Remember to Replace Your Mint Code When You Update Your WordPress Themes!

For the past few days, I have been wondering why my website’s hits have been set to zero. And of course, this started on the day when I updated the K2 theme on my blog. Of course, I did not realize this until I looked at my Feedburner stats today. Humm, 10 subscribers and 3 hits today? Something isn’t right… So, I continue to try to figure out what the problem was and then it hit me - I forgot to add the Mint code to my K2 header.php file when I updated the theme! So, I decided to check to see if this was the case. It was, I saw that the source code to have Mint tracking on this site was missing. So, I went into Mint, copied the code and pasted it into K2. I wonder if there is a plugin that allows the Mint code to automatically be included so I don’t have to remember each time that I update the theme…

Hell, my Uncle Jim is a Episcopalian minister and has accepted me as I am and is working on trying to regender me in his mind, even though I act badly and chastise him when he makes mistakes, which is wrong (although, he lived in Sacramento for years so that could also affect his ideology).
