Derelict and Neglect - WPDesigner.com
My favourite Wordpress design website, wpdesigner.com, has fallen into ruins. After the previous site owner, Small Potato, sold it to a Pawel Ciszewski, the new owner proceeded to do absolutely nothing to upkeep the blog. As anyone who uses Wordpress as a blogging platform can attest to, leaving your site alone for more than 2 weeks is a disastrous move — the accumulated spam comments in the links and unsoothed frustrated comments left by ignored loyal visitors will soon cause the pages to be barely tolerable.
Already, when I went to the site today, the main comment page was cluttered by skirmishes between frequent visitors, some of whom were posting by masquerading as the new owner (it’s easy to tell because the neglected state of the site shows that the administrator is not even active on the website).
Frankly, it’s a pity that such a good resource on Wordpress theme designing is being abandoned just like that. I made this blog’s current design after following the tutorials on WPDesigner (then still run by Small Potato). I believe that site would have gone even further if he had decided to stay on; plus I would be able to read more tutorials for free! Busy me can’t find the time to go around Google hunting for another similar site!
Oh well, stuff on the Internet come and go all the time; the burst bubble of 2000 remains very clear in my mind. In fact, for all you know, SgBlogging could simply just disappear into the night one day! (Mwahahahaha!) So, any bribe offers?
