Facelift II
Another big change to the look of the blog in less than four days? What is up with that? No, I am not a woman. I really did have my mind made up on that last one and was pleased with the over all look and feel of it, except that one small green smudge, which I was willing to live with until I got around to altering it.
However, I realized that it wasn’t that everyone had abandoned reading my blog or that it was too nice a weekend to be in front of a computer (after all it was HOT here and A/C or a fan felt good with a cold drink). It was indeed the theme that was causing a problem with the WordPress statistics tool. Despite whatever hits may have occurred to the blog – the WordPress statistics tool was reporting zero. After going on four days I got suspicious and checked the actual web flow and while it could have all been me, I don’t think so – as I was outside working and playing most of the weekend.
So, I did a little test this morning, not logged in, and sure enough nothing on the stats increased – still a big zero. So, I changed back to an old theme – granted it was messed up due to being two columns – but sure enough I got a hit on the stats as soon as I went to the page not logged in.
Rather then trying to figure out the problem or waiting on the designer (French I believe) to fix something they may not care about, I search out some other themes. Fully tested the stats on this one and believe it looks pretty good. Also the black darkened wood reminds me of the tobacco, hay, and livestock barns of central Kentucky where I spent so much of my younger years. I have another in the wings just in case, but I think this one is going to stick around for a while unless it develops some issue or another then I have not though through to this point.
Now that I have that little worry out-of-the-way, it is back to blogging… Coming soon a rant about the tomato scare and local food, another about fuel prices, truckers, and going green, and maybe something about the death bell tolling for internet auctions.
PS: I also decided that I am too on the fence about the MORE tag. So I have for the time being removed those and instead limited the front page to showing 5 blogs to combat scrolling forever. This is one that I am being a bit non-committal toward and may change back to again later.
