We have just moved to a more flexible home. This is a sub-domain of one of our longest standing web sites, BuyNowShop.com.
Our former home at WordPress.com was a great place to start, but the lack of Plugin and widget access provided the impetus to move to a self-hosted WordPress blog.
We finally decided to go with the Desk Mess theme, below are some notes taken directly from the original authors details. We found a few corrections were needed, and will be making further modifications as we grow.
Original Theme Name: Desk Mess
Original Theme URI: http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/desk-mess-wordpress-theme
Original Description: Casual work-desk theme for a different blogging experience. Brought to you Geek with Laptop
Original Version: 1.4
Original Author: Geek With Laptop
Original Author URL: http://www.geekwithlaptop.com
The CSS/XHTML is released under GPL: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php
Some fonts used in this theme that may or may not be installed on the reader’s computer:
A final note, buyer beware: This theme was originally downloaded from www.ThemesPreview.com where we found they are adding an encoded “relay.php” file to most every theme they have available to be downloaded for free. This file is included in the “footer.php” file and creates a link to ad sites of one sort or another. I was disappointed.
I searched out the original author’s web site to download a clean and current version. I have no idea what else may be in these relay.php files but please, as a matter of peace of mind, be aware and check each file (line-by-line) in a text editor of any theme you acquire to make sure you are hopefully not getting something you did not want.

We have been toying with some new ideas lately and we will be looking to put some test installations into action very soon.
This will be a project built using WordPress so I am really looking forward to working on this. The general concepts will be fairly straight forward. The implementation procedures and processes are just going through their initial setups, test, and time trials. So far everything is going smoothly. The ground-effects of the project are designed around automation … and that is all we are sharing at this time.
Now, have I said anything here? No, not really, but hopefully this will keep enticing you to follow along.
