  • Pop Some Tags

    I learned something new today. From Macklemore. And my teenage son. We were in the car. Macklemore’s Thrift Shop was playing. (Warning! Bad language!)

  • Trying new WordPress Themes

    I am seeing which WordPress theme I like best for laurakornish.com. On Moon, I couldn’t figure out how to remove the title “Moon” at the top of the page. On Corporate-Lite, there was too much emphasis on the slider images. On the twenty-ten, -eleven, etc. themes, there were other things I wasn’t sure I could […]
