As you can see, I changed the look on – juliettemaxwell.com -. I found this theme via Smashing Magazine and I really liked it. It’s called designpile and it has a lot of stuff to it.

I like the way it looks now, but I will be tweaking things over the course of the week, so bear with me for a while. Also, starting Tuesday, I’m going to be offering ad space here. I’m not looking to make a fortune out of ads but I would at least like to make enough to pay for another year of my domain name. Details, on Tuesday when I have everything up and running.

I’m also using some new plugins that you might be interested in:

• WP NiceEdit – I found this one via Joanne Faith and I love the look it gives to the comments area. I haven’t tried to format and submit something from there but if you want to try it, feel free to experiment with it.
• SexyBookmarks – It gives me this cute rollover social media buttons that you can click to share posts. Everyone is using them so I jumped into the bandwagon.
• WP-RelativeDate – This one allows the date to be shown with facebook like dates as in “4 minutes ago”, “Yesterday” and “Today”. I like it because then I have a constant reminder of when was the last time I posted or when was the last time that I posted something.

Talking about WordPress plugins, why is everyone using LinkWithin? I don’t like it (already tried it). I think it looks ugly and takes up too much space and the borders, ugh, horrible. If you like it and use it, cpuld you tell me why you chose it and how it has worked for you?

Did I tell you that I have no electricity, but I do have access to the internet? Thank God, I already did all my work and have a full charge on my laptop battery.

What are your favourite WordPress plugins (if you use WordPress of course)?
