GASP!! “What is THIS?!?” You say – 0137hrs

Well, as pretty much all of you avid readers know me so well, you know that even a “vacation” tends to be SOME kind of work.  Well, I had become two versions behind current on this Word Press blogging software, so being home with a high-speed connection…not to mention a slight jonesing for some tech, I upgraded the back-end and “guts” of this blog.

Everything went fine and you never even knew I did anything… but… me being the geek I am, I can never leave well enough alone right?  Yeah… I had to find / create a new skin (look / feel) for the site to go with the back-end upgrades.

So… whatcha-tink?  Couple of things to note;  first of all, I’ve limited the posts displayed on the main page to only 5, that should improve page load times for you.  Secondly, you’ll notice in future blog posts that the images are a tad smaller… this is for two reasons;  first and foremost, again, page load times, and secondly, to fit better in this new “theme”.

Let me know what you think… now that I’m home, I’ve got some “tinkering” time to make changes.

PS  I know many of you aren’t so thrilled about the new photo storage site… well unless one (or more!) of you want to fess up some $$ for paid photo hosting on Flikr (I’ve hit thier max viewing limit for a free account), then we’ll have to survive on the new photo gallery.  If you have any constructive criticism for improving something, let me know about that too!
