What madness drives a person to create a WordPress Adsense Theme? To create a new one totally from scratch for public release is an undertaking not for the faint hearted or the time poor. I guess thats why out of the multi-millions of WP users there are only (at the time of writing) 900 free GPL themes on the directory. That may sound like a lot, but when you go looking for ‘just the right blog theme’ you soon find that there isn’t quite the amount of choice that you imagined.
Yes, in most cases themes need to be prodded, poked and modded into something that resembles the thing you were imagining in the first place.
Enough already with the prodding…find out more…
Like a cat our the proverbial Harry Houdini bag, HeatMap Ads Theme 2.1 was released onto the WP Theme directory. At the time of writing around 340 WP’ers have downloaded it, and from my referrer stats I can see lots of you have actually installed it, and some of you are even giving it a bit of a makeover with your own logos. Looking good people!

Its a stressful world. Busy busy busy. Even when I’m working from Home there is still a ton of stress inducing things that need to be unwound from. Sometimes you’ve just gotta take time out.
I went fishing. It’s an old cliche I know. An oldie but a goodie, a time honoured recipe for relaxation, or so they say.
I’m actually not very good at fishing…
In fact if I actually caught a fish it would probably be a minor inconvenience that would get in the way of the Zen of fishing. If a fish were to be wriggling on the end of my hook then that would be more stress.
Then there’s the whole unhooking and killing of the poor thing. Not relaxing. Not to mention the ‘getting snagged’ in the rocks thing.
Will I ever get unsnagged and learn to relax? Find out…
Its cold here today. Last night the temperature went down to 8 degrees Celsius. We had to put the air conditioning on to heat the house up. The temperature will probably only rise to 21 degrees Celsius during the day.
You see I live in Queensland Australia and winter here is, well, not very cold. I annoy my shivering Australian friends by telling them “Hey, you think this is cold? Back in England people would be sunbathing in this. People would be queuing for hours on the motorway to get to a beach to get a sun tan if the weather was like this!”
Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas…read more…
I like chocolate. I like it a lot. Some people like to savour it slowly, but for some reason I tend to consume it at a rate of knots. Sometimes I specifically think to myself, “okay, this time I’ll just eat a bit, sucking it slowly, and then save the rest for a bit later”, but for some reason that never happens. I just keep on eating it as soon as the first bit has dissolved.
Milk Chocolate bars used to be my favoured method of chocolate fix delivery. Yes, I know that chocolate aficionado’s say dark chocolate is the thing to be discussed and savoured in polite society, but for me milk chocolate, and a great coffee, or mixed together as a molten chocolate mocha-chino are now the most indulgent and enjoyable ways I like to take my self-prescription.
