About Me and My Blog
Welcome to my blog Dimox.net!
My name is Dmitriy and my nickname is Dimox. I am a web developer from Russia, blogger and freelancer since 2006, I have Russian blog with an average popularity.
I earn money online providing web development services:
- markup web sites from PSD to HTML & CSS;
- create templates (themes) for WordPress.
Also I make money with some other ways, like advertising banners, selling links, affiliate programs.
CSS, HTML, jQuery
I made my first website in 2003. From that time I was carried away by web development, so I’m doing this including today.
Previously I have used only tables for markup. Since I became a freelancer in 2006 I began to use <div>s instead of <table>s.
In 2008 I became acquainted with jQuery. I very like this framework, therefore actively use it on my sites and write various useful scripts. I am one of the authors of online web 2.0 tool CSS Layout Generator. His interface works on jQuery.
WordPress
Since 2006 I actively make themes for WordPress on order. During this time I have created a several plugins. My favourite plugin is jQuery Comment Preview.
My English
Despite the fact that I studied English entire 9 years (5 – in school and 4 – in colledge), my knowledge level of English is still poor, so I have to work with the dictionary. Improving my knowledge of English is one of the goals of this blog.
I use Google Translator while writing and translating texts.
This Blog
As you might guess, this blog is dedicated to web development and main themes are CSS, HTML, jQuery and WordPress. Also I may write on another related topics such as web standards, web browsers, SEO etc.
Dimox, I don’t want to upset you, but there are lots of mistakes almost in every sentence. The first thing that cut my eyes, when I entered the blog was “The Russia”. That’s a bad mistake.
P.S. Great idea – to start an English blog to learn English, to comunicate with native speakers and to earn more money! :)
I wish you luck!
I agree with him))) i learn this theme in school now)) If you say “Russia”, you should not write “The”, but if you say “Russian Federation”, “The” sould write necessary.
P.S. sorry for my english:)
Yan – things don’t “cut” your eyes, they “catch” your eyes. That’s what we say in the UK anyway.
Dimox – youe English makes perfect sense to me. Don’t worry about spelling and grammar so much. Most British people can barely speak their *own* language these days ;o)

Hi Dimox: in partial response to the comment above. Yours is the third wordpress theme I’ve tested out. By far, it’s been superior to the other 2, cleaner, easier to use and less glitches. I’d rather have that than perfect English ANY day…:)
I am using your Оrаngе Flоwеr template. I like your header graphic way better than my own. Please, is the photo available for purchase anywhere? I might use it on my business card.
Also, can you tell me what is the symbol you use in the background? What does it mean?
And finally, how can I make a donation to you for the design work you did on this wonderful theme?
Thanks, Dimox

Hi, Barbara. Thank you for your feedback, I’m very pleased.
An original photo I found here, it’s free.
I don’t know, it’s just a pattern that I found somewhere on the Internet.
May be later I will say, how you can make a donation, but for now this is not available.
Hi, Dimox!
There’s a mistake in the text above. You’ve written “When writing and translation text I use a widget “Google Translator” for the Opera browser, created by myself.” and a better variant sounds like this: “I use Google Translator for Opera while writing and translating texts for my blog. I’ve made it myself“.
Maybe this isn’t the best one, but.. :)
PS Hello from Russia, Rostov-on-Don. I do professional html/css layout too.
Thanks.
It’s really nice and fantastique blog… go on
I’ll be follow your blog… god hopping
Thanks! Welcome ;0)
Hi Dimox, excellent job, well done! Can you send me your rates by email? for psd>html and psd>wp conversions?
Great stuff so far. I Look forward to seeing more from your blog. Thanks.
Privet Dimox, i was just wanted to thank you for your google translator gadget in opera, it saved me so many times, i use it to speak with my Russian friends all day C: and the only two things i would like to be improved, 1º its if you could add the “automatic” translation that Google offers now, and 2º if i can change the hotkey combinations, I would like to change the ctrl+enter for something else. ( its difficult to press in spanish keyboards the right ctrl+enter… C: ) that is it, Thanks once again for the gadget C: Saludos from Argentina, mata né!
Hi, i will look what I can do with that.
Privet Dimox, Nice to see you again, I Have been Facing seen last day, Problem in the translation, Error translation. Can This have something to do with the new features of Google Translator? Please, could you take a look? C: Thank you very much anyway for this tool, which i can not live without.
I don’t know about the new features. Where can read about them?
For Now, i can only show this Pop up from google Translator itself…http://i66.servimg.com/u/f66/12/56/43/93/privet10.jpg , Tell me if i can help you in anything, Good Luck.
This is what is happening lately: http://i66.servimg.com/u/f66/12/56/43/93/privet11.jpg , simple can not translate, and the % of errors is rising, up to 50% in some moments….
Sorry, i don’t know the reason.
Dimox, just browsed your blog. Great web design work, and great work on learning English… keep it up!
Thanks, Danny! ;0)
P.S. Design of blog is not mine.
Hi Dimox,
Hope you are doing well and happy. I have the orange flower header which I really, really love!!!!!!!!!! The only thing is that I am having problems with this template doing advanced post. If I write a post and do not want it to post until tomorrow it will miss the schedule and never post.
Can you tell me what I can do about that I would really appreciate your help. You picked a winner with this orange flower. It is so beautiful and gives me such a happy feeling when I look at it. I would hate to not use it because I can’t do advanced posts on it.
Thanks so much in advance for your help.

