Can you tell? I’ve been fighting between keeping this thing semi anonymous as far as throwing actual names out there but I’m realizing that it really doesn’t matter at this point. I’m just going to keep at it the way I have been, and if some things happen, then they happen and I’ll deal with them later.
I will say that I love the guys over at WooThemes for their brilliant templates. There’s a lot to mess around with on the backend, but it’s getting to a point that I like the way it’s starting to look, and it definitely is faster than me trying to open a code window and blow things up on a regular basis. Everyone is happy this way, I don’t make my husband cry and I don’t pull my hair out and kick the kid.
The weather here is crap, so off to make tea and poke around in here some more. If you see something that doesn’t look to be working, let me know. (don’t mention the featured vid thing…I know :b)
I decided I want to change things around here, it’s a slow process but it’s going to get underway this week. I’m shifting some stuff on the back end now, and relocating the galleries to flikr. I’ve got a few bits to get sorted out, but I found some brilliant templates so I don’t have to be that creative on my own.
I’ve been debating getting back into making them myself, it was something I did for quite a while back in the day, but the annoyance of trying to get all working the way I want was and still is a pain in the arse. I may have a go at it, I’m not sure just yet, but I do know that I’m going to drop the red and pick up something else in the next few days.
I’m copying this from the official WoW forums, because it’s too good to get lost in the shuffle. Credit to Koronis on the Zul’jin server for giving us this lovely bit of entertainment

Liked Winter Veil a lot…
But the Lich King,
who lived in Northrend,
Did NOT!
The Lich King hated Winter Veil! The whole Winter Veil season!
Now, please don’t ask why. Only lore geeks know the reason.
It could be that Frostmourne had corrupted him outright.
It could be, perhaps, that he suffers from frostbite.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that Jaina broke his heart in Westfall. More: Read the rest of this entry…
So today is the Official Talk Like a Pirate day, and I log in to WoW and see that Blizzard is jumping on the bandwagon as well. There’s a pirate captain in Booty Bay that will make you an honorary crew member for 12 hours. She’s hanging out near the horde flight master above the inn.
While this is cool, it only adds to my opinion that Pirates are way cooler than ninjas…especially Airship Pirates… More: Read the rest of this entry…
Anyone who watches the SciFi channel has been accosted hourly with the commercials for their new “made for SciFi” film, Rock Monster. Last night the kid, in a fit of giggling boredom came up with an entire verse to the B52 classic tune. If this weren’t proof enough that we’re a family of geeks, he was later playing with a rubic’s cube and asked me to pick a color. I replied, “purple.” This received the expected eye roll combined with the obligitory noob comment and so I gave in and said I’d pick one. “FFFFFF.” He just sat there a second and then started on the white side, while the conversation degraded into hex and rgb codes and giggles.
During the time this was going on, we were watching several episodes of the Scariest Places on Earth. Later in the night something smacked the back door, enough to make the dogs bark a bit. I got the additional freak out of seeing a figure coming into our room, granted it was only a second before I heard, “Mom?”
He had come downstairs after we went to bed because the couch is so much safer than his room. The noise really spooked him, and that in turn got me out of bed to take a look. The dogs had settled down quickly, so I figured there was nothing to it, but by that point we were all awake and the dogs wanted outside. The kid ended up with me in the bed, the husband took the couch and the dogs took turns sleeping in both places. Needless to say, no one got any sleep last night, but I did get a post out of it
