I spent about half my hours searching for a theme, and the other half making things work to my liking. Although I know I needed to move off Blogger because of their recent commenting change, I did want to stay there because I could concentrate solely on writing. The WordPress move threw me off-track. But I'm excited to get settled into writing again. I've really missed it. Now what did you go and send me more themes to review for? You'll call me a liar, but I looked at over 3,000 themes (90% in thumbnail view, 8% in test view, and 2% I actually downloaded and tried out.) It was a crippling, miserable experience. I'm glad you like this theme. I'm sticking with it I think! That is, unless I check out that link you sent .... @ BigNerd — That’s what happened to me.

I migrated along time ago (and multiple blogs ago) to Wordpress. I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, broken, fixed and switched themes/plugins more than I can count.

There are two major issues going on. My Feedburner stuff is messed up, and I'm not getting notified of new comments. You don't want to know what I want to do the the Google folks right now. I blame this all on them. <em>Kathy's last blog post..<a href='http://junkdrawerblog.com/?p=117' rel="nofollow">Pardon My Appearance</a></em> @ Kev — Well, I’m not a happy member of WordPress yet.

Some themes have features that I want, but others I don't. It is a nightmare to choose. This is exactly what I didn't want to happen, spending the weeks before Christmas tweaking things. Pray for me. I'm not done yet. @ Windyridge -- You can't imagine how bad this went. I'll probably post about it soon. That is, if I ever settle this thing. I came across a theme called Exhausted and I almost picked it because it just fits for how I feel right now! <em>Kathy's last blog post..<a href='http://junkdrawerblog.com/?p=117' rel="nofollow">Pardon My Appearance</a></em> @ Mike — I’ve since changed my theme and it won’t be the last time, I’m sure.
