It’s that time of the year again… Garlic Festival 2012. This event raises a lot of questions for me. Because of the nature of this post, a lot of people will probably agree or disagree/hate my opinion.
What is wrong with the Garlic Festival? Well, I think it hides the true reason why we eat. As humans we need to eat to survive. Eating should be meant for survival. Events such as the Garlic Festival promote social eating. This is probably why people have a difficult time identifying the times they …

I just recently registered to take part in the famous WordPress Convention called WordCamp that is taking place on August 4, 2012 in San Francisco. I’m pretty stoked about this event and decided to share one of my many experiences with WordPress. In this article, I’ll be writing about what plug-ins you can use to make your free WordPress theme look more like a premium theme.
Premium WordPress themes are themes that you pay for. These themes have been designed to reduce the amount of work that you or a designer …

Recently I got a free day pass to workout at a local gym. I got some of the funniest stares while I was there.
 
When I was greeted, the staff at the gym wanted to do a brief interview. GS stands for the person asking me questions.
 
GS: How did you hear about us?
Me: I eat at Bob’s Giant Burgers all the time and I see your gym from across the parking lot.
GS: (Confused look) Okay…
 
GS: When was the last time you have been to the gym?
Me: About 9 or 10 years …

Here is one of my most sinful cakes ever made. As usual, eating my cakes while on a diet will lead to weight loss failure.
 
This is a special cake made for father’s day and my father’s birthday. Coincidentally, these days are the same day this year. Before I continue, I feel the need to give a shout out to my father. As much as he can make me angry, I’m truly grateful for the things he has done for me. He has done a lot for me. If he did …

I officially earned my Insanity t-shirt in November. That was one of the best things I have ever received in the mail. The other best thing I received was my e85 conversion kit. That is a whole other story.
 
Anyway, I was growing tired of wearing the same Insanity t-shirt to workout in. I like the Insanity shirt because simply wearing it motivates me to work harder during a workout. I also got bored of wearing a gray shirt.
 
My solution… I made my own Insanity shirt. I worked real hard to …

It has been a while since I had a real birthday party. The past two birthdays that passed were great, but there were a couple of problems. First, the past two birthday celebrations were held at a restaurant. What is so bad about a restaurant? Well, it is not the most private place, they cost a lot of money, we have to leave some kind of a tip for good or bad service, and finding a parking spot. I actually liked the restaurants that we went to for my last …

If you haven’t already guessed, my website is powered by WordPress.
WordPress is a well known tool for blogging and content management. It is also a tool that can shorten the time required for website development and make it easier for the less technically endowed people to create a unique website. There are thousands of themes available for download and this does not include themes that others create for themselves. Different plug-ins are also available for download that can enhance the functionality of your website.
The WordPress platform has always been synonymous …

How many of you have the following problem:
 
A very well designed website powered by WordPress. Added the Featured Content Gallery to make your free theme look like it was paid for. WordPress told you to update to 3.3.1. Successful upgrade. Uh-oh… Your Featured Content Gallery does not work anymore.
 
Not all hope is lost. I experienced this myself and made a solution. Well, I did not really “make” a solution. I just knew where to click.
 
For the featured content gallery, you need “custom fields” for the plug-in to work …
