Things are a bit crazy in Palmer these days with the Alaska State Fair and Gov. Palin being chosen as John McCain’s running mate. They probably won’t settle down until after the November election (and perhaps not even then) but at least I’ve been reminded of why the newspaper industry is so much fun.

One of my Palin images from an interview last year with Anchorage Daily News reporter Tom Kizzia has been making the rounds. I know it appeared as the homepage lead on nytimes.com (albeit at 2 am East Coast Time) and in the Seattle Times. The VP candidate sitting on a bear pelt with a giant crab? What’s not to love?

The deeper I get into the “mimbo” WordPress theme the more likely it is that I’ll be able to make the template work for my personal site with ambitions. The sidebar still needs modification and I have yet to build the category blurbs but at least I have some pieces in place. And then there’s content to produce.

Of course, not having my images paths set up properly is a little frustrating….
