I gots da smilies, yay, yay yay:giggle:
So I was a WordPress convert before I even decided for sure I was going to do this blog thing. I ummed and ahhed about having a Blogger blog for months, as that’s where most of the cross-stitching blogs seem to be. The big appeal to me here though, as I was saying, is the CSS, and the tinkering with the nuts and bolts of the thing. Not so much the blog itself. When I read a little bit about WordPress, the decision was made. The install was super-simple, and took less than 10 minutes, even for me!
WordPress is a PHP application, so if I get the inclination, I can tinker with a whole lot more than just the style. But better… there’s a whole lot of people already doing just that, and making their code available as plugins and hacks. Hence, courtesy of Alex King, insta-smilies in my posts and comments (go see:wink:). Colour me happy!
My current theme and smilies are by the talented Becca Wei at Beccary. You can find the smilies here, and download the Ocadia theme from here.
