Themed Again – Premium Blondish

Well, I still am going to do a theme with a vexeled guitar, but on spur of the moment, I decided to do a bottle. I like the general setup of my theme so I kept it and altered the graphics from the Mustang layout. I did want to mention that although I love beer, I did not want to portray that the vexeled bottle was filled with it. Instead, I used a peppy plethora of gradient layers in pink. I am thrilled with it.

For those who enjoyed the Mustang theme, I will be doing some modifications to it, but it is still available. I have added a Theme dropdown near the footer of the page. :smile:

I still keep getting asked if I design custom layouts. Yes, I do. They are a fairly good deal.

Also, as a mention, Host Solutions has a new design as well. Some of the content still needs to be added from the old, but over 90% of the site is completed.

As a last thing, I want to plug three things:

1. Shameless Plug – You can plug your site for free here. Yes, it is still open and has been since December 2004.

2. Twitter – If you have not joined this social venue, you really should. It is a good place to network, find friends, even make money, and much more. If you have or will be, come on over to my account and follow me! :grin:

3. Big thank you to Computer Tech Blog for writing about my script PHPads. Computer Tech Blog has many subjects that encompass hardware, softwares, computer tips. I have always been an advocate of places that are really helpful for webmasters and for general internet users.

New Graphic Section – Background Tiles

I have been planning to put this section up for Background Tiles, but I have been shoving it off to the site. I finally got it done. I actually introduced it to the Tweeps at Twitter as it is nice to have something to decorate your page there. One of the backgrounds offered can be see on my Twitter page. Currently there are ten, and I am pretty sure that in the future, there will only be 10 on a page as the previews are 200×150 pixels.

Each preview has a desciption and title. All of the backgrounds are in PNG format to retain quality and have been zipped up. I am trying to monitor how many times some of my items on my site, especially graphics. I am also trying to crack down on possible hotlinkers.

As a final note, the background tiles can be used for layout backgrounds. No credit is needed, but it is appreciated. However, no claiming these as your own.

Enjoy!

500 Internal Server Error?

Not sure if anyone has come by the site and has seen the 500 Internal Server Error. It was the WordPress, but I am not sure if it is the 2.7 installation or one of the plug-ins. I installed the NextGen Gallery so I could put my pics of my son, myself, and my stock photos. I think I have pinpointed the issue to this particular plugin, but I cannot be certain as of yet. I have been tackling this issue the past few days. It sucked getting online to find out this issue. I may have to go back to the technicians at HostGator to try to tweak my server if this is the case.

Rev.iew.me, a website review community

Rev.iew.me screenshot I have been hearing about a site called Rev.iew.me, that is another review community, so I went to check it out. I ended up joining and have already posted 2 reviews. I will be posting my reviews here that I have done from there, and moving my old reviews here that I had done at Cinnamon Gum (no longer a site, hence why I did not hyperlink it.)

The site is owned by Jem who knows her stuff when it comes to coding and offers quite a few free and popular scripts.

In light of this, I have been going through the pages and weeding out content. I got rid of most celebrity images and my ringtones that I made. It is illegal, and I have not had the time to pull it down until now. If you want any, I can put a list and you can email me, but I will not offer them on the site for download anymore.

As for reviews, if you wish for a review outside of the site, free free to use my contact form or leave me a comment.
