How Many? How Often?

Ah, the age old question!

So, I've been working on a blog in secret. No, dear readers, I haven't been two-timing you like a cad, I promise. What I have been doing is working on a more professional blog that's more focused than this one. And, therein lies the rub.

WordPress Theme "Stuff"

So, you ever want to design a WordPress theme?

Well, I've been thinking about theme design for WordPress for a while now. I mean, I've done some small stuff, taking the basic themes and customizing them to make them my own, as it were, but I've never done anything from scratch. I'm working on it though.
