I give up. I've spent a good couple of weeks trying to tweak this theme I picked for my craft blog and I'm starting over. I'm going to take the time and learn to build a good theme from scratch and stop wasting time trying to fix something that has so many problems. That's the problem I've found with most Wordpress themes out there — the person making it only has the most rudimentary understanding of css, html, wordpress tags, etc. and he/she pieces together something and it kind of works. The problem comes in when someone like me tries to add stuff and their jacked up code causes me all sorts of frustrations. Especially when the theme says it is 2.0 compliant, yet I find deprecated tags in there. Grrr. Oh, well. It has been a great learning experience. So, it will still be a bit before it goes live. Sorry.

The good news is I finally had some inspiration for a theme for this site last Friday at work. I've been working on that and hopefully I'll have it ready to go by next weekend. I really didin't want to have my "Pink for October" theme in place when I do the Blogathon at the end of the month. Ooh, that reminds me that today is July 1st and registrations were supposed to open up for it. Watch the blog here for news about that soon and when you can start pledging support for me. Mark you calendars that the event is Saturday, July 28th.
Edit: Registrations not yet open, but they will be soon. I'm so excited I can't stand it!
