I’ve slapped yet another a new theme together for my site (as you can see). This one is for my own consumption (sorry – it’s not going public), but I will be basing my upcoming contest entry on the structure of it. For the most part, it’s done. I’ve just got to tweak some things for the Flickr RSS plug-in, but otherwise, it’s golden as they say.

Just a quick little aside; I purchased Mint a couple of days ago more on a whim than anything else. I liked the way it looked and thought it’d be a nice little addition to how I keep track of my stats. What I didn’t expect was, with a little extra Pepper added, the package was able to replace ALL methods of how I was watching downloads, Feedburner, searches, referrers; Everything! If you run a site of your own and aren’t really happy with how hard you have to work to keep track of your numbers, you really should give Mint a look-see. You’ll be impressed I guarantee.
