After months of tinkering with the Thesis framework, I decided that I wasn’t happy with it. Not that Thesis is a poor framework. Far from it. The problem is, I just haven’t mastered the fine art of coding and decided that I don’t really want to. I’d rather write actual words and create eye-catching designs [...] Read more »
Midway Review of Thesis for WordPress, Part One

Saying Goodbye to Free WordPress Themes
I’m in the process of changing this blog’s design, hopefully for the very last time. If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, then you’ll know how many themes I’ve gone through.

Yesterday was a whirlwind of activity. I spent all morning developing and designing a single-page website for Prosperity with the Freeway program I mentioned in a prior post.
