Gee… *MAYBE* I wasn’t receiving any Mint stats on my site recently because *I forgot to put the script in my new theme*. Super genius.

Sunday, 29 June, 2008 – 00:40

*sigh* I just looked at my new site design in IE for the first time. Am I more disturbed by the lack of spacing or that I might not care?

It’s Kind of Like a Change of Clothes, Only the Site Is Missing a Sock or Two

Wednesday, 25 June, 2008 – 00:56

The acute of vision will notice that I just switched over the blog to a brand new theme that I’ve been developing in my spare time over the past couple of weeks. I was going to wait a touch longer to get a few more things in there, but I’ve grown to like it so [...]
