First I would like to send out a HUGE Thank You to Courtney from Contests 4 Moms and A Mom Speaks. When I sent out a request for help for my blog theme, Courtney came through for me with flying colors and added the additional sidebar that I really wanted.

I first came across Courtney’s Contests 4 Moms site while browsing through blogs on Entrecard, and have since added her in as one of my favorites - in fact, it’s a site I visit as often as I can.  She’s got some amazing contests posted, and updates them on a regular basis.

Here are some of her latest additions:

• Preserve Toothbrush
• Balboa Adjustable Sling and Flexible Knit Serene Sling
• Bouquet of Cookies

And many more…

Additionally, Courtney has another beautiful blog - A Mom Speaks.. Christian.  Wife.  Mom.  A Christian, a wife, and stay at mom to two children (her son is 3, and her daughter is 1).  Courtney enjoys cooking, reading, movies, photography, scrapbooking, keeping up with technology, and most of all spending time with her kids and family.  Through A Mom Speaks, Courtney lets us know what God is doing in their lives, and how He is blessing them each and every day.

Thanks again for your help Courtney, and I’m truly glad to have met you in this vast world otherwise known as the internet lol

I’m hoping that someone in my blogosphere can assist me with some changes to this blog theme.  It’s the sidebar especially..

What I’d like to do is to have a 1 column sidebar underneath the 2 column sidebar - preferably widget ready.  I’ve been playing around with the sidebar.php but so far nothing I’ve done has put an additional sidebar underneath.  It ends up outside the theme on the right side.  I’m figuring it’s a div thing, but so far I’m stuck as to get it working the way I’d like.

So, if there are any themers out there that would be so kind as to help me out, I’d love to hear from you!

In the meantime, during my dropping today, I came across a fabulous site that has terrific tutorials on creating your own WordPress theme.  Check out CK Marketing’s tutorials.   I haven’t attempted to create my own WP theme yet, though I may just give it a go and see what I can come up with :)  Perhaps after going through it and getting more familiar with the layouts I can figure out how to modify my Wahm Cafe theme to do what I want.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Do you have more than one website or blog that you’d like to cross promote? Or perhaps one of your colleagues has an absolutely fantastic blog, and you would like to put some of their content on your own site. There is now a truly fantastic (and easy) way to do just that - actually, there are a few ways, depending on what your blog is made of.

I’m in shock! I discovered earlier tonight that my post for the Dec. 17/07 Bloggers Unite challenge placed in the top 20 blog posts, out of hundreds of posts! I was a little slow to realize the winners had been announced lol - that happened back on January 2nd, but hey, I know it now so I’m doing the Happy Dance

Apparently those that placed between 8th & 17th, which is where my post came in, have one an ad in USA Today. I’m not sure if they’ll just be listing the winners with links to our blogs or what, but I’ve got an inquiry in and as soon as I hear anything you’ll be the first to know!

This is so cool!
