So, last night I attempted to edit my blog a little, because the theme was still set onto the default database theme. Now, I know absolutely nothing about wordpress themes at all, so I figured I would hunt through their handy dandy collection and choose a premade skin until I learnt how to make them. That’s what they’re there for, right? Anyway, I located the skin I wanted, clicked install, and *legasp* – All of my widgets had disappeared! Instead, there sat the theme’s defaults. This set me back a few, because I had just added a text widget of all of my links, and even though it hadn’t taken long, it would be frustrating to code them all again.

But still, I did so, and dragged it back into the sidebar, clicked save, the usual. But it still wasn’t showing up on the main page. Baffled, I clicked the title on my website, leading me to the /blog section of the website, rather than the overall index page… and on there, my sidebar looked fine. I hovered over the links and noticed that I had miscoded them slightly, and so I went back and edited them, and saved again. They still didn’t show on the index page, and the codes were still messed up on the blog directory. But I clicked a random link in the archive calendar, and everything was fine on that page. :S

It was at this point that I went to bed, and now, the day after, my widgets still aren’t showing on the index page, all of my widgets are showing except for the links ((correctly coded or not)) on the blog directory, and everything is fine once you follow the archive link. I’ve tried deleting my cookies and that didn’t work, I’ve tried resaving all of the widgets and that didn’t work, I don’t know what else to do. I don’t think it’s a wordpress problem, because they would have received some sort of complaint and fixed it eons ago… So it must be something I’m doing, but I have no idea what it is.

Ah well, I’m sure I’ll figure it out eventually.

Anyway, it snowed again. 2010 seems to be a year of blizzards so far. Last night the snow was really heavy, as well, it started snowing at around four in the afternoon, and by ten past the edges of the road were covered – I went to bed at around one in the morning, and it hadn’t slowed down at all. It took my dad two hours to get home from work when it usually only takes him quarter of an hour. It saddens me though, that those nutters who still tried to get to work this morning have caused the road to clear a little. The edges are still full, but there are two reasonably sized tracks down the middle where the average tyre marks have been. I know it’s being greedy to want so much time off school, especially when other people have exams, but I’m just so much happier sat in my house. xD

I think I’m going to go and build another snowman with my nieces later. I think I mentioned the one from last week that was more of a mound than a snowman. Today we plan to make one that rivals the likes of Arnold Snowmanegger down the road. We’re going the whole hog, although I have no idea what the snowman will be called. Hmm…

I also finished New Moan – the Twilight parody. It was pretty hilarious. Best names in the book go to Joe Cahontas, Wanda Mensional and Winona Arizona. I think I’m going to finish Frankenstein and Dorian Gray next, seeing as I have to write an essay on them, after all. xD
