Website Changes

As return visitors (both of you) will notice, there’s been some changes at the BWOTAE. For starters, it all looks different. I switched WordPress themes and you can check out information about this one using the link in the footer. I’m not bothering to write about the theme here because, well, you probably don’t care. And, it may just be different in a week.

The one thing I will mention about the theme is it’s highly customizable and extensible while still providing an easy upgrade track. So don’t be surprised if things keep right on changing.

This website, in a addition to being my personal blog, is also a bit of a laboratory where I can try different things out without affecting my main site. Recently added to the lab were:

PollDaddy polls – the first poll question is in the right sidebar and runs through the election.

Disqus commenting – Disqus (pronounced “Discuss”) is a hosted web commenting system. Once benefit is once you get a Disqus account you (and others) can track all your comments. While comments can be imported & exported with my website the comments will remain even after this site goes away. A Disqus account isn’t required to comment here.

Lest you think this wasn’t a big waste of time – I started the day expecting to change this website’s theme to one I’ve already used and liked. Instead I got looking around and 8 hours later I have this theme and rough plans to use it as the framework for my other sites.

Feel free to put your 2 cents in the comments or e-mail me at the address on the About page.
