You have probably noticed that I am sporting a new theme on Projects Possible.  This theme – called Options – by Justin Tadlock is loaded with some great features and yet it is quite simple to setup, configure and run.  Some key things that I really like: The Search Bar located in the Navigation Bar [...]

Projects Possible is a pretty young blog.  We don’t have high Google rankings and we don’t get thousands and thousands of hits per day (at least not yet) but we certainly seem to get a fair share of comment spam.  These are the spammers that want to post comments to my valid postings to get [...]
