Happy New Year, everyone!

I am so shocked with the recent tragedy in South Asia – the earthquake and the tsumanis. I had nightmares before about tsunamis invading a beach I was at, but these people faced the real thing, a real life nightmare. So many lives lost, so many people suffering the loss of their loved ones… What a tragedy!

Immagine what it must be like to face a giant wave coming towards you. This is the kind of thing people make movies about, it must be incredibly scary, I feel so sorry for these people and their families…

update: I have a friend who´s spending her holidays in India with her husband. We haven´t heard anything from them yet, I´m aprehensive, but I don´t think they were at the affected areas at the time.

People already using our Fleur-de-Lys WordPress theme (that I know of, so far):

This is my first Christmas without my granny, I miss her…

Sadish an I released Fleur Blue Version on monday. Here´s a screenshot of what it looks like. It´s available for download here. I finished the design of the next theme, called Acqua and now Sadish is working on this one. Stay tuned. :-)

The strangest thing happened to me tonight: I had a lucid dream inside a regular dream! I dreamed that I was having a lucid dream, I mean, in my regular dream I went to bed, fell asleep, started dreaming and realized it was a drem. Woke up (inside my dream) and told people that I had a lucid dream! How odd!!!

Ladies and gentleman, I present you “Fleus-de-Lys”, the newest WordPress Theme from WPThemes.info. This theme was developed by me (design) and Sadish (coding) and is available for download at:

My thanks to Sadish, who brings wonderful themes to the WP community, for his excellent work!

Go ahead and download it, it free. We will release other color schemes for this theme and there´s another (new) layout in the oven to be released soon.

I hope you like it. :-)

In the last couple of days I have been working with Sadish on a new WP Theme that will probably be released tomorrow.

This is the perfect partnership: I design, he codes. And he´s brilliant at coding, while my css and php skills are very limited. I know css, but I don´t know how to code a tableless layout.

I´m very happy with this theme and also looking forward to making some more. I have a folder full of unused templates that I never cared to code and perhaps some of them can be put into use. Being able to somehow give something back to the WP community feels really good.

Sadish, thank you for your wonderful (and fast!) work.

I´ll post the download link for this new theme as soon as it´s officially released.

My husband bought me the “Elton John Greatest Hits – Live at Madison Square Garden“. Yes, I´m an Elton John fan!

The duet he sings with Billy Joel (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road) is absolutely perfect! Same goes to the duet with Ronan Keating (”Your Song”, my all time Elton John favourite!), who has a beautiful crystal clear voice!

My husband is not particularly fond of Elton John´s songs, but the other day I was watching the DVD and he said: “I have to admit that this song is definitely wonderful (referring to “Your Song”). If feels like time stops and nothing else matters, it just fills the room.”

I agree… This is the one song I stop to listen everytime I get the chance and it bugs the hell out of me if people start talking while it´s on. Just listen for crying out loud! It´s a piece of musical art…

I might buy some more of his DVDs. Yeah…
