Is it worth the hassle
1.. Firtly, because blix add pages doesn’t appear to work with newer versions of wordpress,
I have used Page Link Manager by Garrett Murphey.
Not much of one for branching out, I am using his older version on this site, had to modify site code a little, can’t remember why now, Check this but it is a handy plugin. The plugin basically allows you to decide which pages show up in the site’s main navigation.
The site I am currently building will allow multiple users to log in and personally update a specific page.
I have for example a site showcasing the work of others.
To achieve the desired functionality I have created separate templates for each user, (see bottom of post A new page template) and they will be able to upload to that page by posting in a category specific to that page.
So I have set the site to show a static front page, and set posts to be rendered on a news page, excluding categories as necessary, using a snippet of php i found on an earlier search. Category template customization
This page will display posts only by the site admin, news and updates etc.
Now for the users who will upload profile I have created pages and will insert the php to call for specific category relevant to their work.
I Have been dabbling, making changes, and loosing site of overall objectivity; consequently things are a little diffuse cloud like in their structure.Tis the old one, need content and ideas..
Coming soon

and smashed the orbits of Phobos and Deimos.
In part 2 of building a model solar system. See part 1 here.
Phase 2. Will be adding the gear wheel for the earth and moon system, plus the Earth itself.
Unfortunately the moon snapped off in the construction stage.
Now how is this likely to effect our planet.
Apparently if the earth was suddenly without its moon, there would be significant problems associated with the planets water.
The moon effects the global altitude of the water, so if this was taken away, a lot of water would be redistributed around the poles.
The effect on the planets rotation would also be changed, the moons location, and gravitational attraction keeps the planet in a relatively stable orbit, no wobbles as such, and as consequence a fairly predictable seasonal climatic balance.
Without this stability life on this sphere would likely have struggled to build itself to the complexity we see today.
So on a lighter note, it’s only a model after all, i’ll get out the super glue and try to restore equilibrium.
Phobos and Deimos
Again in the construction when trying to place the pin on the bottom of mars onto the orbiting moons arm their relative position was changed when I was forced to bring out the hammer to bash the pin in.
I have no idea how this turn of events would effect the solar system as a whole, dynamic interactions and connections are one thing, but i’m thinking not much, considering removing our own moon would apparently not cause all the planets to plunge headlong into a fiery death as we all race towards the sun.
Fate of the solar system in my hands.

An evening out. San Antonio Ibiza.

They say cameras never lie, but this picture is definitely pulling the wool.

To use as base for your customized design, and why?
This site is using the blix theme by Sebastian Schmieg.
I chose this theme a couple of years ago for my blog, primarily because it had a contact form built right into the structure.
I still have some issues understanding all the php, but can splice my css and html in there reasonably fluently now, and have got good functionality with the aid of various plugins. I am fairly sure Sebastian would have kittens if he could see how I have butchered his original code, but hey, it’s all part of the process.
So what about you bloggers out there novice and pro alike.
Code from scratch, ahh or use on of the many available themes.
You only have to take a look at the zen garden to appreciate what can be done just by manipulating the css.
So if you feel inclined just drop a comment in the box below, I’d love to hear your views.

But check out the non-artificial ingredient
Cyanobacteria.. Sounds interesting right? Better known as blue-green algae, blue-green bacteria or Cyanophyta.
I also didn’t know that algae simply refers to any aquatic organism capable of photosynthesis. So now ya know.
cyanobacteria spirulina
spirulina
There are pills, concoctions, I shouldn’t be surprised
It gets stranger, or more interesting as you read.

The Cistercian Abbey of Stanlow Cheshire was moved to Whalley in 1296.
The church was built between 1330 and 1380.
