Amna and Dima,
I thought TED conferences are closed :-/ .

Good luck with the themes. Remember not to go crazy about them, what is important is the content ;-) .

@Amna: I am still using an older version of Wordpress for ThinkMacro and I would like to update that – this is the infrastructure update. And no, I’ve never been to the actual TED, but I eyed the fellowship they offer. There is a deadline coming up for the Asian one (I think), you may want to check it out.

@Dori: It is indeed a cool place. I will try to blog more and regardless would love to hear how things are going on your end.

Hi,

I didn’t know that you are at the Berkman Center, that’s so cool!
Please write more about what you are doing at the Internet and Democracy project, I would love to hear\ read more about it.

Enjoy your summer!

Thanks for adding me to Cooking travels. I am posting a recipe very soon.
Dima, Wordpress is a great platform for blogs. I just ask because you wrote that you were thinking about changes in terms of infrastructure as well.

Guy and Dima, have you ever been to actual conferences of TED? I wanted to apply for fellowship 2009 but couldn’t due to some problems here.

Thank you, guys!
I will check out the links and will ad you, Amna, to Cooking Travels.
Also, i was thinking to stick to Wordpress here, as this is primarily a blog and I don’t feel the need for a more elaborate CMS. Am I wrong?

Truly its nice to hear form you, time is a great thing to have. I know you like TED, and since you mentioned foods, you might like to watch this (if you didn't already).

Here are a few sites that offer Wordpress themes:

1. http://topwpthemes.com/
2. http://www.templatesbrowser.com/wordpress-themes/

I have always found these theme websites the best so far and they can be modified as well to suit the needs. Do let me know if you need help in modification. Also, are you going to stick with Wordpress as your website’s platform or are you thinking about using a CMS?

And, finally, we have the Cooking blog. I remember you were thinking about it in Bangkok. Nice work. I would love to contribute with some recipes.
