The template tweaks are nearly complete. Here are some of the changes I made:
Changed the way links are handled under the “Browse” sidebar. Height is no longer defined as this caused text overflow from long subjects. Removed background image, added dashed line between links, changing spacing.
Fixed validation errors caused by a plugin and “target” on [...]

I’ve changed the site theme to Tomodachi. It’s going to take some tweaking (links are sized incorrectly) but I like it. I’ll be updating a lot of things around the site, including the static pages, plugins, and more.
I’m going to shift some of my posts to cover my observations and ideas on web development, design, hosting, and related topics. I already have some topic ideas, such as “What To Look For In A Web Developer / Designer.”

That’s right my friends, a new post after a year and 3 months of nothing. Recent ideas rekindled my interest in this site. As I’m heading off to the gym in a few minutes I don’t have time for a major update, but here are a few high points that occurred during my off time:
I’ve updated the site’s software to the latest version of WordPress and Gallery2. This broke the old skin. It was time to change it anyway. For now I’ll be sticking with a default skin until I have time to find and customize one that I like.

I decided to switch to a new, cheaper server. I’m now up and running on the new VPS. I wrote a new post on the old server by accident and it didn’t get moved over 
I’ll try to summarize what has been going on with me.
I’ve been participating in a 12 week fitness competition, Body For Life. I’ve been keeping a daily log on the bodybuilding.com forum. The log can be found here: http://workout.thedanexperiment.com
I have a few things to post about in the blog so watch for updates soon! I promise!

One trading strategy I wholeheartedly believe in is CANSLIM. I’m not going to go into details about the method, you can read about it at the link provided and all over the web. It’s a fundamentals based strategy that relies on great earnings and great companies. When I was researching CANSLIM months ago I stumbled onto Pitbull Investor. I used their free trial with demo trading and had decent results, somewhere around 5% in one month. I finally ordered the system a few weeks ago. It’s basicly a simplified version of CANSLIM with the addition of the cup and handle chart pattern. Every week their automated system publishes a list of stocks that fit their guidelines. The past few weeks have created very small lists and none of the companies jumped out at me. Then this weekend the new list was longer. I found two stocks that interested me, WIT and MEOH. Both are fundamentally great companies but WIT is in a cup and handle chart pattern. They were also scheduled to release earnings today. I used the rest of my cash account to buy WIT yesterday at $16.96. Today they beat the predicted EPS of $0.10 by $0.02, pushing the stock up over 4% to $17.84 as of right now. I’ll be holding this stock until it reaches the target of $20.62, it goes sideways, or I find a new stock that I feel has better potential.
In the process of restarting this site I’ll be changing the “About Me” section. For now I’ll say I’m a web developer, a former criminal, a lover of fast cars, and a fitness fanatic.
