So, mostly for the hell of it, I’ve loaded my footer with the output of as much of my activity elsewhere on the interweb that I could think to include. Let’s see if it’s useful, or just information overview overkill.
So, instead of switching to Hemingway as a new theme, I just made some small tweaks to Sandbox and my accompanying CSS. I’ve been happy so far to be able to do my customizations to Sandbox entirely in an add-on CSS – but this time, I wanted an additional WordPress Widgets sidebar. Sandbox [...]
So, after reading a comment from Brian Cors and wandering by his site again, I’ve suddenly gotten more interested in the Hemingway theme for WordPress.

So here’s a problem that’s cropped up for me lately. I think it came with the upgrade to WP 2.0. I’m trying to include some Amazon-provided iframes in the sidebar for continue book pimping, which worked fine with my WP 1.5 installation. But now, for some reason, the iframes are always forced [...]
