I’ve been getting emails about the weird things going on with my blog. Keep ‘em up, please – they all help as I re-design this thang.
As you can see (on the actual site, if you RSS), I’ve moved forward with the new theme I wrote about a couple weeks back. It’s called THESIS by DIYthemes, and so far I like it.
I’m getting help from this guy and even this guy, but my objective is to learn all about the code and get to a point where I’m writing it myself. So far, so good.
Next I plan to:
• change fonts to a san-serif
• add a background image border
• move the header and include a new design
• add social networking links, a portfolio page and fresh blogroll
• upgrade to the latest WordPress version
WEEK IN CHICAGO
Last Tuesday night I arrived in Chicago for a working session with new clients, a visit with family and friends, a Stalelife-sponsored White Sox event and games versus the Cubs.
I posted a bunch of new images on Flickr. They tell a quick story, but here are some impressions:
• The Garcia’s baby girl Cecilie is as cute as reported. Strong, too.
• Sadly, I missed seeing two other new friends, Rylan Soble, Matt and Amy’s boy, and Wil Salihar of the Warren and Lisa Salihars. Next time…
• You forget how much advertising there is on the streets of Chicago until you get back
• Great weather - I even wore a jacket one day.
• The Sox can beat NL teams, apparently just the last-place ones.
• Cubs fans are even more obnoxious after a twelve pack. Ugh - worst fans in baseball.
• Working with my partner Kurt is much easier in person.
• I missed my family every day, and that feeling got stronger the closer I got to home.
There’s more images at my Flickr account. Even ones with people nowhere near as uggo as that Cubs fan above.
