I think probably yeah. I went surfing last night for education themes that I could use on my school websites. Knowing that the search was borderline futile I searched for the theme generator that I found a year or so ago. In the search I ran across a download for theme creation. So excited I decided to give it a try. It was crap. It is called Wordpress Theme Generator and it really is complete and total crap. Useless. I went to download dot com to find it so I could add my helpful review and apparently you have to have a login to review. I didn’t feel like dealing with that. However, in the search I found another program. Jackpot!!! Atisteer. There is a free trial that leaves watermarks on whatever you create, but I’m thinking it is well worth the price. One of the things I enjoyed about blogger was the ease of creating my own themes. None were too awesome, but it was a creative outlet for me and I could create something that reflected me and how I was feeling. On WP you either have to learn a slightly different coding system (I tried, but life got in the way) or you have to go with what others create. Some of my favorite themes are completely unusable because there are minor errors in the SQL database and I don’t even know where to start fixing the problem. I could probably figure it out, but it is too much like work. So here is my tech geek contribution to the WWW. Artisteer is what I want and I would like to have it as an early present.

*my current theme, watermarks and all, was created in about 15 minutes this morning.

Anything else? Well, since I’m asking. I also want a portable Tom-Tom or Garmin so that I can start geocaching with the kids. Anyone geocache? I’m open for advice on how to get started. Share and share alike!

Have a great weekend. It is absolutely beautiful here and I plan on enjoying it. Maybe, and that is a big maybe, I will do a little Christmas shopping…but I do have to come up with bday gift for Jem. Hmmm….
