iPhone and iPod Theme Added
So I stumbled across a new plug in for Wordpress which creates a Theme for iPhone, iPod and other handheld devices, and it seems pretty cute.
WPTouch by Brave New Code is quite the plug in and I am testing it out on this site, with an eye towards putting it on Canadian Personal Finance in [...]

Test of Adsense Video Player
So I am really not sure what this will actually do, but here is an adsense video player test to see how it might work on my web site.

I had written a posting already for Monday talking about Family Day in Ontario, and after taking a few minutes [...]
New Advertisers and 2.7.1
Wordpress 2.7.1 is installed on both sites now although the automatic upgrade in Wordpress seems to have failed. I used Dreamhost’s 1 click upgrade instead, which seems to have worked no problem (which is a nice change too). The 1 click upgrade may be the way to go in the future, we shall see.
