I think that I’ve finally succeeded in generally having the ‘look’ that I want for this blog. I worked for days to figure out how to produce a ‘rotating header image’. Having been a programmer for many years, I can certainly understand why object orientated software with unit testing is now being produced rather than the old procedural software. WordPress PHP code is like spaghetti — very hard to follow and frequently problematic if one makes changes to the WordPress or theme code.
So, after pulling out my hair for several days, I purchased the updated theme and modified it to my liking, so I now have almost everything that I want.
Now I can concentrate on more photos of Ecuador and posts which describe what it is like living here. I keep meeting more and more expats which are moving here both because of the political/financial situation in the USA and the extremely moderate weather here, year around.
Dear Chris, hope you are doing well every day. Just a note that I was attempting to have a look the “Cuenca” walk slideshow but the photos do not appear. I had thought it was due to the fact I use Opera as my main browser and some webpages do not function fully, but it does not work in Explorer either. Well, that is just to let you know, I know it will be fixed by YOU. Funny, I just looked up at what Cuenca means in English as it is a word somewhat familiar to me since there is a bus company of the name “Cuenca” operating in the region where I used to live in Mexico. Well, “Cuenca” is a “basin” or “mining area”. Well, since the Cuenca buses operate in a low-land (tropical, humid) area along the Papaloapan river (in the state of Veracruz) it must be that they are named so because of the basin of the river Papaloapan. And I bet that “your” Cuenca is (or was) the latter – a mining area! Cuenca is a nice word, indeed, or at least I like it.

Cuenca coach: you can spot it a little past the half of this page scrolling downwards – it is silver with purple stripes (there are dozens of Mexico’s buses…): http://occbus.wordpress.com/autobuses-ado/
