Well, I am currently in the process of changing the blog’s theme, trying out a few experimental things. If it starts looking like something is way off-center or something is amiss, that would probably be me.

Thing is, however, that changing the default WordPress theme is (or was) quite a challenge. When I thought I had edited the settings for the header, I found out that none of my changes worked, even though the style sheet was loaded up from the site (not cached) each time. I would change a background color only to get the same color over and over. Then I scrolled down a bit more in the stylesheet, only to find a duplicate entry for the class that not only overrides my changes made in the earlier part of the stylesheet, it overrides its own self by default. It got me thinking, just how unoptimized is this technology that I’m working with? Well, hopefully it’s just the template (which I’ll be throwing away anyways and making my own), although I have heard other stories.

Also, this site (from this front page point on) is now “XHTML 1.0 Strict” Validated. Yes, I’m one of those standards people, not just because I like having the little button (although that is a plus) but also because as a programmer, I know why this validation is in place and it can only help save precious time later on in next-generation developments.
