Christmas WordPress Theme For Free Download | Freebies | Smashing Magazine

A big thanks to the folks at Smashing Magazine and InstantShift for offering a free Christmas theme. The festive mood of the theme motivated me to embark on a web site conversion over the weekend. I had been meaning to switch our farm web site, www.legacyfarmltd.com, from phpWebsite to WordPress for several months but I always found a reason to not work on it. Installing WordPress 2.7 and the Christmas theme was almost effortless compared to the process of duplicating old posts and pages. It was nice that they included the PSD for the logo. I cranked up my portable copy of GIMP and after a few minutes of re-learning GIMP/PhotoShop I had a custom logo that fit the Christmas theme. Although I will have to change the theme in the next few weeks soon since Christmas is over, the theme layout and fonts look like a good base to work from.

Oops! Could not start error

I had not looked or touched my “dogfood” server in a long time. It appeared to be happily doing it’s thing. Appearances can be deceiving. I found that my scheduled jobs were not running according to the schedule. I had about a dozen jobs with the “Could not start error” message. What a mess! I am not sure how this happened but the fix is easy. Just enter the password again!
