Welcome to the blog of JoshB!

You’ve probably seen the new design right on my blog (here). We’ll I changed the theme a while ago.

How did I do it? First I tried creating my own theme from cratch, got all of the files completed but just couldn’t get the Style template to work right! So, heres what I did:

• Took the Daily Diary from WPElegantThemes.
• Modified it to the files that I had already created, keeping the theme how I wanted.
• Added it to the site, made some final touches.
• And Done!

So, Yes - I did attempt to create a theme from scratch and that failed! Instead, I went with the backup plan. Jeff, I did still win - I had a new design online before you did.

Thanks for reading, I’ve got another post coming at you in about two (2) hours.. See ya then!

Hey Guys -

I know you haven’t seen much of anything from me lately, I’ve been super busy! Here is a quick overview of what has been going on:

1. Been busy with 2 projects and TalkShoe Support. First project, a Project that me and a few other friends are working on for this school year and we had to have a few meetings and figure some stuff out! The other project being a website for my dad, he and a place he works as a financial secretary wanted me to be the lead web administrator and developer! No, I do not get paid.. I think I get enough for 14 from TalkShoe, Thanks Dave!

2. Just haven’t had the time to update my blog or twitter and other social places.

3. Getting ready to go back to school, next Wednesday. Watch out for a TalkShoe, support update.

In reply to Jeff Chandler’s comment on a post a little bit back, I will explain in a post later.. How I did this theme and what resources were used.

That’s it for now, I’ll update you all in a few.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer, more like fall here.. Who knew you would have 55 - 60 degree weather in mid-August. Last night was quite an adventure here in Albion.

Last night, maybe at 9:30 I started to hear running.. Well, that was my parents almost running into the window. We originally thought that someone was trying to break into the house, but instead it was someone that spun off the road and went flying through the trees in our front yard and hitting a stump. Thank god everyone is okay. So, my Dad ran inside and said call ‘911′ and so I did.

5 minutes later, the Fire and Police bell go off. Maybe 2 minutes after that, the police and medics are here. But, since I do not live in the village of Albion, APD called the County Sheriffs in and soon after they got here they determined that it was a case for the New York State Police.

Later, they were able to finally get this person in to the ambulance and send him off to a Hospital.  Finally, they got the towing company here and they said we’ll wait till mornin’ to tow it.. Then everyone left. The truck is now gone.

All in all, last night was a crazy night. The first time I have seen 15 government issued vehicles (Police/Fire/Medics) in one road for one call.

NOTE: This was suppose to be released yesterday (8/11).

The community behind Jeffro2pt0 recently found out that Jeff is redesigning his blog. I posted a comment about wondering who would get the design done first, me or him. So far, I would guess I am winning.

But, who do you think will win? Jeff or Josh, drop a comment and let me know. Note: The blog design here should be up tomorrow night or monday morning at the latest.  I think you will like it, I do, so far.. I have been building it from scratch for the past 48 hours.

While Jeff hasn’t posted this yet, I think he should - there have been several IMs, @ twitter replies and in general comments going back and forth. Let me know who YOU think will win. Leave a comment and let me know.

Jeffro2pt0, Your going DOWN!

Hey All! Just got a chance to hop online and post a quick message to my blog subscribers and readers.

I’m sure you read the post from yesterday, It is painful to me, even though I do not feel it physically.  Although, that is an issue right now in my life, it is part of life! By the Way, She is getting better. Thanks for all of your Thoughts and Praires! I will share every one of them with her.

Last week I upgraded to 2.6 of Wordpress and never got around to letting all of you know. I’ll post a review about it later. So far, I love the Word Count.
