Over the weekend some of you may have noticed quite a few sudden changes to the theme of the blog. This is because my old theme had broken and I had to publish and preview several themes before settling on this one.
I didn’t notice the problem at first because from the main page, everything was working as intended. But while checking for errors on my latest review, I noticed that all the widgets on the right were gone, and the header was also wonky. Then at the bottom of the page I saw “There was a critical error on this web site.”
This was not the case on the WordPress-hosted version of my blog, so I didn’t bother changing the theme to match over there. In fact, for once I’m not even going to mirror this post over there because the issue is specific to my server-hosted blog.
This may not be the last change to the theme, because my search for a new theme didn’t turn up anything I liked. Rather, this is just the one I hate the least. Most everything else is geared toward a more magazine-like structure or for business operation, and all I need is a place to put words. But if I can’t find anything better, at least this one will load correctly. And who knows? Maybe with the next PHP updates, my old theme will begin working again. We’ll see how it goes.
