Jenifire went to Peru (who knew?)

So, in August, apparentally, Jeno went to Peru… It looks like she toured the countryside and hiked up mountains… went to the amazon rainforest, boated across pink-dolphin infested waters, and got friendly with sheep and mules alike. I want the full story… if i get it I will post it somewhere…. perhaps I can convince her to start a blog of her own…

za1 theme in development

I’ve been working on a comprehensive theme, currently called za1 (very exciting name, eh?).  I will be mapping the components of my site into that theme (instead of hacking the themes of the components of my site to look kindof like each other). The themes are driven primarily by CSS, and done in such a way as to allow simple variations in how things should look… there will be an “options” selector on the top-right and it will allow you to easily choose theme options and it saves your options as a cookie (if you allow the cookie) or session variables if your don’t allow the cookies.
