Revolutions

I think the second week back to work after a week long vacation was harder than the first week back. Of course, I’m still getting over whatever bug I had at New Year’s. It seems like I am now (mostly) over that.

Ever since I put the new theme up I had intended to write about my New Year’s “resolutions.” That’s a little ironic because one of my “resolutions” was to not procrastinate so much about writing. The thing is, some people seem to hope that by writing down all of their goals for the upcoming year that they will automatically turn into revolutions. Not quite. You aren’t going to change yourself overnight just because you wrote something down on a piece of paper or in your blog, though I think broadcasting your resolutions makes you a little more accountable. I also don’t quite get the big hoopla over wanting to just make resolutions at New Year’s. It isn’t magical or anything but hey, if it works, it works.

The key thing is to not consider your resolutions a failure the first, or second, or hundredth time you don’t follow it to them letter.

This may not be 100% finished yet but I’m calling it quits for now. One can only take so much of staring at code and cursing WordPress. Really, why do you have to install a plugin in order to use PHP inside the content of a page? I usually just create a template for a specific page when I want to do that but this time I didn’t want to bother.

Also regarding WordPress and PHP, I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does not like my contact form the way I have it set up. It was all going swimmingly until the information actually validated. After that I just kept getting a “Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.” I’ve been looking at that for hours and I’m still not sure what’s going on.

I also cannot figure out why the time isn’t displaying properly on my tweets. It works perfectly on my local copy but for some reason is 6 hours off on the actual site. I really don’t think that has anything to do with the fact that I was testing on WordPress 2.7 but who knows. Reason for that was so that I could find out if this theme would break when I upgrade. I’ll probably be saving that for tomorrow.
