For a few weeks now I’ve been planning on doing some much needed housekeeping around here (upgrading wordpress, slapping on a new theme, better flickr integration, etc.). It’s pretty clear I’m never going to do it unless I set aside a couple of hours to do so on the calendar. So . . .
tmrw (Friday) expect the site to be a bit out of sorts since I’ve scheduled some time to try to at least tackle some of the basic upgrades that are on my list.
If anyone has any suggestions on things they’d like to see improved around here, drop me an email or drop a comment below.
