In the market for woot!-inspiring premium WordPress themes? Head on over to WooThemes.com — they’ve redesigned their entire site (calling it WOO2) and are now offering a 4-for-1 special sale.
Ever since I discovered the Woo rockstars, I’ve made over all my blogs with premium WordPress themes from their fantastic collection. They have themes [...]

Foodnography.com

I bought this domain almost exactly a year ago (4 June 2008, to be exact), because my friend Markku jokingly threatened to hijack it after I’d told him about a word I thought I had coined: “foodnography”.

I’ve finally gotten around to implementing a blog function that I’ve long wanted to incorporate into my blogs: a greet box to personalize my readers’ experience. You can see this in popular blogs such as Weblog Tools Collection. The reason for needing this is, I’ve decided to consolidate all my online contact forms [...]

Custom WordPress author page
