Is this still April Fools by any chance? Someone pulled a joke on me that's for sure. I contacted my blog host last night to investigate database issues and I woke up today to a different template. Someone must have hit the wrong button. My heart is still beating ... pant, pant, pant. All is well now, at least I think. Hah! Is this still April Fools by any chance?

It's easy and does so much more than just HTML. You should take a look at it. I also used MX. My daughter bought a copy from Asia a few years ago. It only cost her $5. It was probably a bootleg because the serial didn't work ;-) Yes, Dreamweaver can be daunting which is why I recommend using WeBuilder. It’s easy and does so much more than just HTML.

It's good to hear from you again. The reason why I started with a "pre-made" template is because I wanted a news magazine style. The bottom line is it would have been too much work starting from scratch and taken away my time from actual blogging. But I have made so many changes to the original code that I feel that it is my own theme now. In fact my blog doesn't look much like the original at all. I like to use WeBuilder for coding. It handles everything including html, css, javascripts and php. A very powerful piece of software and inexpensive as well. Which version of Dreamweaver are you using? Hi Jaffer.

I don't know how you keep up with having a pre-made template. The control freak inside me makes me build templates from scratch. (My templates unfortunately are not coded for distribution but I hope to make one just for that purpose in the future) Over the past few months I'm quite proud of how much I learned and now making new WordPress templates don't look that hard. I use Dreamweaver to manage my code and files and I don't think I'll ever want to use another program ! <em>Jaffer's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/maniaravings/~3/269817642/' rel="nofollow">April Showers for Blogging</a></em> Everything looks and works awesome, even sideways (neck cramp, head on pillow)!
