New Blog Smell… Same Old Sweet

Sugar Jones

I got a new theme! What do you think? We were having SOOOO many issues with old themes and WP upgrades and bad plugins. Every other month, the blog looked like a three year old had gotten hold of the password and was playing with the code. Thanks to my patient pal, Astacia at Expand [...]
