Clean WP install…

I recently had a problem with my blog and my themes wouldn’t show up (even after editing the database manually to try to use the default theme) and I’d get a 404 error page when trying to login to my admin panel. I tried a whole bunch of fixes: editing .htaccess (which obviously wasn’t the problem because I’m using the same one as previously and this blog is working fine again), deleting plugins from my plugins folder, editing wp-config.php to include some line about cookies (the fix worked for someone else, so I thought I’d try it too), and changing directory and file permissions. None of those fixed the problem for me, so I figured I’d just do an uninstall, but still keep my database and download my themes and plugins to reinstall them.

All is working well again, but now I’m currently on the default theme and don’t have my plugins yet. I wanted to change my theme anyway, so this is a good excuse to do it, but for now I’ll stick with the default twentyten theme while I find a new one.

Can’t believe Christmas is in a week! This month went by fast!

Not much else to say, so that’s all for now!

Time for a new theme…

I think it’s time for a new theme for my blog. I’ve been using this Options theme for the longest time now. I like the colors and everything, but it’s a pretty old theme and I don’t know if it’ll continue to be compatible with future versions of WP.

I could probably still achieve the same look using Atahualpa since that theme is completely customizable and I’ve experimented with converting a different Options child theme and for the most part it worked.

While I’m at it, I probably should create an actual header image. Kind of boring the way it is now.

But my personal blog is kind of on the backburner. I don’t post here much and don’t really do much with my site. Right now I’m focused on other things, so a theme change probably won’t happen here until after the holidays.

Happy Halloween 2010

Been a long time since my last post. I fail at blogging. :P

This post really doesn’t have anything to do with Halloween at all either, so fail x2.

What have I been up to lately? Well, TC10 ended… I didn’t really follow along with weeks 5-7 because I got bored with all of the iPhone/iPad app demonstrations in week 5, I think it was. But I did manage to meet my goal of making $1 within the actual challenge this year. I made it sometime in September from EPN, but haven’t made anything with my site since then. It’s not really a site that I want to keep on working on. I’ve been focusing more of my attention on my holiday site and somewhat trying to work on my 2009 30DC site.

I think it’s time for me to find someone to do my backlink building for me because that’s not really something I’d want to be spending my time on. Anybody have any suggestions for services I could use? And please, not that auto traffic avalanche stuff that gets filtered by Akismet on my blog. :P
