Tinkering

Trying out some new themes and trying to get them to look the way they think they should….some are easier than others.
eta: finally getting some of this stuff tacked down. Got the ad space looking proper, the logo changed (temporarily), and some of the social links added. New faveicon is surely next.

Under Construction

Working on a new theme to match the forum one. Site may experience temporary downtime, lack of sidebar or periods of randomness. Please stay tuned for updates and a return to normality.

Forums and Stores and Updates-Oh My!

So I’ve been toiling away on the hidden backside of the site. A forum and a store are in order for the future. Somewhere to chat and share information and whatnot. And somewhere to possibly offer coupon organizers and coupons themselves-should I see sufficient interest to start a clipping service. Just have to finish tweaking the interfaces, fleshing out the framework and making it all look pretty.

Stay tuned.

Spiffy New Logo

Tried to make a cute logo for the header of the site. Having issues getting it to go there…been awhile since I had to read code and use divs. But I edited it to make a cute about me logo. And am working on finding a fave icon plugin. After that comes various buttons, etc. Gotta be all professional looking right?

Facelift

The holidays are over and so is my excuse for not getting this place in order. So I am working on a new theme, as well as buttons, blinkies, and other linkable content. Also going in will be some affiliate marketing and perhaps Google content. Not quite sure what I want to add in, and it will in part depend on the template I end up with. Too much stuff in too few columns looks tacky. But everything should be straightened out soon. I hope.

The Winter Blahs

So my husband got a cold, then shared it with me. Between the office mis-ordering and the company mis-delivering while I was sick its been a rather flustered couple weeks around here. To top it off I think I may have fractured my ribs coughing. Woke up yesterday morning with a huge pain in my side right at the bottom of my right rib. Hurts when I sneeze, cough or laugh. Or get jiggled over the plethora of frost heaves…ugh.

I will be working on compiling some great stuff and getting my tushie back in gear. I’ve slacked off for too long and if I am going to get that second vehicle I’ve got to start working on ways to make up the car payment of $100-150 a month. Without depending on my hours increasing in spring.

Also look for my seed ideas. I’m doing a container garden this spring if it kills me. So I’ve been busy looking through the e-mails I get from Burpee, Johnny’s and other vendors for what I might want to grow. I also spent a lovely bit of time talking to the Burpee vendor for the Home Depot while he set up his displays. I can’t wait.

WP and Scheduled Post Issues

So I was trying to be all smart and write a bunch of posts when I had time and the muse, and schedule them with the new(er) feature WP has. Unfortunately its often glitchy and only one of them went through. Might have to save them as drafts instead until they figure this one out. The easy fixes I found didn’t work.
