Funny kind of week – ennui seems to have set in.  Can’t explain it.  Does it have something to do with the Ides of March I wonder.  This is so unlike me.  This is the end of the first quarter.  There are goals to meet not only for the month but for the quarter, but it seems that a low energy cloud has somehow engulfed me.  This is the second week in a row.  I have decided not to fight it.  Sometimes it is best to allow yourself to just go with the flow – at least for a while.

Mentioned earlier here Blog Income is scheduled to undergo a complete reno so I have been looking at several WordPress theme templates to replace the current one.  Every time I visit a sight that appeals to me I scroll down to the bottom to see what the name of the theme is.  Following suggestions I have set the following as a starting point:

Simplicity – simple header,  customizable
Congruity – fonts, size, style etc visually appealing
Three column – content on  left, two side bars on the right

Atahualpa has been recommended by many and I must say that it seems to meet all the above and apparently very flexible/customizable.  The only thing is that most of the sites have the sidebars on both the left and the right.   I am sure that I saw at least one site that was on Atahualpa but the sidebars were both to the right…. ok, a little more work before putting on the switch (and maybe then I can put on the Ritz … it’s bad, I know )

Now for the week that was – new posts since the summary of last week:

Sunday Morn Musings: Designer Tomatoes  14/03/10
When shopping for fresh produce I stay away from the pure red, blemish free, perfectly round, still attached to its vine, tomato.  Instead, I carefully pick through the adjacent bin, the one with the imperfect tomatoes looking for perfect tomatoes.  I know.  That is a contradiction.   For the full article on why hop on over to Sunday Morn Musings

Romancing Alexa for Blog Supremacy 18/03/10
You may have noticed a new logo sporting a golden graphic of what I think is a chrysanthemum and the proclamation that this blog is a proud member of the Yakezei Challenge – it is not an affiliate banner.  Read the story behind it and how Alexa figures prominently behind it.

Whilst visiting Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income and posting a comment, my flying fingers accidentally hit the wrong key and just like that, the comment vanished!  I took that occasion to flesh it out further and wrote an whole post on whether quality or quantity of posts rule in the blogosphere … read the whole Quality vs Quantity post
