Well I did it again. Not being happy with my last theme, I decided to start a new theme from scratch. The good news was that I was able to reuse some of the PHP code from the last theme, so I saved some typing. I’m happy with how this theme turned out, so I’ll keep it for a while.
One issue I did notice was that this theme became slow after I applied it to Technically Easy. I couldn’t understand why, as the amount of code is actually less than my previous theme. Upon further investigation, I was able to determine a problem, which was unrelated to my theme, and was able to find a solution.

I have written many tutorials on editing a Blogger template. Many of the tutorials center around creating static pages in Blogger, since Blogger doesn’t natively support static pages. Since I switched to Wordpress about a year ago, I haven’t really had a Blogger blog that displayed some of what I discussed.
I decided a few weeks ago to create a new Blogger blog, since I still had an account. I went online and found a template and began editing it and incorporating a few new things that I found. I have called this blog Blogger to the Limit and this post will outline some of the changes that I have incorporated into this blog.

I decided to look into how to do this as it doesn’t seem that difficult to do. After some testing I managed to hide those navigational links from static pages in Blogger. Let’s look at how to do this.

I recently upgraded to the current version of Wordpress. I am always weary about upgrading as there are many things that can go wrong. I realize that upgrading Wordpress is required for bug and security fixes, but I also realize that all plugins that I use may not be compatible with the latest version.
That being said, I decided to upgrade when I had time to solve an problems. I waited for some time to see if others have had issues, and when I was satisfied, I performed the upgrade. Once the upgrade had completed, however, I ran into a problem when I accessed my plugins from the admin panel. The problem was related to memory, and it prevent me from viewing the plugins I had installed on my blog. The good news is that the fix was simple, but did take some quick searching to find.
