… And Whiskers on Kittens
I want to give a shout-out to some awesome people that have been really supportive and who I am so glad that I’ve met.
These are all people that I only know virtually - I haven’t met a single one of them in real life. Maybe someday I will.
I can’t possibly include everyone so for now I’ve listed 10.
6 WordPress Themes for Independence Day - 4th of July
Saturday is Independence Day here in the United States. People have cookouts and watch fireworks. It’s a big deal here in Philly and is usually a 7-10 day celebration called Welcome America.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not a big fan of most holidays. But I thought I would do a search and see what kind of Independence Day and patriotic themes were available. Here are 6 of the best ones that I located.

Another month has coming to a close. It seems that time just keeps going by faster and faster. Summer has finally set in here and I am trying to keep cool without air conditioning. Once it hits the high 90’s with 90% humidity, I may have to turn it on. But for now I’m trying to conserve money and energy.
WordPress 2.8 Theme Editor Review
One of the new features in WordPress 2.8 is the Syntax Highlighting in the theme and plugin editor. This was one of the features that I was eager to use as it would be more like the way I currently work. The syntax highlighter color codes the components of the code and numbers lines. It also includes a tag/code documentation lookup.
But I have to admit that I am a little disappointed. I’m not quite sure what I expected but I don’t like using it as much as I thought I would. After testing is for a couple of days I’m going to continue to pretty much work in my text editor, Notepad++.
Here are some of the reasons why I’m not all that excited about the new theme and plugin editor.
And The Winner of the WordPress 2.8 Release Contest Is …
I had double the number of entries than I did last December when I ran a similar contest for the release of WordPress 2.7. It could be that more people want assistance, more people are using WordPress or that more people know about and trust me. Maybe it’s my ego talking but I think it’s that more people know about me.
The winner will be notified by email as will as entrants with information about their 10% discount. But I am please to announce that the winner is …
What is a Browser?
Some of you may know that I used to work in tech support. I actually really liked the work but had numerous issues with management.
Before I had a face to face interview I had a phone interview. I was asked questions like, “what web browser do you use?” and “what is a firewall?”. I thought it was odd but must have been their first level screening process.

Happy Father’s Day! None of the links have anything to do with Fathers but I thought I would give it a mention :-) I’ve got some WordPress, some twitter, and some fun videos.
gReactions: A Firefox Add-on to show Comments and Tweets in Google Reader
7/1/09 - Please note that this add-on is not yet compatible with Firefox 3.5, which was released yesterday.
Sometimes people complain that comments aren’t included in their feed reader. I’ve often wondered how hard it is to click from the feed reader to the actual article, but maybe those extra clicks use up a lot of time. I know that if an article in my feed reader really interests me, I WANT to visit the site to read it.
There is a solution to this, however, if you use Firefox and Google Reader. There is a great Firefox add-on that will add comments and tweets to the posts in Google Reader.
