Depending on time of the day and number of comments, using WordPress gravatars can cause a significant slow-down in your blog load time. Last week, I noticed a significant slow-down in one of my blogs. Pages were taking about 8-10 seconds to load, when previously they would load almost instantaneously. There are several ways to…..

Thanksgiving is a harvest celebration. Traditionally, it was a time to give thanks for the bounty given to us by Mother Earth. In more modern times, it is a celebration of thanks and gratitude for all the blessings in our life. Here is an appropriate saying from Kung Fu Panda – Quit, don’t quit? Noodles,…..

Since this is a technology oriented blog, I thought it was about time I created a Technology WordPress theme. This first technology theme features an exquisitely modeled body armor with blue highlights. “What kind of body armor is that?!“, you may think. “It doesn’t protect anything!”. Ahhh … it is invisible body armor of course……
What?! Another theme release already? Usually I would wait – but this one is a compatibility release. After much hair pulling, kicking, and banging my head against the monitor, … the Shiba WordPress Theme is now tested and compatible with IE-6, IE-7, IE-8, and FireFox. There could still be layout weirdness here and there, so…..
