I’ve been using widgetized themes ever since Widgets came out for WordPress. During that time I’ve always used pre-widgetized themes but I recently found a theme I wanted to use that didn’t support them. I decided I would learn to widgetize a theme and guess what. It is extremely simple. I used the directions here and it works great.

5.4 @ 11:42
It was the largest quake we’ve had since the 1999 Landers/Big Bear and it was felt by a lot of people. We had a few pictures fall but the funniest thing I think I’ve ever seen was these bananas that got peeled by the shaking.

HowMuchMileage.com
That’s the name of my new website. I’ve been thinking about ways to use the internet to make a little extra money and it hit me that the price of gas is a pretty big topic right now. Most people would like to save money on gas and/or get better mileage. I started thinking of names that might work for a domain name and tried out a few before finding howmuchmileage was available. I went ahead and purchased it and I’ve spent the last week or so setting up the website and it’s ready for people to look at now.
It’s still a bit slim as far as content but I’m hoping some people might register for the forum and start posting ideas for links and/or just ideas to help the site grow.
I know most of my family is running Firefox with AdBlock so you don’t see the ads but there are several there. I’ve also got some on this site trying to see how they work.
If you see an ad that interests you click on it but please don’t click for clicking sake. Google frowns on that.

Descanso Gardens
On Sunday we had planned to go to the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve but we realized it would be very crowded due to the Poppy Festival that weekend. Betty has always wanted to go to Descanso Gardens so we went there instead. Here’s a pretty picture I took.
The rest of the pictures are in my Gallery.

WordPress 2.5
There’s a new version of WordPress out. I just installed it but I’m not quite sure what’s new. It definitely looks different than the older versions. I think they were going for a simpler look.
They have made it easier to add media which means more than just pictures. There is now a link for image, video, audio, and one just called media. I’ll see what they do at a later date. It looks like they’ve gone Web 2.0.
The update was just as easy as it usually is. Backup, copy a few folders, run the 2 second update and you’re done.

Where am I again?
We were in Trader Joe’s tonight getting some Clam Chowder when they made an announcement over the PA system. They said, “If you would like to see some rare weather for LA go look outside. It’s hailing.”
We went to the front of the store and sure enough it was hailing pretty heavy. We watched for a few minutes and it got heavier. We finally got into the car because it wasn’t slowing down. It stopped a few blocks down the street after we left.
We expected stuff like this when we were in Wisconsin but not here.
