New design…

Thinking that the previous design was out of date I decided to do a quick scan on what WordPress themes were available. After trialling many and being frustrated with nearly all of them I have finally settled on this one. God only knows how long it will last as I am still looking due to the fact I am not 100% happy with it.

Hmm, Twitter updates

I use the excellent Twitter Tools in order to get my Tweets from Twitter. One of the options is to post a new blog post with my daily tweets.

At first I thought this was a great idea but today when I look at my blog I now think it looks horrible. So as of now I have disabled this feature, though might reintroduce it – 😉 who knows!

WordPress Themes

I have been searching for quite some time for a theme for this site, there are just so many themes out there, some crap some absolutely great and it’s been really difficult finding one. Seriously, you would think that this was EASY but I have found it incredibly difficult.

I had decided to use Magaling, but I had problems with the footer in that it would simply not show. So I decoded the footer, removed links to the sites I did not want on my blog though left the creator link in.

This then worked perfectly. However, as part of the license you cannot remove the links at the bottom

You are FREE to use the theme whether in original or modified form provided that the footer links at the bottom area are intact on every page.

I do appreciate that creating themes is incredibly time consuming and when released free they should get something in return. However, I just don’t think I can  agree with the type of links, (Dating Sites) at the current time.

So the search continues…… expect changes from time to time until I do manage to find one that looks great but does not have sponsored links in, or even includes an option to remove the links at a small cost.

Currently evaluating : 

Atahualpa
(Not so) Fresh
Freicurv2.0
LiteThoughts
faleonis
Gear
Pixeled Just did not look right.
iBlog
CURRENT THEME : iNove

So, yes, I have a web site

That’s right, I have decided to get myself a personal web site. I used to have one a long time ago but got too busy to even bother with one. Here I will probably just ramble on about various Football or Apple related stuff or use it for more information when I am posting to Twitter 😉

This is just a quick post as I have to go grab my Tea but I hope to post on here as often as I can!
