I ain't gonna stop posting, but I just wanted to mention that authpad.com appears to be somewhat of a ghost town. I'm trying to find some fellow writers (haha) on here, but haven't had any fortune.
If you're out there, please leave a comment! I'd love to support the fellow users as well as scope out any potential css forks they employ. I like the minimalist feel of this place and will continue to post more here, I've gotten bogged down at work and while I couldn't be happier, it is nice to check in and post something now and again.
So no fear, I'm not leaving forever - my child theme isn't completed yet - so be in touch soon.
