There’s something about this time of year that always makes me wistful for the good old days—the simpler times, if you will—when all that mattered were family, friends, and a whole lotta blogging about everything under the sun. I miss those days, don’t you?
Fear not, my fellow blogging friends. We’ve got you all covered today with a theme that will make you want to stop time and write about everything in your lives until you can’t write anymore.
A Simpler Time, designed by Denise Chandler, is a theme that’s beautiful, bold, and memorable—pretty much exactly like the types of stories you’ll be writing alongside it on your WordPress.com blog:
A Simpler Time: Single Post
It’s a traditional blog theme in the sense that it offers everything you’ve come to expect from a WordPress theme—widgets, custom menus, and custom headers, and more—and it also looks incredible. If you’d also like to mix it up with different colors and fonts, try the Custom Design upgrade. You can do all of that and more.
A Simpler Time is a premium upgrade for your blog; read more about its features on the Theme Showcase or dive right into previewing it on your blog from Appearance → Themes.

It’s now much easier for you and your commenters to keep track of the conversations you’re involved in across WordPress.com. Some recent tests have shown that by subscribing commenters to new comments by default, they are more likely to stay engaged and come back and comment more on your blog. With that knowledge, we’ve changed the default comment following behavior to help you get more conversations going on your blog.
We made the initial changes last week and after great feedback from you we just launched an update. Here’s how it works:
- By default, posting a comment will now subscribe you to receive follow-up comments via email for that specific post, keeping you updated on the conversation. This is indicated by the checked box in the comment form.
- If you have a WordPress.com account, you now have a global setting to change this so that by default you will not be subscribed. If you don’t have an account, then you can create one over here.
- If you don’t want email notifications for a thread, just uncheck the box when you post your comment. If you’ve disabled the feature, you can also subscribe to a specific thread by checking the box in the comment form.
- There is also a link at the bottom of every notification email that will allow you to change your subscription options.
If you’d like to find out all of the details about how this works, we’ve also updated our support documentation about following comments.

We’ve added a user showcase where you can view stunning customizations made by people just like you. From complete redesigns with CSS to adding pizzazz with Custom Fonts to clever use of options like background and header, this showcase will spark your imagination and inspire creativity.
Discover details about what each showcase blog is doing with WordPress.com themes and customizations by clicking a thumbnail to see a colophon-style list of credits on the left.
We’ve also updated footer links so blog owners can show off the types of customizations they’ve made and visitors can learn more by clicking the “Customized” link in WordPress.com footers. A “Customized” link will appear next to the theme name for blogs that are using Custom Design tools like fonts or CSS.
Things we like to see when looking for showcase-worthy customizations are blogs with good traffic, beautiful design, well-written articles or stunning images, recent content updates, and involvement helping out in our CSS Customization forum.
Be inspired, customize your blog and make it that perfect place for your creations.

Waxing, shaving, lasering—you probably think it’s a new phenomenon. Think again! People have been removing their face and body hair for millennia, and for all types of reasons. Evidence exists to suggest that caveman (yes, “Me Man, You WOMAN!”) would use sharp scraps of rock or shell to scrape off their beards so that it wouldn’t snag in the claws of wild animals… and you thought a bikini wax was stressful! Take a look at some of the interesting and wacky trends in hair removal throughout the ages. You don’t want to miss out on this!
The ancient Egyptians continued the grand tradition of scraping off body hair (and most likely some of their epidermis) in the name of beauty. They also created a method still used today, called sugaring. Similar to waxing, a sticky paste (similar to
Nad’s) would be applied to the skin, then ripped off with cloths, along with the body and head hair, leaving only brows. It was considered uncivilized to have hair “down there.” Men of a higher class would also remove the hair on their heads, as a mark of status.
Hair removal creams appeared on the scene as well, including a popular mixture containing resin, pitch, white vine or ivy gum extract, ass’ fat, she-goat’s gall, bat’s blood, and powdered viper. These trends continued into the Roman era, where the first copper tweezers were introduced!
During the European middle ages, hair removal continued to be popular, but not in quite the same way. Body hair was okay, but women would remove their eyebrows and hair from their hairline to give them an elongated forehead. Homemade depilatories ran the gamut from pleasant (like rubbing walnut oil on babies’ foreheads to prevent hair growth) to disgusting (affixing bandages covered in a mixture of cat urine and vinegar to the hairline).
Another ancient practice that has been gaining popularity in the US is the ancient art of threading, known as khite in Arabic. A thread is looped and the hair (usually eyebrows) is captured in the loop and plucked out. This practice was widespread in the Eastern world along with other forms of hair removal, such as using depilatories. In many Islamic cultures, it was considered sinful for women not to keep their bikini area hair-free and they would flock to public baths to have it removed or simply remove it themselves.
Razor time! The painful-sounding scraping technique continued through the centuries, with men and women using rocks, pumice, shells, or flint to rid themselves of face and body hair. This eventually evolved into the razors of today, with the invention of the L-shaped Perret razor in the 1760’s, and the Gillette safety razor in the 1880’s!
20th century hair removal methods are varied and widely available and affordable; used by members of all social classes. Shaving, sugaring, tweezing and waxing are still some of the most common beauty practices of men and women. Threading has gained popularity again, and new technologies like electrolysis and laser hair removal have recently appeared on the scene, offering truly long term results for the first time. Electrolysis uses a thin metal needle to zap the base of the hair follicle and cauterize it permanently. The latest trend in hair removal, the laser, entered the scene recently, in 1995, but is gaining widespread popularity. While electrolysis targets individual hairs, a laser can often cover areas of skin more quickly. It works well for light-skinned, dark-haired individuals.
What do you think? Are you glad to be alive in the 21st century when hair removal can be as easy as scheduling an appointment for a laser hair removal session? Or maybe you’ve been inspired to start scraping your legs with shells to save a few bucks? 
Swimsuit season is fast approaching – it’s time to defuzz!

