Screw LightPress
Screw LightPress. I could never get it looking the way I wanted — well, to be fair, I didn’t have the patience to get it to look the way I wanted –, it didn’t work right with Markdown, and it didn’t fix my wonky Dreamhost idiocy. So, I’m back to my friggin’ design. If Dreamhost [...]
I know this is ugly
Please bear with me, I’m trying to upgrade to WordPress 2.0 like all the cool kids, but I don’t have a lot of time to make it pretty. Or even to make it work correctly. So sorry.
