So yeah, I found a few issues with the new theme design. Most notably is my idiotic mistake of forgetting to pull my stylesheets to run my example code and putting it into this theme. Whoops. So now I look like a dork, because all of my examples don't function. I swear, people - they do. I just forgot to bring in the stylesheets that make them work when I put up this new theme. I'll be doing that in a little bit so everything functions again! In other news, a "bug" has bitten me. Over the last year (since i've released the "orange Crush" theme) I've had some serious fun customizing WordPress and creating unique designs for all kinds of clients. I'm also working on my business site's new design (man, I hope to get that up soon!) but I've learned all kinds of cool tricks and neat things that make me want to do a new theme to release.

Well, I had a recent upgrade of my Orange Crush theme, and a recent upgrade of my PHP forms - and it's been asked by quite a few people that I change my theme - so here it is! I'm still ironing out a few kinks here and there - apparently "the excerpt reloaded" plugin doesn't work well with WordPress 2.2.3 (I upgraded my WP installation as well), and my contact form is a bit screwy at the moment. It still works - it just looks really gross. Those are really the only two major things I've found that are totally whacked. Oh yes, and I still need to browser-check it - right now it's only been checked ...

Hello all! I needed to post really quickly for you - this is important! If you have used my contact forms script prior to this moment right now (September 20, 2007 at 9:52am EST), then you need to upgrade. I have removed/disabled downloads to my "complex" and "simple" zipped file outputs. They were old anyway, and needed to go. I do have a replacement "automated" script to generate the simple form for you. (If you need something more complex, feel free to contact me about it, and I'll send it to you.) So, the deal is, an XSS vulnerability was discovered in my script. If you don't know what XSS is (I didn't!), in layman's terms: someone can enter an actual script into any of the input fields on the form, and when they click "submit" said nastiness *will* run. This is a HUGE vulnerability. So this update is no joke. If you're using my forms, you MUST apply the fix, or you're compromising your server, and your host will hate you forever.

NOTE: There's been a security vulnerability discovered in my forms. It has now been taken care of. If you've used my forms prior to September 20, 2007, then you *must* upgrade. Please read this post for directions on how to fix. Long time, no speak. Been working like a mad hatter (man, I must be working hard, because that adage makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.) I'm letting you know that between projects (which seriously - I'm squeezing!) I'm trying to get a new design for this site out. I've had a lot of complaints about this one. I'll still say I like the red, though...but I digress ;) There's other issues that truly are a pain in the butt, and although I knew about them before I put this one up, I didn't think they'd be that bad. Truly. Anyway, that aside, I have a new prezzie for you all. It's actually something I've had finished for quite some time now, but I've only allowed a certain group of people use it for the last few months. Mainly because I needed testers for it, but also because this group is kick-ass and has helped me majorly in almost everything I do. So I wanted to give them the goodies all to themselves for a while. But now, I figured it's time I let the rest of you in on it.
