While the current theme to this site has served me well, it is growing dated. A few features the new Wordpress has to offer cannot work with the current theme, so I am forced to look elsewhere. There are some premade themes that catch my eye, but I haven’t decided on one yet.

Having a custom theme is nice, but figuring out how to do it on my own or finding someone to make me one is proving somewhat taxing. So I might go with a premade…maybe customize it a bit. I haven’t fully decided yet.

10 years ago today, Steve Jobs introduced the world to the iMac. The computing world was never the same again and it saved Apple. Happy Birthday iMac!

I also upgraded the Wordpress install to 2.6.1. As always let me know if you experience any issues.

I have implemented the comment system Disqus. This is on a trial bases, so it might not stay. Let me know if you experience any issues.

“After your 60-day free trial, you will be charged an annual subscription fee of $99.00 (plus applicable
tax). To avoid these charges, you may cancel your membership at any time during the trial period by going
to Account Options section of me.com.”

In my mind, this is unacceptable. Apple should assume you don’t want to continue using MobileMe and have you manually upgrade to the paid service. I wonder how many people have been charged the $99 fee without even realizing the 60 days was up…

If you take a look at the navigation, you will notice a Test Image Gallery. I am starting to test out the features of the image management system built into Wordpress. I currently use the default install with Lightbox used for displaying the full size images.

I am also still working on moving the Old forum information over to the New Forums. That will be a slow process…but it will be done eventually.

I will also starting writing more of my book and actually get content posted on its website, ShadesOfNight.net
