Technorati’s Ultimatum: Upgrade WordPress to 2.5 Now or Your Blog Will NOT Be Indexed

Blogging May Not Be Deadly, But It Has a Whole Sweatshop of Other Problems
It’s currently the hottest story at TechMeme. The New York Times reports that “In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop“. Drop dead, that is. They consider professional blogging a “digital-era sweatshop”, referring to a factory where its workers are sorely underpaid and unprotected.
But I have to say that NYT is going somewhere with its term, sweatshop.
When Blogs Become Unacknowledged Mainstream Media Sources
Blogs being scraped and plagiarized by other blogs is one thing, but what do you do about the beast that is mainstream media? It’s very disappointing for this type of thing to happen, since television and newspaper companies often consider themselves far more legitimate and reputable than anything that comes from the Internet.
Yet we are experiencing an emerging culture of taking things without asking permission, much less giving proper attribution.

Where are these people’s ethics?

The requested theme does not exist
I have been longing to change my wordpress theme for a while now but could not find an inspiring theme to modify. For the longest time I could not decide what I really wanted for a theme… light? dark? two-column? three-column? I regularly searched Weblog Tools Collection and Wordpress Theme Viewer and other blog sites that offer wordpress themes but nothing caught my fancy.
Then I chanced upon the dark theme of Vikiworks Studio and I knew I wanted to change from my bright, white theme to a darker one. So I downloaded his Resurrection theme and started to customize it for my blog. But, it was too challenging to customize Resurrection and I really did not want to just use the default images and style the theme had. I also was a bit more impatient now to get a new theme up and loaded.
