update 120308
Have been tweaking the blog. Gone back (for the third time, or is it the fourth?) to the Cutline theme. This theme has always worked for me. It’s clean, simple, and I get a kick out of my random header images. I also cleaned up the sidebar a bit. Gone is the Digg news feed; instead it sits above the header image along with my other links (including a link to my shared items on Google Reader). Also, the Photos link no longer links to Flickr; I upgraded WordPress along with all plugins last Sunday (long overdue), and now my images are viewable once again on this site. You can still go to Flickr.com to see my photostream there as well.
Flickr plugin not working
Since upgrading to WP 2.3, I’ve had difficulties getting my albums to display on the “pics” page. If you came from Joe Tan’s site by clicking on the “Tenyjr.com” link, you already know my page doesn’t work properly. That is why the “pics” tab is no longer available. When I find the time, I will work on resolving this issue. In the meantime, there are plenty of working samples on Joe’s site and on the Flickr group.
white, clean, and neat
I’ve upgraded WordPress, and this will be the third time I’ve chosen to go back to the Cutline theme. Of all the themes I’ve used, this one is the easiest to manage and customize. And it’s easy on the eyes. I went with black not too long ago (for monitor-power-saving reasons), but I just wasn’t happy with it. For my return to Cutline, I trimmed the header images (and removed the text depicting the site name) and kept it random. I plan on creating a static home page; this will be the simplest way to get my Flickr photos displaying nicely on my site.
