I would just like to take a minute to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year!
My uncle forwarded me this email, which I found to be very powerful and moving. It was written by Jeff Giles who is a member of the 30th Na val Construction Regiment stationed in Al Taqqadum, Iraq.
All of the professional athletes knew that it took about 5 days to finish the race. In order to compete, one had to run about 18 hours a day and sleep the remaining 6 hours. The thing is, Cliff Young didn’t know that!
As you can probably tell (or as your can’t), I have installed a new theme onto mattpavia.com. SmashingMagazine had an article about it a couple months back, so I decided to give it a try. A big thanks goes to FTL Wordpress Themes for creating this theme!
I found this little trick a while ago which alternates the style of your wordpress comments. I’m basing this tip off of the default wordpress comments.php file, but it shouldn’t be too different for any other theme. The default comments.php file actually comes with a built in solution for alternating comment styles, but I was never fond of their way of doing it, so I looked for a different way.
As you can probably tell, I purchased a new domain. I felt that mattfp.net was too hard to remember and was a bit formal, so I purchased mattpavia.com which hopfully is easier to remember and will motivate me to update this site more often. Feel free to contact me with questions/comments about the site.
