Yes I’m Still Theme Ranting

   Posted by: jude   in Mature Not Senile Misc

I just created a new blog so that I can test widgets and themes before I use them on my real blogs and I had to use the upgraded  version of WordPress. I don’t know if I like the upgraded version or not, but the theme I tried yesterday certainly works on it and it certainly wont work here. I will try to get reciprocal drops done at some point today, but I can see I have a lot to consider with the options before me.

If I do decide to upgrade I will have to play with the new blog to see if I like it first because it’s laid out different from what I’m use to. I know I will have to deactivate all my widgets beforehand because the last time I did an upgrade I lost everything because I didn’t do that and I didn’t have a recent backup so the young man had to use what I had and I lost a lot of work I had done and time. I was very upset for a week.

Changing Themes Again

   Posted by: jude   in Mature Not Senile Misc

Well crap I thought I had an okay design, but there is always something wrong somewhere and the one I had on today decided it didn’t want to show comments so here I am back with this one until I work on a different one. So just look over my fumbling and hopefully I’ll have something different up soon. Like I said I hate having the same one that I see all the time now. Thanks for being so nice and thanks to my 2 last commenter’s on the last post that liked the one I had up. The force seems to be against my template tonight.

Monday Blog Update

   Posted by: jude   in Mature Not Senile Misc

This is a Monday update about the blog and my weekend. Well, I decided on this theme for now. I am hoping I put everything on here that was on the other one and haven’t totally messed it up. Let me know if you like this one please. I’m also thinking about upgrading the wordpress, but I don’t know if it’s stable and if people are still finding a lot of problems with it.

I will get back to my regular routine of dropping today and hopefully get some other things done. E-mail always piles up with tons of spam even with filters and sometimes a lot of family and serious mail gets put in there so I always have to go through and make sure I find it and that gets to be a royal pain.

My weekend was pleasant and we didn’t get the storm that was predicted so we had two good days outside. Unfortunately I didn’t get a lot accomplished with commitments on the Internet, but I’m sure with Summer everyone will be spending more of their time doing activities with their family. We can’t spend all our time working.

Bill normally does the grocery shopping, but I went with him this week because he said he gets tired of eating the same stuff all the time. Since he is the one shopping he could mix it up, but he doesn’t. At any rate I’m not allowed to go any more because he spent 70 dollars over what he normally spends. I never said I was a good shopper, in fact I am one woman that hates to shop.

As noted in my last post I’m going to change the look of my blog so I was looking at this site that has free wordpress themes. I saw a lot of neat ones that I haven’t seen before so now I’m undecided. I thought I had chosen the perfect one for me until I saw these.

I know I definitely want 3 columns, but some of the two columns I liked also. I guess I can always download the ones I like and try them all out. I just need to make sure I’m backed up so I don’t lose anything.

I love the theme I’m using because it reminds me of old world just like me so it’s going to be hard to give it up. I know a lot of people get tired of their themes and are always looking for something different.

I kind of like this Rainbow Garden Theme, but I think I saw someone I drop EC’s on using it. I want one that other people don’t use that much and the one I’m using now I see all the time.

If you’re looking for something different yourself you may want to check out these themes and see what they have to offer. Hopefully when you drop by Monday I will have everything done and no mishaps.
