Hey guys, changing my blog theme to represent the different holiday season, whether it be Christmas, Halloween, Easter or whatever is something that I always wanted to do but never did because it was all too damn hard. Not with the FlexSqueeze Theme, once I had picked the banner and background images it only took me five minutes.
The best thing is that I know I can restore the blog to it’s previous setup with the click of the mouse. The reason it is so simple is because the FlexSqueeze Theme admin page allows me to save my previous setup as a CSV file, which I called Wassupblog.csv, so when Easter is over I just import that file and the blog is restored to it’s original setting. Pretty neat huh? I can have a separate CSV file for absolutely any occasion, that I can tweak to my hearts content and incorporate as simple as 1,2,3.
Anyway, while I’ve got your attention, I may as well write about something that bloggers do when the need arises. Bloggers as a whole stick together and when we see a mate who is promoting something worthwhile, whether its a service or perhaps an easier more profitable way of doing things, we help them by letting others know what that service or need is. We do this by linking to their blog.
I know that there are many bloggers who for one reason or another are finding it hard to keep up with their posting regime. When you’ve worked hard to build up a decent readership base the last thing that you want is to lose it just because of some unsuspected circumstance that have taken you away from maintaining your normal posting routine.
It’s important to keep your blogs updated because the moment you start to slack off people become disappointed and begin to unsubscribe and you start to lose your hard fought for readership. Once lost it can become difficult to get them back.
Now I will get to the part on how I am going to help my mate Mitch who is offering a very important and useful service that will help bloggers in this situation. Mitch, for a very reasonable price will write original articles for anyone in need. Just by reading Mitch’s blog you will see what a proficient writer he is, and not making use of his talent and letting your blog lose traction would be a terrible shame.
The FlexSqueeze Theme gives my blog that professional look. I loved it so much that I bought the developers license. It's the easiest most customizable theme I've come across. See how easy it is to change your theme's appearance! Compare it to Thesis to see how much better it is! Check out some of the latest Latest Updates
I highly recommend you to get your FlexSqueeze copy today!

Actually Ray, I don’t know that it is. I found the banner and just adjusted the theme to go with it. Cool huh?
If I were a pro-blogger (or even a retired semi-pro who hung around the pitch making comments) I think that this would be an ideal theme to use, so a good find there! I keep toying with the idea of changing themes, but I am really used to my existing one and know it’s quirks and flaws now…

No worries Ray. I reckon the theme will still be there if you ever get the urge to update.
Very nice change there Sire! I wish you all the best, love and health to your beloved ones!

It’s only temporary stratos, just for the Easter week, after that I will click my mouse and the old settings will magically appear.
Yah i read that. But it’s a nice change to celebrate Easter. I won’t do that :P

Easter is very important to those who believe in how Christ suffered for us, as I do. I hope you and your family have a great Easter Stratos.
Greetings Sire -
Glad to see you supporting Mitch.
Off topic, but:
Have you seen the ‘review’ of your site on Tuscson SEO Solutions? (day 74)

I have now. Not exactly a long review but the blogger did say I wrote well which was something considering the dark theme made it hard to read. I don’t suppose I can complain at all considering that they did link to me.
She didn’t like your flashing ads either; then again, she didn’t like my Kontera ads, which I didn’t either, but I didn’t pull them because of her/him? Actually, I don’t really know. :-)

Which reminds me. I have to put that flashing ad back because it had a good conversion rate.
LOL! Glad to help. :surrender_tb:

I like the writing thing. Another way is to guest post and then reciprocate.

Nice theme update… I keep forgetting it’s almost Easter, since right now I’m so consumed by my upcoming nuptials. :)
By the way, are you still using Woopra? I finally got around to installing mine… it seems pretty neat so far.

Yep, although I haven’t bothered anyone with a chat, I figured they would rather be left to themselves.
As for the Theme update, now that I discovered how simple it is to do I reckon I will change it more often to fit in with my mood, the seasons, festivities that are around the corner or just as it takes my fancy.
Thanks for the love, Sire. From your lips to some folks pockets! :money_mouth_tb:

This theme really does it all, huh. Fun to see the soft pastels of Easter find their way on WassupBlog. Like to see what you come up with next.

That all depends on what I want to do. Maybe I’ll have a boy only week and I can have flesh colored tones and a lot of bare chested women, or would that be sexist? I could always have a week for women where I would have bare chested men, but I doubt that I would do much posting on that week.
I think your design before the theme switch was pretty much a male theme with the car and colors. If you go with one of those themes, I’m thinking you’ll have a few different Google ads showing :)
Gennaro´s Last blog post..Authentic Local Eats: Readers Weigh In
Twitter: AussieSire
I didn’t think that Google would be able to match the ads according to the theme?
I figured you’d do a few feature articles to go with each design. Bring in a little search engine traffic looking for holiday content.

Ah yes, that makes a whole lot of sense. We shall see whether I get the chance to go that route. Thanks Gennaro.
This is extremely cool. You’re site can be as fresh as the easter eggs or fall leaves. Very interesting. You have got to love flexability, but the pink is blowing my mind!

I hope it’s blowing you mind in a good way. I’m not a fan of pink myself, but it seems to fit the occasion. Then again I reckon Pink the singer is pretty hot. If you see this Pink I’m an Aussie fan of yours.
Actually Sire, yellow and green works just as well as pink for Easter, based on my memories.
Twitter: AussieSire
Cool, I’ll leave it as pink for now as the contrast tends to grow on you after awhile.
WOW!!
I had a bit of time today and thought i would stop in to see what you were up to. Little did I know you had gone PINK! Go ahead and say it is for Easter, we know. ;)
Actually Cait & I have all the P!nk CD’s. I think she would love you Sire. You could be in a video with her.
I think it makes it fun to change your background a bit.
@Mitch,
I will keep an eye out for anyone needing a writer and send them your way. I’ll try to weed out the cheap-o’s and the wack-o’s.
Happy Easter to you all!

Hey wouldn’t that be something, me an Pink in a video together. Who knows she may see my video one day and be so taken up by it that she’d ask we do one together
Happy Easter!
I wasn’t able to see the wallpaper/background you laid but as far as I can think (based on their comments), that is a really good color combination.

Actually, it was a picture of pastel colored Easter eggs. Looked pretty good if I do say so myself.
For how long you have uploaded it? It doesnt affect any blogging stats of yours? (sorry for that noob question).

I adjusted the theme just for the Easter period and no it did no affect any stats as it was still the essential theme.
