I have to give a shout out to Woo Themes, my new favorite theme creators for WordPress. I like them so much, I changed LitMUSE, Gerald R. Lucas, Photographer, and the Humanities Index over to their three free themes, Typebased, Snapshot, and Premium News, respectively. They have a subscription service, but being the poor educator [...]

Revised
Well, I’ve moved my photography web site from iWeb to WordPress. I also moved it to my ISP, from Apple’s me.com. I wasn’t about to pay $100 a year for calendar syncing (which is all I used from MobileME). So, I had to get my grlucas.com domain off of their servers. I’m using a free [...]

With the dominance of professional blogs, trolls, and time limitations, Twitter seems the obvious choice for the 2008 blogger.

The New LitMUSE
Well, I’ve been meaning to do it for a while, and there’s nothing like convalescing to give me some free time. I’ve finally updated the look of my courseware website LitMUSE. Actually, this theme is one I came up with several years ago, but I updated the CSS and made it into a template for [...]
