I’m not sure how many of you have noticed this, but the CNN website seems to be notorious for “accidental” juxtaposition jokes. Try this simple exercise if you don’t believe me:

Go to CNN.com and look at the two main images + their accompanying headlines/captions. With a bit of imagination, you can definitely see some humor in their somewhat-absurdly-juxtaposed-captions…all you need to do is add one of your own (this is actually optional) and voila, instant laughingstock!

To be frank, I’ve sorta given up on being able to reteach myself how to code a WP theme from scratch – properly – just because of the niggle that is my life. However, having discovered that there’s this pretty new malarkey called “Child Themes”, I think I just might give it a go…but not till I consolidate what’s been happening with my life so far, first!

Indeed, it’s surprising how much has happened with my life, in the span of just under two months (be warned, the next part of my blog post is long – making up for the drought, methinks? xD): Read the rest of this entry »

Just a quickie post because stuff’s hectic at the moment despite it being half-term and awesomely fun. Don’t worry, I’ll elaborate on that in the next post…
