Fun trying WordPress plugins

For those new to self-hosted WordPress sites, plugins are a fun opportunity  to extend the functionality of WordPress. I have really enjoyed the past week trying new plugins. It gives you some insight into many popular blogs and how they achieve the look they do.

I think the most bang for the back is modifying the CSS. With an extension called Firebug you don’t even have to be a CSS expert to get a very interesting look. I did this on the WordPress.com the first revision of this site. It was fun. I used to make things as a kid, and so that’s part of the reason that Myth-busters is so interesting to me. You get an idea of how to make big toys. Perhaps having your own Mythbusters team is the next wealth patronage that will happen.

There are people who seem to want to make, and creatively make things that have never been. I don’t always keep the things that I made, (normally I eat them). I never understood people who didn’t want to make anything. To me, making things is part of living. We make our lives, our relationships or choices. To have something give us something back seems to be a very rewarding goal.
