There are a couple dozen web sites and blogs that I hop around and read. This is more enjoyable to me than reading a newspaper, which is usually about doom and gloom. The blogs that I read are uplifting and inspiring although often in a technical way. But I enjoy reading the thought processes and new ideas that the writers present or discuss.

For example, the blog about Flash Streamworks might sound too technical to enjoy reading on a casual basis. But take a look at their entry about a puppy cam. Now that’s inspiring to me. Imagine including this type of video link in a Craigslist ad for the puppies you want to sell. Or if you are a puppy breeder or even a shelter, including a live puppy can on your website would surely attract new homes for the puppies.

These are the kinds of ideas that get me excited about computers and technology!

Have been to trying to learn my way around the blogosphere and get up to speed so I can do some funthings with this blog. One thing I’d like to do is change the skin, or the looks of the pages. That is called “themes” in blog-speak.

A lot of sites claim to offer free WordPress themes and I’ve looked at several of them. But then I read on forums that some of these free themes have hidden malicious links or backdoors and that makes me nervouse. If anyone has a good, trustworthy site with free WordPress themes, I’d appreciate it very much if you share that info with me here.

Thanks a lot!
