Learning to Customize

August 6, 2010

Little by little I’m learning how to customize my little ol’ blog here. Aside from the writing I’ve done, I’m getting some things done on the back-end. So far I’ve successfully: Changed my theme from Word Press Classic to Atahualpa (loving it, by the way). Installed some very helpful plug-ins. Changed a bunch of settings within my theme to make it look and function a little more to my liking. Completely re-did my categories. Learned to use FTP (what a headache!). :O Implemented some advertisement spots (not that I’ve made any money from them yet). Made a button to link to a website/forum that I love to pieces and spend FAR too much time on everyday. I also played around with Picnik to make a simple header. I kinda like the cartoon faces, it’ll do for now until I get a really good family photo to use instead. Go ahead and poke around for a bit. Let me know what you like or don’t like. Are there any features that I should start using? Any changes I should make? I’m open to constructive criticism.

We’ll see some of them at church and get together now and then for playdates and such, but I’m really going to miss the group setting. Lunch has long been accomplished, but now I need to get busy in the kitchen with more baking. Yay! On the list for this afternoon are: Apple pie Potato Cheese Casserole 2 Lemon Pies (no baking required, I cheated with store-bought crusts) 5 dozen more Monster Cookies Pork Roast (for dinner), and Crash Hot Potatoes Wow, think I can get all this done before bedtime? I certainly hope so. The casserole, lemon pies, and cookies are all going to a big ol’ dinner party tomorrow evening and all of my contributions to the pot...
