On Never Searching for Free WordPress Themes on Google....

This article is not brand, spanking new, but it's new to me. Note that the majority of these sites are not evil, exactly -- they are careless at best and at worst contain code that could open your machine up to exploitation -- or cause you to have hidden "backlinks" on your web site. The majority of the "safe" themes were old, and in need of major upgrading through apps or other changes.

And these were the top ten hits on Google the day the programmer grabbed and did her research piece. So -- in this case, "Free" can get you into a lot of trouble.

I won't be looking for WordPress Themes from these people.

New Judith Tarr and Irene Radford eBooks!

My life has been so crazed the past two months, I am woefully behind on mentioning great new releases at Book View Cafe. So I thought I would mention them grouped according to what your tastes in fantasy and science fiction reading might be. This post is about two fine historical fantasists, Judith Tarr and Irene Radford. With these series, you will get great characterization and multiple points of history, intersected with and woven with magic. You'll also see characters dealing with the mental maps of the world that the religions they have grown up with have given them -- living those maps, questioning those maps, changing those maps as their understanding of the world and of Spirit evolves.

( Not one, but two outstanding writers and books! )
