From Yoga to Thesis, A Morning’s Work

March 31st, 2010

My friends think I’m a closet geek and tease me for being some­what tech­ni­cally adept (except when they want tech sup­port). Today I was almost con­vinced of that myself.

I went off to an early morn­ing class at Yoga Bliss, and then before chang­ing out of my yoga wear, updated my busi­ness blog’s frame­work to the lat­est ver­sion of The­sis, a pow­er­ful theme man­ager for Word­Press blogs. From the stand­point of The­sis, all went flaw­lessly, thanks to fol­low­ing the developer’s instruc­tions meticulously.

The only hang-up occurred because my web host­ing ser­vice (unbe­knownst to me) had decided to beef up secu­rity con­trols: it refused my login  pass­word while attempt­ing to upload the new The­sis theme folder via FTP. It took a while to fig­ure out what was going on, reset my pass­word to some­thing more secure (but emi­nently for­get­table), and then upload the The­sis folder via FTP. So now I’m back in busi­ness, run­ning a faster ver­sion of The­sis and hop­ing for speed­ier page loads as promised.

And maybe one of these days I’ll find the time to play around with the new The­sis con­trols, and tweak the look and feel of the blog. But for now, I’m glad the upgrade went smoothly.

And maybe one of these days I’ll shift this blog from the Cut­line theme to Thesis…
