Well you have nice theme on your site but I will prefer you to download theme from generic wp themes as the site has good wp themes. I hope you don’t mind this suggestion

C is the most common least common denominator. When a group of programmers get together to decide what to write the next new next best thing they ask
“so do you know language-X it would be perfect”
“no, though i do know language-Y its almost as good, do you know that?”
“no i dont, but I do know C and its not well suited to this task at all”
“I know C as well, lets use that because we all know it even if its not well suited to this project”

….

and then years later they hire me and i end up writing string manipulation routines in C for the 5 millionth time.

let me say this LOUDLY:

“C IS THE BEST LANGUAGE FOR WRITING OPERATING SYSTEMS”
“C is NOT the best language for writing (almost) EVERYTHING ELSE”
