Hello! I’ve decided to add some ad space and do a little bit here and there to make a little money off of this clunker. I’ve been up to all hours trying to find an appropriate theme, and testing them to no avail. Hopefully I’ll get it all sorted out today.
I’ll be sure to share any tips and tricks I learn along the way because I love you so much. In the meantime, please bask in the glory of the reposted pic of the Dik Dik sign we encountered in San Diego this summer. Huhhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh.

You are either very brave or procrastinating from your NaNo duties. I’ll say you’re brave and just giving yourself a little extra challenge this month. Hey, maybe it can be added to one of your characters’ story lines!
Anywho, I thought you might like to try this maintenance plug-in while you are working out the kinks. It’s over here ~> http://www.momdot.com/top10wordpresspluginsformomblogs/ <~ I thought you might like to see the full list; the maintenance plug-in is #3.
Good luck!

Thanks for the plugin idea Anne, but this is an ongoing process & don’t want to shut down the site for days. I thought it would be simple to pick and install a theme – a couple of hours & then I could move on. I didn’t want to wait a month. But it’s turned into a huge nightmare. Every theme I’ve tried has a major flaw, something doesn’t work right. I just plunked down some $ for Thesis out of desperation only to discover that my thumbnail images inexplicably don’t work and I have to do all this coding hoogamajooga to get ads in there.
It was not smart of me to start this now and I regret it. I’m so frustrated. I hope your writing is going well.

Well, good luck in your hunting for the perfect theme. This seems cool, although there are some weird words here and there. Hopefully they are all rated for any audience:) BTW, my Tên is DiTesco and Hòm Thu, you already know. What language is this? haha, looks familiar, hmmm, Vietnamese (ok, I cheated)

the widget over at Allied Bloggers is a good idea. Do you know of any plugins? Wow, You got the Thesis theme after all. Pity, If I had known, I could have given you my aff link with a discount:) Maybe next time, if you decided to create another blog.
Enough of that. Your site is now looking good. Clean and the comments form are now normal, LMAO

Well that sucks butt! I didn’t even think to ask around. I didn’t know about the referral program. Gah. Another opportunity down the drain.
I don’t know of any plugins, but I’ll keep an eye out! Thanks re: the “normal” comments. I wish there was a way to make WP comments look better without having to use Echo. I think it confuses people who aren’t that “net savvy” and they just say “forget it.”

Good luck to your quest Heather. Hope you’ll find one soon.

I love you too!!!
Can you believe my theme is actually called the Bible Scholar theme, with all the irreverance that goes on over at my place??
The “Thesis” theme is highly touted and beloved. But surely no where beloved as you are to my heart.
Cool on the ass, whoops– I meant ads but how could I not leave that for your reading enjoyment!?!

Hi Rose, no I’m going to give Chitika Premium Ads a go. I read a post about it by DiTesco at iBlogZone and thought hmmm… Apparently your regular readers can’t see them, but search engine traffic can. Will see how it goes!

Heather,
Have fun playing around finding the most suited Wordpress theme for you. I have had Thesis for about 6 months now (or later) and love it. It is simple and clean cut, and am never disastisfied with it. In process of upgrading to thesis 1.6 at the moment. Always the fun of working things out. Have fun and I am glad I have stopped by your blog.

Dear Heather,
Thanks for popping by my blog. To reply to your comment (i have a backlash of 5 days posts comments to respond to-and am doing it in order lol) I am still using Thesis. I just switched it to Vladimir Prelovac’s theme overnight, (it was one of my first theme used too) as I had an error with installation.
Thanks for stopping by.
Look forward to getting to know you as a blogging buddy too.

Tis a thing of beauty! Good job! I’m always afraid when doing upgrades. Sometimes sites just go *poof*. I’m glad your mini molten chocolate cake is still there.

Heather,

That mini molten chocolate cake is worth a treat.

Thanks for the tip! I used to come across them all the time when doing Google searches for computer help. I never thought to go there in search of advertisers. Noted. You’re just filled with good ideas, aren’t you?
