone down hill, in retrospect. I might take it down completely until I do something decent.
I will still take layout orders because I really like making layouts. I'd prefer it if you ordered 'professional' layouts - i.e. original layouts that don't use images that belong to other people. And I think I'm better at them. (Also, there's so much stuff that I haven't added to my portfolio. I am better than what is there - if that doesn't sound too big-headed.)
If you want a layout, e-mail me (zombiedesigns @ gmail . com). We will come to some sort of arrangement.
RIght. Too much talking. Bye now.
(PS: Look out for some drastic changes. .)

Yup, I'm still on hiatus, but I wanted to blog.
I'm more than half-way through my exams (I've sat six of nine) and everything has gone okay. Apart from one day when I got gastroenteritis (that's when you can't stop being sick - it was horrible) and I couldn't sit my exam. If only it had been a few days before, that way I wouldn't have missed an exam and had time to recover. But it's okay, the school knows what happened and they've informed the SQA (examining body), which means I should get my grade. Fingers crossed.
Anyway, I really want to add a few premades. I can't use the ones that are already up here because a few weeks ago my computer crashed and I lost everything. So I no longer have the PSD files which means I can't edit the details for anyone who buys them. But I'm working on some new ones which should be available soon.
As I'm still on hiatus and really busy at the moment with school, work and other non-online stuff, I think I'm going to put the site on Premades only. This means you won't be able to order custom layouts or graphics, but you will be able to buy premade ones and request that I make a certain layout. (As much as this seems like ordering a custom layout, there's no guarantee that it will be yours - I'll put it up on the site and someone else might buy it.)
Keep watching for the premades. They're pretty awesome, even if I do say so myself.

I'm going on open hiatus.
I have exams from the beginning to end of May. (AAAAH.) So it means I won't be able to update for a month - not that I have been updating recently due to the fact I decided in my head I was on hiatus but never told anyone. Orders are also closed, and you probably won't hear a thing from me until waaaay into summer (I'm going to the Netherlands straight after the exams finish.)
So basically, I'm not going to be around until, like, July. Oh dear.
Anyway, wish me luck for the impending doom that is my exams.

Today, a quick update to add two sets of icon textures.
Hope you like them!

I. HATE. SPAM.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm under the impression that there are actually people who enjoy spam, but you know what I mean...
THE STUFF SUCKS.
I mean, really, do I actually want to buy Tramadol? No. Do I want the LoveDeluxe 3000? No, I'm quite happy thanks. So why post badly formatted links to it and send me e-mails that don't even make sense? I might change my mind if I hear of a 'Spam success story', but haven't heard of such a thing, so the likelihood of that is... very slim.
And what's worse is when whoever sends you the e-mail or posts a comment tries to be interested in your site. They say things like, "I totally agree... want to buy some Viagra?" Or, like one e-mail I got, add about 100 links and then wish you a good day. I actually laughed at that. If I want your more-than-likely-illegal drugs, I'll come looking for you, okay?
Anyway, something to do with the site would be nice.
I was going to add about 20 new colour schemes when I realised what a massive, massive mistake I had made. They're were great, carefully made so that each was the same size and that the colours were spread out equally. I was so proud of those little guys. Then I came to save them. In a rush, I didn't check the settings and was like, "YEAH! SAVEEEE!" But alas (Dumbledore word! ), this was my downfall... the settings were like on the lowest possible quality they could be. They came out pixelated in bits, and because I didn't save them, I can't make them again. And they're far too poor to put on a website. So I'll have to start from scratch.
Maybe I'll make something else too. Perhaps some icon tutorials and textures...?
PS: And feel free to leave a comment, but make sure it ain't spam because you now know what I'll do.
PPS: After posting this, I checked my e-mail. There was THE BIGGEST spam e-mail ever.
