I’ve been working on the big moving job. ITF will be moving to the icedteaforever.com domain (right now it just forwards you over here), and me and my staff and interns will be utilizing WordPress for our ITF publishing needs instead of Blogger.
I think we have most of the gigantic technical issues overcome, but a few wrinkles remain. The most wrinkly wrinkle is finding a decent WordPress theme. I have scanned and scoured hundreds of dumb themes, I can’t believe I can’t find one I halfway like. What a mess, I’m sick of looking at them. Most of the themes are just garbage.
So, I don’t know what I’m going to do. I was figuring on having to customize it, but I’d at least like to find a theme that I don’t have to completely rework just to make bearable.
Who knows, I don’t know when we’ll get the move done, but I’m working on it. If you find a WP theme you think could be converted to an Iced Tea theme, let me know.

congrats to your staff and interns on such a gargantious undertaking. I’m sure now the weather in Indy will even be warmer. It must feel good for you to provide so many people the chance to work alongside yourself and Mrs. ITF. I remember a President who had an intern and that didn’t work out so well. Be careful as you continue looking for whatever it is you”re looking for. Bro Douglas

I can honestly say I pretty much have no idea what you’re talking about. :) Surely you want to hire me as one of your staffers. You could have a new theme: “E.I.B.: Excellence In Blogging” Or: “The Golden Keyboard”

It’s sad but I’m far too comfortable in Xanga to move. I know it doesn’t offer as much as Blogger or, I’m sure, WordPress, but I’m far from taking that step.

Like Merry I am just letting you know that I do stop in and read of your literary, musical, and culinary deepness.
I was wondering if the fellows at MD could help you out on that theme business, seems that a lot of work is in the offing to change the look at MD in the future; got a lot of html talent there. I am sure Hans and Co. might be available, or are you using them within your staff already? {:^)

I don’t know why I said that–I DON’T use Blogger, I use Word Press! And I really like it! :)
