About my blog, or others.

New Blog Theme!

Just finished installing the new theme I designed for my blog! I think it turned out pretty neat. I like it more than any previous one I have done to date!

In other news, I am currently a cashier at the Petro Iron Skillet. Mah dogs are killin me! But hey, a job is a job they say. And I got one. Now to search for one in my field!

OwlBoy.com- Now More Valid

Just spent some time fixing errors causing my site to not be Valid XHTML. I found lots of tiny things all over, and was able to go from 145+ errors down to about 5. Those last 5 I just can’t quite get. This is not to say that is true for my whole site. I did the work with the front page of the blog.

Why did the dudes in charge of XHTML not include a simple alternative to the center tag?

First From Scratch Theme for My Blog

Here is my first stab at making a theme for my blog that is not a modification of another one. I have made 2 themes previous, one for the Warrior World site and then one recently for Vicomm.org. So I thought it was about time I should make one fore my own site. I have been wanting one for quite some time. Though never sat down to do it.

Now I have, and I think it turned out ok. Nothing too amazing, but it has the footer style I have been wanting for a while, along with other simplifications.

Please let me know what you think, or if you find any bugs. Is the textured background a bit much for the content area? I am thinking about removing it.

AH HA!

I figured out why my site was loading so slowly. I got rid of a plugin I was using for tags, and now it loads so much faster. I also updated the theme, no more overly tiny text.

yay.

My Blog is One (1) Year Old


Well, I missed posting on the real date, mainly because in my head all this time I kept thinking may was the anniversary. Then when May came, I forgot to remember. Now that I have remembered, and looked it up, it appears owlboy.com/blog was started on April 2, 2005. Happy Birthday blog. I never considered it would last this long, and I hope to keep it going even longer.

Remember! I like comments, post any you got on any entry! 🙂
