Idling near the gravel pit
Rural speed, shed talk, hard chirps, and the suspicion that a simple job should stay simple.
The truck is idling in the drive, the coffee is gas-station warm, and your site is finally doing its basic tasks without dressing them up as a product launch.
Dirtbag is here for plain posts, visible links, comments, feeds, OPML, XFN, microformats, web-safe colours, and just enough CSS to keep the text from hugging the ditch.
- RSS is visible.
- Comments are open.
- The blogroll has an OPML file.
- The only JavaScript is WordPress core’s own — the theme’s stays in the glovebox.
