I Think I Am A Wordpressaholic

- Image via Wikipedia
Hope you had a nice weekend.
You may have noticed, I have changed my theme yet again, I also spent about $200 in paid plugins over the weekend.
This is seriously damaging my profits, but I can’t seem to stay away
I just saw the confessions of a shopaholic film and I can kind of relate to her, only mine is online stuff whereas hers is designer clothes. I am usually really good about things and I always ask … Do I Really Need It? I normally answer no and do not buy it, BUT when it comes to wordpress related stuff I tend to say, well yes, I do
I think I need to see someone, anyone know a WPAA group (Wordpressaholics Anonymous)?
This logo is actually for a radio station broadcasting from the campus of Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, but it is exactly what I was looking for.
Are you addicted o something? Let me know by posting a comment below.
Wordpress Theme Stress
If you have been with me for a while you will know that I am a bit of a Wordpress Junkie, especially when it comes to themes and plugins. I especially like to make my own themes, but it is time consuming and there are now great tools out there that can do it all for you in a few clicks.
I have been trying to finish three themes for the past few months, but there is always something more pressing. So I tested out all the ‘theme making’ software and my favourite is Artisteer. They are having a special on the pro version and at $99 if you like that sort of thing, it is the best I have found so far. It also makes html templates and they promise Joomla is coming soon. I really wish they had an affiliate program, but they have been saying for six months that it is coming, so I have stopped holding my breath
While I am trying to find time to play around with my new toy I decided to opt for the Flexibility Theme as the current one is boring me. The flexibility theme is simple and elegant and business like and classy and flexible, which all sound good to me. You can see it in action here and because I like to change things often, now I can all through my admin panel.
What is your favourite theme and why?
Wordpress 2.7 Is Unveiled In All It’s Glory

I had read a few worrying reports about upgrading to wordpress 2.7 so was a little skeptical about how it would go, but I have to tell you I have now upgraded 20 or so blogs and not had one single issue. I upgraded in the normal way, deleted the files as per the wordpress.org site, uploaded all the new files and clicked to upgrade the database. All my plugins are working and all my themes look beautiful.
Bye bye old dashboard. I included a photo just for old times sake
A wealth of knowledge has been shared about the beauty and speed of the NEW admin panel, but nothing prepares you for what is nothing short of a piece of art. There is at least one redundant plugin that I know of, which is the one that made the admin menu’s have a dropdown style. No longer needed I’m afraid. Bad news for them, but god for us bloggers, the less plugins the better.
I have included some links below that I think you will find interesting, in the mentime I am designing some new themes, long overdue, and will of course ensure they are wordpress 2.7 compatible.
Speaking of themes, I wrote a while ago about wordpress 2.7 having a new theme included, but it is not in my download. I like the theme a lot, so go take a look, if you like it you can download it and use it yourself. I must have been confused about it, I was sure that was what it meant, but maybe it has been included over at wordpress.com.
Have you upgraded yet? How did it go? Let me know by posting a comment.
