October Header Graphic
Hey there! This month’s header pic was snapped just over a week ago in Turtle Lake, WI out on Skinaway Lake. Loved the early color of the trees on the other side and I thought it’d make a great shot.

September 2007 Header Graphic
Ah, beginning of a new month. Time to change the header graphic on my blog. Earlier today I uploaded a new picture for the header, taken from a photo at my cousin’s wedding reception. It was a great time, perfect weather and a fun location – the Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul, MN.

Ugh, it’s time for my twice annual custom theme itch…
Don’t know why, but I always seem to get the itch to either develop or buy a custom theme for my blog. I’m not sure why I get these notions, but I start seeming more blogs with the free theme I found and I want to differentiate myself I guess.
I’ll honestly admit that it [...]
Looking for Feedback
So I’ve gotten three notes mentioning that there are occasional issues when rendering some of my blog pages. If you follow a link here (specifically from Twitter), I’d like to know if the page looks funny, doesn’t finish loading, or any other odd behavior.
I don’t usually ask for assistance about my blog and such, but [...]
Busy Week
I’ve been really busy the last few days and haven’t gotten a change to post lately. Been reading a lot, and generating links to interesting stuff, but I’ve not had time to really do some good writing for the blog. I’m back at it today and should have a few good pieces this week. Talk [...]
July 2007 Header Update
As usual I’ve forgotten to get my blog header updated by the 1st of the month.
Well, its been updated now and I’ll try to get it updated for August on time.
June 2007 Header Image
So I finally remembered to change my header image here on the blog for June. This picture was taken on a lake in northern Minnesota, near Cross Lake, MN – a favorite getaway location for many years. I had thought that I created a reminder to prompt me, but I guess I messed it up. [...]
Custom Twitter Sidebar Widget
I’ve just created my first WordPress sidebar widget!
Thank you! thank you!
Seriously, I really just figured out how to create a wrapper for Alex King’s Twitter Tools WordPress Plugin, and one of Twitter’s JavaScript Badges. The plugin is built into my current theme; the net result is displayed on the sidebar, right below my “About” [...]
BLOG CONSTRUCTION ZONE
Watch for falling blog posts!
I’m trying out a different theme (again) and am having some issues with the sidebar. The them is MistyLook by Sadish Bala. Its a great WordPress 2.1 compatible theme that answers a lot of what I’ve been looking for.
But beware, I’ve disabled a number of plugins that I use regularly here [...]
Where is my custom WordPress theme?
I’ve been using some very nice (I think) themes from very creative developers in the WordPress community. They all have had some design component that I really like, maybe the full use of space on one, the clean uncluttered look of another, the graphics on a third, the font/type/CSS creativity of a fourth, and [...]