Spring is in the air. With the weather warming up, now is a great time to get started on a photo blog. Creating a photo blog is a wonderful introduction to blogging on WordPress.com or an opportunity to refresh your current site. Ready to get started? You can sign up for a new blog right over here.
Getting started
Photo blogs, sometimes called phlogs, use pictures instead of words. While many photo bloggers choose a type of photo that they want to focus on, such as portraits, others use their photo blog to document their life’s events. Photo blogs come in a variety of styles, including those that focus on vacation photos or even snapshots of friends. With images, we can capture moments in our life in a way that sometimes words cannot.
When starting a photo blog, you’ll want to choose a theme with a wider content area to help to showcase your photos at full size. Similarly, choosing a theme that is minimalistic helps to reduce any noise that may detract from the focus on your photography. Popular photo blogging themes on WordPress.com include Nishita, Duotone, and Modularity Lite. Looking for some inspiration? Be sure to check out the photo blogs below or more of our recommended photo blogging sites for examples of photo-friendly layouts.
The Unknown Project, a WordPress.com photo blog using Anthem.
Tracey Capone Photography, a WordPress.com photo blog using Twenty Eleven.
Tomorrow Never Knows, a WordPress.com photo blog using Comet.
Want to add photo flair to your site without starting a whole new blog? Adding a photo blogging category to an existing blog is a great way to revamp your site. In fact, you may consider doing “Friday Phlogs” or a similar weekly special to help incorporate these tips consistently into your current site.
Tools of the Trade
What do you need to get started? Nothing but a camera and an internet connection. Photo blogging with a smart phone is growing increasingly simple, particularly with the Quick Photo button in the WordPress for iOS and Android apps where you can point, shoot, and publish. If you’re already a pro at the WordPress apps, you may be interested in taking a look at Camera+ and Flickr, which allow you to automatically share your photos to your WordPress.com blog.
On the left, QuickPhoto in WordPress for Android and on the right, QuickPhoto in WordPress for iOS.
If you choose to use a more traditional camera, there are few tips to keep in mind when uploading your photos to ensure they represent the full quality of your original picture.
- Don’t resize your photos after uploading them to WordPress.com. Instead, leave your images at full size so we can see your work in all of it’s glory. WordPress.com will automatically generate the appropriate dimensions for you.
- Make edits to your photos before uploading them.
- Save your photos as JPEGs. JPEGs are the best format for photos online. You can also use PNG if you’re looking to add a transparent image to your site.
Welcome to our series on photo blogging! Stay tuned for more tips and tricks over the next few weeks.

So, it’s not just us regular folk who get decorated. According to an article in Roll Call, there are several members of Congress who have tattoos.
Reading the article, I was actually surprised that the numbers were so small. I’m sure not every member of Congress was asked, and I’m sure that not everyone would own up to it if they were asked, but it just seemed to me that people who are as comfortable being in the public eye as most politicians are, would be more in favor of body art, even if it was only to be revealed behind closed doors.
I wonder what designs politicians would pick, if they could do it without penalty? A discreet presidential seal on Michelle Obama’s bicep? A tramp stamp on Michele Bachman? Men’s Ruin on Larry Craig? Fuzzy dice for Harry Reid? The possibilities are endless.
I wonder if both Bush presidents had something discreet and Yale related? It’s been said that George Schultz had a Princeton tiger on his behind, and Barry Goldwater had a Native American symbol on his hand.
Have you seen, or heard of, people in public life (not entertainment) who’ve got ink? I’d be interested to hear about it.

OK, it’s crunch time. Time to get lip and facial service and major body treatments in before that sun starts to really shine. We all end up looking and feeling confident in that bikini with whatever last minute routines we abide by before the summer months, but what about on the inside? Beauty shines within, it shines without, and while we soak up those rays, let these top 5 tips we hand-picked help you get your skin ready for summer. Long Live BEAUTY!
Dry brush before every shower: This is an amazing upkeep tip! Dry brushing before every shower will gently exfoliate, stimulate the lymphatic system and increase circulation. Got some body contouring done? This is highly recommended for those of us wanting to minimize or prevent cellulite. Maintain that summer backside!
Re-hydrate from the inside out: Water, Water, Water. Although we love that Diet Coke, drink more water or herbal tea instead. Enjoy a green drink or juice (once a day is ideal). Want inflammation busters? Green is the way to go: they help keep skin glowing! They will also help to detoxify the body and reduce acid…which keeps that youthful skin!
Switch your shower head: Flouride and chlorine are very high in our tap water in California, and that dries our skin and hair out…especially when used hot, which most of us do. If you don’t have a filtered shower head, you can grab one at Home Depot.
Get a better shave: Switch to a more natural shave cream. Better yet, check out Dr. Bonner’s Castille Soap which acts as a soap / body wash / shaving cream. You can also use your natural hair conditioner to shave. Chemicals = BAD!
Don’t forget to moisturize: Hydrate, lovers. Toes to shoulders, shoulders to toes, immediately soak your skin with a moisturizer that suits your skin. Using a plant based oil, like coconut, will provide extra antioxidants and vitamins to keep skin plump and smooth.

Christy Turlington is a mother, wife, supermodel, student, and humanitarian… and we found this quote by her, qualifying one of the biggest faces in the world as our stellar muse of the week:
“Beauty is so much more than what’s physical. Strength is beautiful to me. When I see a woman that’s empowered, she has a radiance and self-possession that every woman should be lucky enough to have.”
