Feeling a little lost? Where’s your old daily common sense? It’s gone! I felt like it was time for a change and I was really sick of the old theme, so I changed it. I don’t know if you guys like it better, but I certainly do. It’s much more lightweight and clean and I’m giving more space to what’s really important: the content.
I also changed the logo a little bit as you can see, so it can fit with the new look. It’s much more sober and elegant and it’s a little something I could easily put on a t-shirt…hint, hint.
One new feature I really like is that this new theme now supports “Gravatar”. What the hell is Gravatar? You will notice in the comment section that next to your name a picture will appear. If you don’t have a gravatar account, the default gray picture will appear. If you want a custom picture to show on the page, simply head to Gravatar and upload your own! This little image will not only be valid for my blog, but also for every other blog you comment on that has this feature enabled! Isn’t great? Yep, I know.
OK, I won’t write a 3 pages post about the new look of the website, you’ll discover it on your own. There might be some issues with it so feel free to comment if you are having some difficulties! Time to go to bed now, I’ve worked on this little thing all night…

Nice clean design, really like it.
I like the new site setup very much Ben. Very clean and professional. Good Work.
Thanks a lot!
ben i need you help!
i came across this website and it is not that loony kind of websites…this one, even though it tries to sell a book, it happens to be very …scientific ..?? http://www.carlpetersononline.com/site/1515517/page/740676
could you have a look at it?
it caught my attention because:
1. polar ice meltdowns are mentioned, but not as a global warming cause (recalling your video about global warming)
2. mentions the 9/11 conspiracy
two topics that you have defended
Hi Julietta, I just had a really quick look and I really need to read it more attentively because that little page is packed with a lot of information. I need to double check/think about the validity of some of the arguments in there, but I will get back to you or write a little something fairly soon!
woah! that was fast! thank you so much!
im not that kind of person that needs some kind of medical attention because of this whole issue, but it affects my life in a quite annoying way… i should be doing homework right now!
and yes, the website has a lot of information, some of it is hard to believe, but the whole polar shift possibility caught my attention!
Hi there Julieta. Regarding your question above about the website, I just took a quick peek at it and only read the first small section about the possibility of a geographical pole shift. I have actually been worried about this myself and have contacted geologists and scientists regarding this matter. This is a response I got recently,(Re: ASK-AN-EARTH-SCIENTIST‏

Thank You so very much.> Summer > ————————————————————> Hi Summer. There is no evidence of any sort of a “geographical pole shift” where “land masses shift suddenly”. Neither Cayce ( a supposed psychic) nor Hapgood (a historian) were scientists, much less earth scientists, and their geologic predictions do not carry weight with earth scientists. I hope this helps.

It made me feel better, I hope it helps you too.
hey summer! i have read your posts here on DCS and kinda felt connected in some way to you… when you asked if this whole issue caused you any kind of physical/mental trouble.
thanks ben & summer !
it is quite comforting to know the opinion of a professional! and he sounds very professional indeed!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment. I have found much comfort in this site and in the postings of inquisitive people such as yourself. I also like to go to Yahoo Answers as there are so many questions posted every minute on this stuff and most of the answers are very helpful, informative, and comforting. There have been over 12,000 questions posted about 2012 alone over there and probably close to 120000 answers. It is so sweet of you to feel connected to me as I have felt with a few others. It’s so nice to know we are not alone in our fears. Feel free to e-mail me anytime you like. scarlett005@hotmail.com. Best Wishes.
