Some Light Cleaning

Posted by John T in Maintenance.

Since I took on this blog I have been trying to teach myself some of the intracacies of operating a ‘hosted’ blog. I must confess, it is frustrating at times. But one thing I know how to do is clean up dead links and other simple items.

  • I dropped the truncated image that linked to a gum promotion, since the promotion has ended.
  • Deleted some dead links in the Blogroll and added some new friends (see **).
  • Rick added Los from Ragamuffin Soul as a FatBlogger, and even though Los has been extremely busy moving across the continent and hasn’t posted here, I added him to the FatBloggers roll.
  • Keep you eyes open for a new template… once I figure out how the heck to do that. One would think that there would be a ‘how to’ list somewhere. But alas, I haven’t found it yet.

Of course if you have suggestions… drop me a line.

    Hey John, I’ll send you the ftp info you need. Once you get the directory opened up, just unzip the themes file and put those files in the Wordpress–>wp-content–>themes folder. Just a minor detail I should have let you know when we transfered this thing over.

    I love the new theme, but the type that’s used for the poll is a bit hard to read (kind of blurry). Great job otherwise!

    Thanks for your input Michelle–As we put together a new theme, there’s always some tweaking to do to make sure everything fits together. I will be creating a new graphic bar for the polls, so that should be easier to read when I get that done.

    I didn’t notice this until I made a post, but the CSS you are using hides all the links in the posts, which makes it difficult for people to find where they can click through.

    I am looking for either (1) a new template that is good for that and other picky glitches. (2) an influx of knowledge on how to fix that for myself.

    Forgive the ‘dust’ while I straigten this and other issues out.
