Spring cleaning needed
I updated PHP on my website and it broke a few things, primarily the search and sidebar widgets. Sorry about that. Anyone got any theme recommendations? In 2017, I made some modifications to “Responsive II” from Cyberchimps.com, but it’s not agreeing with PHP 8 now.

Spring cleaning a website

Hopefully won’t be down long, say 11:30am-12:30pm CST. Also plan on helping out my friend, Natty, this afternoon. He currently has his site on WordPress.com which has half the functionality as…
