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 to try an d find the issue with the sidebar dropping to the bottom of the posts.  I’ll get it eventually – there are some great threads on the theme’s site – so we’ll figure it out!

Any comments on the updated theme?  The Water 3 theme by the undersigned I was using previously was very crisp, but was not as clean and though-out as I had hoped when I first saw it.  The text was too small, and some components like list bullets didn’t line up properly.  I just want a simple, clean theme with lots of white space that doesn’t get cluttered up easily.

Another note, I’m going to trim out a lot of the plugins that I think have been slowing down the site.  Including advertising.  I’m going to pick one, maybe two subtle ads and the rest go bye-bye.  Your feedback is always welcome!

Winter in Minnesota – Snowday!

Mar 1, 2007 | blog

A quick ride for the kids Well, finally in March we get one of our substantial snow storms! One storm last week dumped anywhere from 8″ on the low side to a whopping 30″ in one town in the southwest part of the state! We got around 10″ here at home.

Today and tomorrow, we’re supposed to get another potential 12″, so I had planned to work from home today. Not a bad deal – I can usually get more done here than in the office because of not being interrupted all the time.

So yes, we’re finally getting the snow we should have started the winter with back in November. Oh well, I’ll still not get a chance to get the sled out, but its just nice to see it look like winter around here rather than a brown, patchy white mess.
