Well. It’s done.

It took me a few days and several complete redos of the entire design, but I think I’m finally content with this new theme. I call it Retro-fitted because the colors are a kind of throwback to some past that I certainly didn’t live in.

As many of you know, I’ve had a good bit of trouble in the last few days. Upgrading from WordPress version 2.5 and bbPress 0.9 has been a disaster for me.

My blog was down for about three days while I was trying to fix things. Another week of trying to get things pieced together would’ve probably made me crawl to some corner and curl up into the fetal position.

I finally decided to create a message board for this site, which I’ll mostly use for WordPress theme support. Right now, it’s entirely experimental, and I want to know what you think. Check out the forums.
After a lot of nagging from users of the Structure theme and finally getting some [...]

Here it is. My completely (I mean somewhere near complete) new theme.
I’m still not sure what I think about it or how comfortable I am with it. Change is hard sometimes. I’ve struggled with what elements I wanted to include for hours tonight, trying to get something to work right, hoping for [...]

I recently came down with some sort of sickness, which is why I haven’t continued my regular posting schedule after the holidays. This is around the fourth time I’ve been sick since I’ve moved to Korea. It probably has something to do with the air pollution, cooler climate, spending a few hours a [...]

What’s that? Free advertising? Tell me more.

October has been a big month for me. I’ve tried to take my blogging, coding, and designing skills to the next level, and I think I’ve accomplished this. I hit quite a few goals, blogged on a regular basis, and learned a lot about creating a better blog with valuable content in the [...]

Don’t let the title fool you. I have a few specific things in mind that I want to accomplish with this blog. I have, however, been constantly asking myself this question lately.
I want to do something new with this site. It’s felt a little stale to me for some time now, and [...]

So, I’m finally getting around to blogging this week. Yes, it’s been a long absence, and I know I said I’d be back on Monday or Tuesday. I actually did come home on Tuesday, but I’ve been lazier than I’ve ever been this week.
I have accomplished a few things though. Let’s get [...]

I keep meaning to mention that I’ve updated my links section. It was well overdue. Of course, I’ve added another 20 sites to my bookmarks since I’ve updated this list. It’s never-ending battle to keep a list of sites I visit. So, take a look and go visit some of those [...]