The problem you have described does not depend on a theme you are using. It’s an old problem of WordPress.
Try to find the ‘Scheduled M.I.A.s’ plugin. It helps me to resolve this problem.
“My first web site I was made in 2003.” –> should be “I made my first website in 2003.” Don’t use passive voice if you are the doer of an action.
“I doing” –> should be “I’m doing” (the missing verb “to be”). However it’s better to use Present Perfect Continuous (”I have been doing”) here as the action started in the past and continuous into the present.
Anyway you are doing a great job!
Greetings from Crimea!
Many thanks!
Hey Dimax,

Great tool the Article Directory that you’ve developed. Can you contact me regarding an install and some mods?
Great site. well designed, i like it.

Hey Dimox,
Being a lover of languages, I now can say I speak almost 3 languages – English, Spanish – and I’ve achieved partial mastery of Portuguese and Bahasa Malaysia. How hard is Russian to learn? I read something that you’ve got more “tenses” in Russian than English and Spanish have, so that will be a challenge. I think I’ll be learning Mandarin and French first…
Let me know if you’d like corrections. In fact, when I lived in Spain for a year, we did “intercambios”. I’d meet a Spanish friend, and we’d spend an hour speaking Spanish, then an hour speaking in English. That was great.
I’ll suggest that you and I could spend an hour speaking in English, but about PHP and Wordpress themes and JQuery – whatever the heck that is! Please drop me an email if this sounds interesting. And I’d be very happy to repeat this a couple times each week.
Cheers!
Tim
Hello Dimox,
Can you please get back to me by email. I have some project for you and will be paying you every month. It’s important. Thanks for a great work. And your English is improving greatly, by the way, :)
Waiting to receive your reply.
Hi Dimox,
I’ve been reading the previous posts. I think your English is great, you are doing very well. Thank you for the Orange Flower theme, I love it! Any chance for a compatibility upgrade to include browsers other than IE? I find that with other browsers, like Chrome, the right side bar is not visible. I’d love to know if you have plans or suggestions for this. Thanks,
Nikki
I do not plan to modify Orange Flower theme.
Thanks Dimox,
Strangely enough, the problem resolved when I upgraded wordpress! Thanks again for the theme, it is wonderful.
Nikki
Hi Dimox,
where did you get your header image form?
Thanks for reply,
Mike (PL)
I’m using free WordPress theme.
hi dimox,
malaysian here ! :) can u tell me how you make the popular post plugin ? it’s quite catchy.
I have used Popular Posts plugin + jQuery script + CSS.
This is a great site, so I put a link to your website in the footer at “Powered by” since I use part of your work in my website. I hope that is ok with you.
Take care,
Harald
Okay. Thanks! ;)
you are welcome
Hi Dimox
I use the faq-accordion plugin on this page http://www.iskanorfalsterbo.se/?page_id=54 , and it does what I need except that all tabs a closed when I open the page and it does not close the open tab when I open a new. I would like it to open the first tab when I open the page, and close any open tab when I open a new. I used the Sidebar Tabs plugin before, but it dragged down the whole site. It took for ever to open any page. I wonder if you would like to improve on this plugin and make the new version your own? It would for sure be something many people would appreciate.
Regards,
Harald
Sorry, that’s not interesting for me. But I think there is a script, which have functionality that you need. There are a lot of accordion examples in the Internet.
Hello Dimox,
I wanted to thank you for the theme you posted on Wordpress (Orange flower), it was quite successful and people loved it.
I am using it for a free yoga website, and this helps people to feel joyous just to see this beautiful design.
Thank you very much

Hi Dimox, Hats off for you. I’m from India. I’m a web developer (Wordpress) stepping to Zend framework in my new company. :)
Please believe that things won’t go bad for your bad English while you are having very good knowledge in something.
That’s the way I’m thinking. Best of luck buddy, keep going :)
Many thanks! ;)
hey… dimox
I am website developer as well.
Really you have good experience, hope that you visit my site.
Nice to meet you.
Hi, can you help me do some custom work
Hi Dimox! I was wondering if you could tell me how to add a language to the widget (Google translator) that you. and also I, use. Google translator has only a few languages but I really like the interface. It would be nice if it could say the word or phrase also.
I am teaching English here in the Philippines, and there are many dialects that would be useful for me to teach with.
I wish there was a blank template similar to the Google Translate widget,(with the above mentioned speak ability also, that was customizable, in that I could just install my own word database, or dictionary, as I have compiled extensive word lists of each dialect.. Can you tell me how to do this?
Localisation is located in languages.js file which is inside the widget file.
wanted to make sure i gave the right e-mail. SIGBEN1@GMail.com, Thanks!
Hi Dimox,
Do you do freelance work?
¨
Kind regards,
Daniel
Hi, yes, I do.
Hey Man,
Regardless English, You’ve proven yourself a perfect web designer and web developer and that’s the thing you needed. Forget about English, because you can make everyone understand easily..
Nice blog :) mine is here: http://www.bestbloggercafe.com
Thanks man! =)
But one moment – I’m not web designer. Design of this blog is a free template (if you talking about it).
Your blog is really great and informative. I like the solution of breadcrumb especially.
Wish to have comment system like yours. :) is there any nice plugin for like this or this is a special coding your your web site from you?
Cheers,
Thanks! I’m using only one plugin for comments – jQuery Comment Preview.
