A few days ago I have switched the theme of this blog from freicurv to WP-Polaroid and since then the visits on my blog (not very many visitors anyway) went down to zero yesterday.

I hope this switch to a new theme did not impact my search engine results that much and it is just a temporary issue. Especially for the Icybox 4220 I had quite good positions.

UPDATE I: Of course the theme has an impact on the visits, at least if you have the google analytics code hard coded into your theme… I guess the problem was, that I did not have the Google Analytics tracking code on the page anymore. We will see what tomorrow brings.

UPDATE II: The installation of the Wordpress Plugin for Google Analytics didn’t help either. There is something wrong with that WP-Polaroid theme when it comes to web analytics. None of the tools that I was testing was working anymore, so I switched back to freicurv for now. It’s too late to figure out what is wrong with the theme.

Well, yesterday someone had hacked my blog. I was a little bit behind with updating, but I thought I’d wait for the new version, Wordpress 2.5.

Anyway, as my blog wasn’t working any more after this attack, I had to reinstall everything, uploaded my back-ups, etc. And today the guys at Wordpress.org release the new version. Basically 2 days too late!

I guess I will wait a few days to install Wordpress 2.5. I can’t be bothered to do the same stuff again tonight.

First I will install all the important plug-ins. I give them a few weeks to fix the little problems that might appear in the next few days.

I am currently looking for a desktop blogging software for Linux. The known ones like BloGtk, Drivel or the Gnome tool could not really convince me much.
