Effective Immediately: I’m Closing My Ill-Used Spam-Attracting Forums That Barely Serve A Vestigial Purpose At This Point
Essentially: it does what it says on the tin. My bbPress forums were a) Magnets for spammers of every *dol, Cia*, Dolc*gab* and Ho*ref*nance 2) CPU chewers for little payoff D) Not really used by y’all or me* So, in short, I’m deactivating them and shall breathe a sigh of relief. If you’ve comments related…

Elbee Elgee Version 1.3/1.3.1 Aka “The Tabbed One”
After a healthy delay, I’ve released Elbee Elgee 1.3 to the Dot Org Theme Repository. I’ve added a few things worth noting.

A Plea For A Bit Of Help From You IE-Savvy Web Developers Out There
I’m slowly working my way into making Elbee Elgee into a releasable theme and I’ve been merrily plinking away on my MacBook Pro, validating the look and feel in Opera, Safari and Firefox.

How About Helping A Fellow Web Geek Out, Huh?
Why didn’t anyone tell me that my site/theme looks like absolute garbage in IE? I mean, I haven’t done extensive testing, but dang, man!, it’s awful. Crap.

Showin’ Off A Bit
I’m experimenting with allowing for custom stylesheets in Elbee Elgee, so don’t be alarmed by the current style.
