Pagerank | The Habitation of Justice

BOOYAH!

:banana: :spinna:

It’s time to not only celebrate my blog relaunch, but my two year blogging anniversary!! :shades: And dude, the video totally captures the moment here. I’m talking a blog wrecked to death, only to come back stronger, sleeker, and totally badass with some badass music cranking in the background and leather jackets and cool black vintage cars cruising the highway and let us go have a throwdown and kick some serious scum of the earth hellbags because baby, I am back!

Yeah, I’m a little excited here. :ggrin:

But really, what I just pulled off was a miracle that only God could have given me, and I now have the latest version of WordPress along with a new Who-is-your-DADDY theme that is all kinds of awesomeness. :shades:

I still need to work out a few kinks and decide on a new photo gallery to use, but for all intents and purposes the site is now live, with a sleeker, faster look and a few new bells and whistles I think you’ll all enjoy. For an idea of what’s new, see the little oval thingie jiggy to the right of each post title? Go give that a click.

Cool, huh?

In addition, you’ll now be able to edit comments as well. I also dropped a few plugins, added a cache system and went with a 2 sidebar look again to reduce clutter. Yes the ads are still there, but they are no longer as obtrusive as they used to be. To be honest I got tired of having a larded up ad block embedded inside my posts, partly because I couldn’t quote or post any media content on the fly. The ad would jam it up and I’d have to manually remove it in order for the post to show cleanly. Not cool. But I still need the ads though, since the 50 cents I’m making a day is paying for my newspaper, and I just don’t know how I could live without those two quarters a day, ya know?

As for the dark theme, I’m working on creating a white backdrop just for the posts and comments for easier reading (while still maintaining a dark look), so stay tuned there. I might have gotten it done sooner but the theme kept overriding my color settings. Regardless, let me know what you think.

It wasn’t easy though, but I got through it, and now I can finally enjoy the fruits of my labor…. except of course, Google just had to rain on my parade by dropping my pagerank from a 4 to a 3 while I was busy upgrading. :rant: Really Google, why don’t you just suck my ass times a thousand? Dweebs.

But meh, whatever. I finally made a leapfrog in upgrading without having to spend a fortune to have a designer do it, my sleek black car will get a nice facelift and wax job by the end of the summer, and in a few more months I’ll be out of debt, cruising the road and enjoying my new lease on life. All I’ll need then is a weathered black leather jacket, and my life will truly be complete. :ggrin:
