How do I love this post, let me count the three ways. I fooled around some of the themes, thinking I needed a change. What I really needed was more tweaking. This post saved me mucho time messing around. A big 'Thank You' to the Word Press posse. Nothing makes a Winnipegger's heart sing like … Continue reading

A Rant in Silver, Python-Print Pants
