Friday Night And All Is Quiet
Whats happening today/tonight? Lets see…my wife, (bless her heart), had surgery today. It was elective, outpatient surgery, but an ordeal for her just the same. The poor thing has been sleeping since we got back home this morning. She’s doing just fine and has plenty of Percocet to get her through the “hard times”. As I poured the medication in her hand earlier, I said, “one for you, one for me, one for you, one for me…ha! Just kidding!
If you’ve been to my blog before, (and hopefully you have), you’ll note that I’ve changed my theme. Previously, I was using the XMark Theme from Lisa Sabin-Wilson. I love the XMark theme that Lisa created, but I’m just not comfortable enough to go in and start changing colors in my themes, and the red was just beginning to make me twitch a little! Lisa has been so accommodating every time I’ve asked for help, I’m sure she probably would have walked me through this,….but I so hated to bother her and something inside told me that I needed to look for something new for ChrisHoyt.com. Lisa is currently finishing up work on, “WordPress for Dummies“, so I consider her an expert when it comes to WordPress! I’m still using the XMark theme for some of my other sites. Hopefully when her book is released, I can pick up a copy and start making my own changes to my own sites!
So….when I had the opportunity to get to know Don, at AffiliateWatcher.com, I really liked the Cutline theme, (created by Chris Pearson), that he had chosen for his blog, and felt like it was a theme I could “settle in with”. So I’ve been working on switching over to the new look. I’m currently using the header images that came with the theme, but intend to change them when I get a little extra time. So far, I really like it! Of course…it’s like anytime I get something new…I’m like a kid at Christmas you know! That’s one of the reasons I think WordPress is so cool! So much great stuff to choose from…themes, plugins, etc.!
So thats it for a Friday. I hope you have had a great week!

Best wishes with your wife. Have you heard of the themese that Courtney Tuttle has put together at his blog? He has made them SEO friendly and they have helped with his page rank for their designated keywrods. Also the same for Cade at Write To Right. I suggest you take a look at those themes when you get a shot.
Thanks for the tip Mark! Court offers some great info and I made it a point to drop by and take a look at his site again this morning. (Also made it a point to add his site to my reader!) Thanks

Chris, I hope the wife is doing well! I had a sad Friday myself, I had my wisdom teeth removed. Yuck! My cheeks are about 3x their normal size. Give your wife my best wishes and let her know I’m feeling her pain (to some degree)!

Hello Brandon,
Thanks for the “well wishes”! I’ll pass that along to my wife. She is feeling more “human” by the way and we might actually go out to eat tonight. (I think she’s really enjoying the fact that the kids are out of the house for now!)
Sorry to hear you’ve had to go through the “wisdom tooth removal” thing. I KNOW that is no fun. Hang in there…hopefully it will get better quickly.
I assume by your user-name, you’re working out of Dallas TX? I spent a couple of years down there at TI, and have to say that I miss it occasionally. Of course I left there in 1988, and I probably wouldn’t recognize anything if I went back today? Would still like to go down and look around sometime.
Thanks for your comments and hopefully to drop by again sometime.

Hi Coorg,
