November 25, 2007 The redesign is coming along quite nicely. I finished up the How to make a Wordpress Theme Tutorial at wpdesigner.com and I am now in the process of getting everything in to the layout i am using. Once that is complete I am going to start working on the typography and then the graphics/colors. I can’t believe how easy it is to theme wordpress now that I have a better handle on the template tags and how everything is laid out. I’ll post some screenshots at some point of my work in progress.

November 21, 2007 Mozilla released the Beta 1 of Firefox 3. After messing with it for all of 10 minutes I amd really surprised how frigging quick this thing is. This seems alot better then 2.x. When I get some more time I am going to play around with some of the new features.

November 8, 2007 I am still plugging away at my new design and the quest to learn wordpress theming. I have the final layout all done in a simple xhtml and css layout. I am currently following along on small potato’s most excellent wordpress theming tutorial. So far I am learning more on how to put together a theme then I ever did. If you are somewhat fluent in xhtml/css/php it can be a little slow reading because he does spell out what exactly everything is doing. However this is awesome material for someone new who is just learning about coding for the web for the first time.

November 5, 2007 I know I been saying this for a long time, but I am finally getting around to working on my own custom wordpress theme finally. I am taking the fixed 3 over 4 column layout from CSS Tinderbox and using that as sort of a base. I am going to drop the bottom 4 cells and keep the top 3.
What I am currently working on is getting everything laid out how I want it. Once I am finished with that I am going to create the actual wordpress “theme” with it and not decorate anything yet. Once I get that done, I will then go back and start working on making it all pretty.
The reason I am breaking this up into chunks is so that I actually get this project done. Before I got so overwhelmed with the big picture and how i am going to make it look that I got discouraged. This time around I am going to get everything laid out first and working before I even start worrying about making it look pretty. Hopefully by that time I will have a good idea on the colors and shit like that.

November 1, 2007 Yea, I hit fucking Bambi on my way to work tonight. I am fine, a little shaken. I am not so sure about the Deer. I didn’t hit her too hard and it took off running. However from what it looks like I am going to need a new hood and passenger side head light. The passenger side quarter panel and bumper doesn’t look damaged. So instead of going to bed when I get home, looks like I will be calling my insurance agent and get the ball rolling on getting the car fixed.
