Cutline theme story, and more!

As some of you know, I use the Cutline theme for TechNest Report (which is powered by WordPress).  I’m finally ready to let you know that I have been working on some new looks based on the awesome Cutline theme and it is coming within the next week.  However, the main reason I have not made any changes live yet (and the main reason for this post) is that I have been having some problems with the 3-column right version of Cutline.  Here’s the story:  

Having a 3-column layout, it was my goal to have access to two widget columns.  Well, Cutline 3-column right 1.1 only gave me access to one of these columns in the admin area.  Cutline 1.1 also did not display all the other static pages of the site at the top (as it should).  Well, after countless hours of sticking my head into the theme editor and searching for someone online who would shed some light on my issues, I found out that version 1.33 is out.  I did not even check to see if a new version had been released earlier in my quest to solve these issues because I obtained version 1.1 only a few weeks ago and thought that an update could not come this soon.  Well, I’m glad to say that 1.33 solved both of these nuances and I’m a happy Cutline user now.  

The moral of the story here is that if anyone using Cutline as their theme and having problems accessing both sidebars and/or getting static page titles to show up below the header image, upgrade Cutline!  Just in case this statement doesn’t get Googled, let it be out in the open:

Don’t be like me and spend hours reading through your theme templates, scowering forums, and setting up new blogs!  Just upgrade and all your problems will go away. 

In other news, I will be posting pictures and video of me performing surgery on my iBook G4 and upgrading the hard disk (as well as cleaning it out).  It wasn’t as bad as one might think.  All that is needed is a table with at least a square meter of  space each way and some organizational skills.  It also doesn’t help if your internal frame is broken (superglue doesn’t help).

With that, I will retire to watch a movie.  I’ll Twitter the name.  Visual changes coming soon, as well as our very first podcast!  

Stay tuned!
