Site Update With Gusto

I Have a New Theme!

As many of the regular readers have noticed, I’ve installed a new theme. The theme is called Revolution Tech, and I actually paid money for it so I hope people like it. The feedback I’ve gotten so far has been positive. I’ll be tweaking it a little as time goes by, in hopes of getting it the way I want it. I know that some of you will miss the purple and red that dominated my last theme, but I know just as many of you are breathing a sigh or relief. I can’t please everyone, but I am doing what I can.

I’m Consolidating!

As some of you know, I have been been using a separate domain for my job postings. Now that I have a theme that can handle it, I am moving the job posts back to the main site. Those of you who are subscribed to the job feed should continue to get it without interruption. I am also expanding the site to include some of my creative work (poetry and short stories), which is something I had been maintaining on a separate site. Because I recognize that some people may not want all of these items in their feeds, I am creating several news feeds so that people can subscribe to what they want.

I’m Comment Friendly!

As part of my blog renovation, I have added a couple of new plugins. The first, CommentLuv, will link to your latest post (if you are a blogger and supply your URL). The second gets rid of the “nofollow” tag. I have always found nofollow (which tells the search engines not pay any attention to your link) to be kind of petty. The only reason I hadn’t removed it before was pure laziness. Finally, I added a top comment widget so that the people who comment frequently can bask in my love.

I’m Giving Away Money!

In case you didn’t catch this post, I wanted to let my blogging friends know that I am looking for guest bloggers for June and I’m even offering a $250 prize just to make it interesting.
