Week in Review

This week, I veered off of my WordPress Thesis series in response to the pickup in StumbleUpon spammers. So this week’s post was on StumbleUpon etiquette faux pas, tips and resources.

Preview for the week of 10 August 2009

Next week, the continuation of the WordPress Thesis Customization series as planned with the actual coding in the Thesis OpenHook, custom functions and custom styling section that create the menu, Tweetmeme, layout and more on Kikolani.

  13. I always look forward to these posts Kristi. It’s nice to know that there is at least one constant in life that can be relied on. Out of all those links I’ve chosen the post about being king, not that I wanted to be king, I was just interesting to find out what it was all about. Once again it was a good read.
