Im currently working on a new design, which is why the site hasn’t been updated for a while. The new design will be up during the next few weeks, when its about ready. When it is done I might make a tutorial for it, depending on the requests and the time I have to do it.

The new design will be completely different from the default wordpress template Kubrik. But I will still host the tutorials on how to change the kubrik template tutorial.
