I made a new friend a couple of days ago. I got over my head with the technical aspects of blogging so deeply I was ill. There was a real threat that my redneck roots would leave me hammer in hand with a broken computer in pieces before me. Providence or synchronicity or blind luck led me to a wonderful resource. I found Alexander who lives in exotic Northern Spain. He is my new WordPress Hero. He has written or designed or whatever a new free theme that is featured on WordPress. It called SimplifiedBlog.

Couple of cool things:
It is mobile ready
There is an upgrade for only $25
The coolest thing is that for a couple more dollars this beautiful human did it all for me in one day.
He was most responsive and understandable and did everything he promised and more.
I am so thankful that I did not have to spend the night in jail and that my blog works now.
Thank you my new WordPress hero!
He is available for general consulting on large or small scales and come with my recommendation and heartfelt thanks.
Go see him at
There are always people when you need them!
He was great! I recommend him highly
Good to know! Been there man times and those happiness engineers at WP can make your day. thanks
Good morning friend. Thanks for stopping by here.
Dear man,
“my redneck roots would leave me hammer in hand with a broken computer in pieces before me” I would never call you a redneck, you merely went primal when your device of expression refused to be cooperatively expressive, resulting in a primal urge to beat the crap out of it. So natural, this frustration with technology, while our children just whip their fingers all over screens to make rainbows, butterflies and arpeggios fly out of the speakers. Are we not meant to have our feet on bare earth and souls in mud? We are mere creatures of the soil, who have moments of technological bliss, followed by cro-magnon man moments where your tool became a weapon and needed to hit something large and immobile like the floor or a sturdy table. Sorry, I’m rambling. I’m glad you got the site stuff fixed and found a person who actually believes in customer service. Tis a rare and beautiful thing.
Please say hi to ” Providence or synchronicity or blind luck” and send them my way. I could use them for some things around here.
Girlfriend, you are such a hoot and a poet in your own “write!” Loved your comment!
Love your ramblings. Cromagnon man moments, lol ! I could go on – ‘cos I can so relate to all of it, including having my own cro-woman moments 🙂
Thank you. I go there too often too, I’m afraid. See you there? 🙂
I’m so glad you didn’t end up in jail. The thought of you being cigarette-less and deflowered is just too much 🙂
I’ve taken note of the link – thanks !
🙂 I hope you have a happy day
Don’t look at it as taking the hammer to the computer as much as give a nail a break! You have used up any chance of scoring the powerball with that brush with luck my friend
See. 🙂 Well its something. I really liked the guy. He handled business.
It’s a rare thing to actually get help.
This guy did. If you need any advice email him. Say plato sent you
I’ll keep it handy. I have my share of issues with WordPress and the iPad .
Hmmm… I actually HAVE killed a computer or two. Once with milk and cereal. So, is this your used to be blog? or a brandy new one? It looks similar, but I am not sure if it’s just stuff moved over to the other side or is it completely different? Is all of your original stuff on this blog as well?
Either way, I for one, am glad you didn’t follow through with those ‘redneck’ inclinations. Of course I’d have come and visited you in jail, but still.
:). Its new bur similar. Its fairly simple but can do a lot morw than the other. Plus the guy who wrote it is accessible. And thank yoy for offering to come visit me in jail. Please bring cigarettes so I won’t get deflowered
Help from Spain, ahahahahah….
See 🙂
We all need help once in a while. Thankfully mine is a family member who still leaves nearby. Glad you found the one you need to keep you grooving.
Oh my! I didn’t know you were in danger of killing your computer!!! 😮
