the olive ream

Since the re-launch (or more pretentiously speaking renaissance) of the Olive Ream, the site has gone through two exacting theme changes. The current wordpress theme you see before you was chosen because I naively thought it would be easily manageable and customizable, and primarily because the first theme I chose made the fonts as large as piles of elephant dung when viewed through IE. But how bloody wrong I was about this current theme. Since I installed it, I’ve tried to clean up the original (diagonally striped background) with something more plain. But for some God forsaken reason, this theme, (which I am now fully convinced is possessed), keeps returning back to the original striped background at odd times during the day, (at least that is how it appears for me through firefox and IE both). And no, I am not an alcoholic or on drugs, just in case you were wondering.

In addition to evil-spirited occurence of the striped backgrounds at odd times, the right side bar is being controlled by the minions of this evil theme spirit, as the text links and banners have the habit of left aligning themselves without me having to fiddle with the code in the theme editor. And for some bastard like reason, the paragraph breaks do not appear in most posts as they should, which is a real hemorrhoidal pain in the gluteus maximus.

Yesterday, the whole bloody site disappeared for no damn good reason. Had it not been for Teeth Maestro and his technical maneuvering to save this site, you would all be now looking at a white page with ‘404 Error’ probably stating ‘Site possessed by the Mephistopheles of the blogging world’.

I spent most of today, exorcising the demons out of the design theme with the aid of Holy can of Soda and large pieces of garlic bread, which also happened to be part of my lunch. As of now, I think the beelzebub of wordpress has been sent to the hell it came from but unfortunately, I cannot be sure that all will remain peaceful in the future. So in case, you notice the site theme is out of whack and the fonts are left aligning or hideously large in size or the background is all buggered, please know that it is not my fault, it is most likely that the satanic theme has returned to haunt the hell out of my innocent little home in cyberspace. Just do me a favour, and inform me of the demonic errors you might notice.

BEGONE YOU EVIL DIABLO OF WEB LOGS, THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!!

Update: February 4th, 2007

The demonic theme in question has been expelled to the bowels of hell that it came from. Another pious, God-fearing theme has now been adopted in its place and that is the theme that you see before you. I pray for its sanctity, preservation and life ever lasting. Amen.
