I must apologize for not posting as much as I would like lately. I have been tied up with the Holidays (as I am sure you all have been) and recreating the new look for my blog. After much debate, I finally decided on a design.  Let me tell you, trying to find just the right one is a lot of work!  I love Wordpress and how easy it is to customize. I have learned so much about coding and design even though I am new to it. I went with the Mimbo theme by Darren Hoyt, which I found to be extremely easy and fun to work with.

It has been a challenge trying to get everything to work right with the plugins. I have found some great plugins which I will share in a later post. The WP community has so many talented people working to design such great plugins and themes, it is wonderful. I am glad I moved my blog over from Blogger.

I have added two new sections to the blog, an advertising and guest section. I am really excited about running a contest for free advertising and a cash prize in the New Year. I will need to work out the details for the contest rules and I plan to do a contest within the next week or two. Stay tuned and be sure to subscribe!

We have decided to open up ShopLikeUs for other shoppers to share their experiences with products or merchants and to be part of our blog. I want to present different flavors of writers for ShopLikeUs readers, so your not always reading my views and opinions. If you like to learn more please visit the guest section for details.

I hope you enjoy the new look and I would love to read your thoughts and opinions, either good or bad! I would like to also give a personal thanks to my wife who has heard my whining over the last couple weeks while I starting working on the design.

How shocking would that be. I think I would buy a ticket to see that fight. I had to blog about this, because I just can’t believe this would happen, too funny.

Anyone know of any companies fighting in public?

The transition was pretty easy and I found WordPress to be a pleasure to work with. The tough part was finding the right theme, and then testing it to make sure  that it worked fine. Also trying to find the time to learn PHP was difficult, however the challenge was great and I enjoyed it. 

I found a lot of good plug-ins and themes from various web sites that helped with the transition. I will list what I have used over the next couple days. If anyone has questions about the theme that I used feel free to contact me or post a message and let me know what you think!

Happy Blogging!

David & Tonya

One of my favorite places to visit. This article is about the new president of Yahoo, Susan L. Decker. I have to admire her for taking this role. She has a lot of pressure to preform and being a fellow stock holder in Yahoo… I hope she can deliver! I have always enjoyed using Yahoo over the years I think Yahoo is a really good company. It is ludicrous to believe she can turn Yahoo into Google! Google is just out of this world when comes to investing in its 400+ stock share. Long live Yahoo!

Apparently even Apple’s co-founder waited in line in San Francisco {read more…}. I have to admit, the user interface is attractive, and the phone is one sexy piece of gadget, I wonder if it can live up to the hype. Didn’t wait? Don’t worry…apple’s site reports that phones are still available in stores, in fact it is available in all stores in my area! To check iphone availability in stores near you click here…
