Needing Some Help

July 20th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in uncategorized

I know I’ve been gone for a while, but an allergy/pollution-induced cold can stop almost everyone. I’m not here to dwell on my absence, but I do need some help. I’m looking for a new WordPress theme. I think I have exhausted my Pixkit theme to the extent that it no longer looks or works like it once did. I’ve screwed around with the code one too many times it’s become riddled with errors.

I’ve spent a couple hours digging through different websites trying to a theme that will fit my blog. There are so many terrible themes that it’s become a chore to find a worthy theme. I’m willing to buy a premium theme, but I’ve yet to find anything.

I am now asking for your help. I need some help finding a theme and with help by my readers I hope to make the process a tad bit easier. Here is what I’m looking for:

White background, black text

2-3 column theme

Customizable header/logo

Relatively minimal design

No large pictures in header or blog

No Magazine Layouts please

If you do have an idea for a WordPress theme (premium or free) please leave a link in the comments. If I do decide to use your recommended theme, you’ll receive a $10 Amazon Gift Card.

NO PIRATE BAY FOR YOU

July 9th, 2008 | 7 Comments | Posted in uncategorized

This is what I get when I try to go to ThePirateBay.org from my home. From the looks of it Qwest, my ISP, has decided to block access to the popular foreign torrent site. This block irks me as there was no warning that I would no longer be able to reach this site. It’s like someone telling me I can’t go into a store because I could steal something. This will be the first time I’ve had problems with Qwest, but it won’t surprise me to see more torrent services mysteriously stop working.

Thanks Qwest!

Have you found more ISP blocked sites? Leave them in the comments.

Update: I’ve gotten it to work. Looks like there was a problem with my browser. Pirate Bay’s up and running.

Update 1: It looks like Pirate Bay will only work during certain parts of the day. Qwest has to be invovle with this somehow.
