Joy & Poison
Why do we humans believe that by hating others they will be filled with our poison – by being loved by others we will be filled with joy? In my (admittedly) young life it has only been by loving that I am filled with love – and no object of my hate has ever been worse affected than myself.

My Blog’s New Look – Making A Child Theme of Twenty Ten
I realized after a recent upgrade to WordPress 3.0 and after changing my blog’s address that I was tired of my old blog’s look. I was really impressed with the new default theme for 3.0: Twenty Ten. It’s simple, aesthetically pleasing, and supports all the new features of 3.0.
Since my new job requires me to learn a lot of PHP and HTML I’ve used some of my new skills in developing a child theme for Twenty Ten. Child themes are great! They allow you to basically extend and customize an existing theme in a way that won’t break if the theme gets an update.

Changing My WordPress Blog URL and Using Lighttpd to Redirect
My blog’s old domain, law-family.org and bradford.law-family.org, are set to expire in November. The reason I initially registered the law-family.org domain was to create a family website. My family
traditionally has communicated by mass email and reply-all conversations and I thought it would help to give them something different. They rarely used it however so I decided to simply focus on my own blog, that’s why it’s now theblawblog.com. Since I have several articles that get regular hits from search engines, I worried that my articles wouldn’t be very visible. I decided to try writing up some redirect rules for my old domain in the lighttpd config file so that anyone going to my old blog links would be redirected to their new addresses.

Goodbye Mah Negros (Island), Philippines
This is an entry in my Philippines 2010 travel diary. This travel diary is written as one, so it may be long winded at times and include references to things that are not general knowledge. Thanks for reading!
Last Thursday I finally left Bacolod, Negros for San Enrique. I first stopped off at the Carriedo family and had a nice time seeing Pinky, Opie, Bambie, and Tisay again. They even fed me some delicious adobo. After that I stopped off at the houses of a couple friends in San Enrique.
