My mailbox is bulging with letters from recent and occasional visitors worried that they may have missed some WordPress themes in the recent blitzkrieg of posts during the ongoing and exciting Theme rotation policy.

Worry ye not. I am meticulously capturing screen dumps of each theme in a Flickr photoset so the poll will be absolutely fair and equitable (and Regulus will win).

The current theme is Banana Smoothie. I wonder if coffee enthusiast and cocktail maker, Jon Emmons, might be voting for this one.

1. Describing your state of mind. I really dont care whether you are happy, sad, somewhere in between or suicidal because your girlfriend dumped you.

2. Describing your state of health. I really don't want to read about your flu like symptoms, your hangover, your runny nose or your migraine headache. Otherwise you will give me one.

3. Telling me what music you are listening to. You like your music. I like my music. We may share some common interests but it really doesn't matter.

4. Playing me your music. It is more likely that we won't share musical tastes so please don't force your music onto me. Particularly, if it is your own work with your mates.

5. Crazy, colourful Flash animations. I may have a headache too. This may make it worse.

6. Dull, boring tedious lists of (del.icio.us) links. At least, annotate them with why they are interesting to you.

7. Pleading and begging for 'Comments' by asking a question at the end of the article. For example, 'So what you all think about Google Operating System ?' or 'So what 4 blogging tools would you pack up and take to a desert island ?'.

Apologies to all you Oracle Bloggers.

Excessive traffic levels to my new Web journal on Blogger appears to have breached the 'tipping point' and tipped it right over the edge.

Blogger is unavailable (again). Two nights running. Hmm.
