Theme design – upgrading – again
Just in case you’re visiting and don’t recognize (or even like) the new design of this blog – wait a few minutes. Or even a day or two. The theme I normally run on – Headway – was upgraded and my entire installation went fubar. It took an “intervention” from the developer to get it [...]
What I’ve Learned in 2009
