Water is my friend

Water is my friend. Water is my friend. Water is my friend. This is what I have to remind myself every time I go get some boring old water to drink. Which happens to be every day. (You know… because if you don’t drink water you’ll die n’ stuff..)
I’m not a big water drinker. I [...]

Fixed the ie6 issue

I finally fixed the IE6 issue only to be faced with a new issue. Adding new categories is broken. That happened after a recent update to Wordpress. It’s fine on my other blog though so I don’t know if it’s a theme issue or what’s going on. It can be really frustrating dealing with [...]
