… that my homepage daveydreamnation.com has been down for maintenance for the past five days, despite my good intentions.

… that the theme I’m now using is perhaps more suitable to a magazine or newsletter format, and contains many features I’ll never use.

… that the theme templates seem to contain many bugs and errors that make it difficult to use them properly, despite their potential.

… that the slideshow in particular is not working, to my chagrin, as this was the only real reason I decided to switch themes in the first place.

… that, in general, my approach to web design and page layout is based on readability and a love of text as opposed to pretty images.

… and that I *could* work my arse off *creating* a functional *community* here and still be deemed not Web 2.0 enough for some.

BUT …

… after ten years of teaching myself HTML and PHP, and having posted over 1100 FREE pieces of content that no one except the Googlebot actually reads …

… I AM GOING TO TAKE MY OWN SWEET TIME FIXING THESE PROBLEMS.
