The guts of my own custom theme are done. The next step is to make it pretty.

In the meantime, I’ll be using this theme, by Chris Pearson. Neoclassical is neat, clean, and supports the Open Education Project.

So in addition to being a smart theme, it gets me in my charitable spot. I love a good cause, and helping one at the same time I help my business is great.

Also, I’ll be doing an article soon on the CSS, XHTML & WP designers whose work has been educational, inspirational, and motivational to my own development in geeking. Just as a thank you.

It’s like “Breaking Bread” but for geeks.

So, while in my morning prep for all the stuff I want to get done today - things like taking a teleclass for continuing education credits for my Coaching, and writing several newsletter articles, I looked at my iGoogle home page and saw an interesting snippet by Chris G about affiliate marketing. I clicked, read, and scrolled down for other reads by one of my favorite bloggers.

I clicked on one about getting your site out of Google’s supplemental index. Fabulous read, fabulous tip, with a snippet of code to try.

Highlight. Copy. Login. Select header. Paste. Save. Done.

Or so I thought.

A half hour of Parse errors, troubleshooting, gritting my teeth, and trying to fix my blog later, I gave up and went to the original code that CG tweaked. I clicked through to Ogletree.

Almost a year ago, now, Ogletree posted the awesome snippet of code that should work to let Google’s bots not see you as plagiarizing yourself with duplicate content.

Highlight. Copy. Login. Select header. Paste. Save. Done.

And it works.

What I love about the bloggosphere - geeks from all over the world can network and help each other out and have a conversation in a language that is foreign to many and international to some.
