Disclaimer: I made the following changes on my own and as I learned by doing. This project was about trial and error. I am in no way a programmer, I am just a regular dude who can use Google.com to solve my own problems.

I make no claim that anything that follows will work for your specific situation. I do, however, hope this article helps you find answers to what you are looking for.

Enjoy. :)

How did it all start? I have been a big fan of Pat Flynn over at the Smart Passive Income.com for a while now. His transparency and regular guy approach seems to strike a cord with me. Anyways, while lurking his site, I read his article on using the Simplefolio WordPress Theme by Omar E. Corrales.

Now, the specifics that I started with were found at the Niche Site Duel hub. Specifically here. It was my desire to figure out how he setup up the Simplefolio wordpress theme for that corporate style website. So I went about figuring it out.


Here are the steps I took.

  1. Install WordPress
  2. Install the Simplefolio wordpress theme
  3. Mess with the default *.php and *.css files to see if I can’t bend the theme to my will. The results are less than impressive.
  4. Look at the source code of the target website for hints to what is under the hood. In this case, (old) http://www.securityguardtraininghq.com/
  5. Research at the WordPress codex how to develop and code themes. I would rather be working a concrete pour than dig through that site.
  6. Code (2) new page templates to display information.
  7. Edit the code of the default theme pages being used to display the new header.
  8. Tweak, trouble shoot and install addons.

…it was a beginning.



Welcome to my personal web blog and storehouse for all things that are interesting to me. This site is dedicated to the nautical phrase “under the lee”.

The wind and its effect on the world’s oceans were of great importance to sailors of all time periods. They respected the strong, sometimes fearful, forces that sped them across the world to further exploration and trade. When wind blows across a vessel or land mass, it has its own reference point which is referring to the wind’s relevant direction of travel. When talking about a ship, the side that the wind blows towards is referred to as the ‘windward’ side of a vessel. The direction that the wind leaves, either across a vessel’s deck or off a ship’s sails, is called the ‘leeward’ side. The same terms are used when describing nearby land while on a sailing ship.

Sailing the great Colorado River.

As a sailor, you are at the mercy of the winds. When a storm is coming down on you, there is little protection from its ferocity and might while out in the expanse of the ocean. However, in many locations around the world, there are numerous islands and peninsulas that can provide safer shelter than the open sea. By positioning one’s ship on the leeward side of the island, the island acts as a buffer to the storm winds. It lessens the wind’s intensity as well as, more importantly, the wind driven wave’s destructive power. This is referred to as being “under the lee” of a storm.
