You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Andi, I'd be happy to read your doc.

Again, I look to 8 years ago, and how I would have felt if anti-Obama electeds had, en masse, boycotted. I would not have approved!

Anti-Obama electeds DID boycot his inaugurations. Someone linked to that article on fb earlier today.

My 'let's go along to get along' is all worn out. I'm happy to see who boycotts in the vein of 'okay then', we see you.

While I totally, and completely get the issue of 'respect for the office' over respect for the man, I believe we are in a singular situation now where the habits and protocols of the past could actually prove dangerous.

I sympathize with his general air of "No, this is fine, everything's fine, clearly I am succeeding and doing exactly what I meant to do."

"This is a TOTALLY comfortable position, I assure you."

Damn, Maru. You are a beacon of awesome in an otherwise shitstorm of a world.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thanks, beekaytee. Insent.

The only thing better than a Maru video, is a Maru & Hana video.

I was going to clean my basement today. That is...not happening.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Well, now I'm torn on what to watch instead of the inauguration: a rerun of Pres. Obama's second inauguration, or Flash Gordon, which is on another channel. Dang.

Do we have any wordpress gurus in the house?

I need to change my seven year old [myname].com template.

I love the current site, but I need so many changes I just don't think the old template can accommodate.

I found this one that I quite like.

Do you, or do you know someone who can, work with this kind of thing?

All I need is 1) an assessment of whether or not the theme is good and stable code, 2) a tutorial on how to back up the current site for safety and 3) the background set-up the new template.

I can do the migration of text with my minimal html skills, assuming the template permits that. I really want to be able to control future changes, including the graphics in the slider, etc.

My long-term web guy is nice, and quite reasonable, but not super responsive since I'm not a 'big fish.'

The 'reasonable' part is key too. My income has dipped precipitously and the image refresh is part of taking advantage of a GOOD thing coming up in a couple of weeks. I can, and will, pay what is needed but it will be a stretch.

All suggestions gratefully received!

If you are not available, or interested, do you have any trusted referrals I could explore?
