Find: Two free crafty wordpress themes

I’ve been doing a little looking around at free wordpress themes today, partly out of curiousity, but mainly because it’s like window shopping without the tiring exercise.

And for me, any exercise is tiring. Believe me.

I love these two crafty themes, but since I won’t be using either of them anytime soon, I wanted to share them with my friends here in case they’re just what you’ve been looking for.

And if you need any help customising them to your site, give me a yell.

Back End Stuff Gets Down & Dirty

Okay, for those people who found their way here via some strange google search, this is a family blog.

But I don’t want to disappoint you, so here’s something for your trouble…

For all you usual suspects, I’m actually talking about working on the back end of my blog.

The nitty gritty. The coderoo.

Plugins, php & whatnot.

See, WonderHubby found the Wordpress Plugins Directory on Sunday afternoon and sent me a huge email of goodies that we can use to customise our beloved blogs. From 5 metres away.

I’ve been there before, looking for a sitemap doohickey to let me index Kidzarama on google. It looked pretty crowded, with all kinds of wotchermacallits.

Now I know it is.

I have a two page email here, made up entirely of links that have WonderHubby salivating and drooling all over his laptop.

I’m the resident blogging ‘tech~head’ here you see, since I’ve been blogging for all of five months now. So I get the list.

Does that explain what I’ve been doing tonight?

Yes, I’ve been playing with my back end. And fursing profusely.

What’s a Girl To Do?

Last night was just the worst night for blogging.
I’ve been putting off upgrading Wordpress to the next version for a few weeks, but put it down to being too focused on writing for my blog.

Turns out that it may have been a premonition.

Tonight I decided to bite the bullet and just do it, as Nike say. I backed up the appropriate files, made a copy of the theme I’m using and followed all the instructions ~ or so I thought.

CommentLuv

Regular readers ~ all 2 of them, and that’s counting me ~ will notice that I added CommentLuv to my blog yesterday. This is a Wordpress plugin that will allow commenters to add a link to their latest blog post at the bottom of their comments here.

It means that from now on, each time someone comments on a post here, they will be getting an inbound link to their own blog!

So make a comment and share the luv….
