The Shark Tank

It was one of those cascading things.  I wanted to show my tweets on the blog and that created a problem because I had a very old theme that didn’t support all the cool new features of the new WordPress.  Well, actually, I didn’t even have the cool new version of WordPress either.  One thing [...]
