So, here we go.
I finally got around to doing some work on this site. This new theme is based on the “Green Love” theme by Bob. As you can probably tell, not much has changed, beyond the new top graphic and an infinitely tackier color scheme.
I won’t say this is an endpoint, but I’m pretty happy with the way the site looks now. Give me a month or so before I start fiddling again. 
I used this as a chance to test out some new software I just purchased. Through the magic of MacHeist I got a copy of both CSSEdit and Pixelmator. Both seem pretty good, although Pixelmator has crashed on me a couple of times.
Enjoy!

Okay, no one breath on the site funny. It appears that everything is functioning correctly for the moment. It appears that I had a few unclosed tags in my post code, and that caused the shambles you could see on the site a few minutes ago.
Don’t worry, I still plan on redoing the site design, but now it isn’t an emergency.

So, I went ahead and upgraded my Wordpress installation. As you can probably tell by the drab tones, and the distinct lack of the candy-coated skull, I b0rked my theme and ran back to the ol’ classic style.I guess it was about time to do a redesign.� I would have preferred to set my own timeline for the redesign, however.

I decided to remove the Google AdSense bar component from the top of the page.
I have a few reasons for doing this, but the biggest one is simple: the ads added no value to the site. I never expected to actually make money from them, but there is no way I would with those ‘targeted’ ads. I rarely saw any ad that was truly relevant. For the past few days, anytime I was on the site, I saw ones for aromatic oils. I’m not sure what sorta Google Juice I was cooking, but it certainly wasn’t anything like what I would expect. I know this site is typically content-light, but I would expect it to do better than that.
I am not against advertising, but I really want them to be something useful or interesting.

As I’ve said a few times, the purpose of this blog is really to learn more about web development and cool new technologies.
Given that, I decided to put some Google ads on the site. While I may have dreams of one day retiring rich from my job as the next Rupert Murdoch media mogul. I hold no illusions of grandeur attached to this site. This is just a test.
