I have abandoned Favatars in favor of Gravatars. You can see them in action when you make a comment.

Server Upgrade

My re-hoster was doing server upgrades last night. I really wish that they would tell me these kinds of things. It seems like I am the last to know.

I was never told that they were upgrading the web mail, nor was I told that they were upgrading my storage space and bandwidth. (Not that I am complaining, but that would be nice to know.)

Last night I log on to post, and there is a blank page, literally. For some reason, WordPress could not connect to my databases. This is why I would like to know these things. I strive for perfections, and cannot stand when things go wrong and there is nothing that I can do about them.

Upgrade

I have upgraded AFG to WordPress 1.5.1. I have given up the nightly builds for the time being, although I still read the daily discussions and digests.

Themes

I am on the eve of the my first release of a WordPress theme. I know that a lot of people can make better themes, but this is my first one that I have put out, so I think that there is some sort of accomplishment there.

The only tasks that I have left to complete are to make a couple of minor tweaks in some of the included files and to remove my customization. Then all I will have to do is zip it, but it in a tarball and upload it for your perusal.

I have come up with the title Writers Block, since designers block is what inspired this theme.

Renewed Vigor

I have decided it is time to finish my own theme for WordPress 1.5. I have been looking to complete since the final release of “Strayhorn,” but after a month and a half of using my laptop, which has a hard enough time staying online…

and trying to find a job…

and adjusting to civilian life…

and adjusting to my wife working full time…

I have just now gotten back to working on my theme.

Feel free to see the development of A-Family-Guy Theme.

The preview may not work in IE. The preview works just fine in IE, I just forgot that you needed to log in. Registration is open if you would like to see the preview. Get Firefox. anyways.
