Last week I went a little outside my comfort zone when selecting products from Amazon’s Vine programme to review and chose a software package - something called WebSite X5 which is, not surprisingly, a website creation package. This site runs under Wordpress so there is no point using another package here, but I do have [...]

Big Pimpin’
August 6th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Life, Music, Technology
I have now finished (for the time being) a spot of minor tweaking and renovation of this blog: what Westwood would call pimping my blog… nothing major, just tidied up a few things that have been bugging me for ages.
Word Up

I upgraded to Wordpress 2.6 overnight. All my little customisations seem to have survived, but if anybody spots anything acting strange let me know: I haven’t been totally exhaustive in my testing.
U Got The Look
July 28th, 2008 · No Comments · Life
The Argus website has had a bit of a facelift since I last looked at it and is greatly improved. Like many newspaper websites, and most local paper sites, it is a bit ‘busy’ and over-burdened with adverts and sponsored links: but that is how they make it it pay its way. Not so sure [...]

Introspection
December 20th, 2007 · No Comments · Technology
One last (for now) bit of navel gazing about the new look and feel of this site and then its back to waffling about football, Dr. Who, music and the manifold shortcomings of the Tories.
For a start, while I was not looking, the hit counter ticked past the momentous but arbitrary 100,000 hits mark. I’m [...]

I have had a compliment or two about the new design e-mailed to me. They had to be e-mailed because apparently the comment facility doesn’t work. Oops. Sorry about that.
Another Berliner
January 8th, 2006 · No Comments · Life
From today The Observer is published in the same Berliner format as the Guardian has since about September.
They didn’t make as much of a song and dance about it as the Guardian did, nor has the reading public been making as much fuss about it.
It all looks pretty good to me. The size [...]

Guardian Berliner - dotting the i’s
September 11th, 2005 · No Comments · Life
Having seen the mock paper in today’s Observer and yesterday’s Guardian I am a little relieved to find that the lower-case i’s look OK after all - they looked a bit strange in this PDF but on the printed page they are fine. Phew.
Now I only have to worry about how [...]

Ich bin ein Berliner?
September 9th, 2005 · No Comments · Life
The Grammar Puss blog is still obsessed (as many of us are) with the new format the Guardian will appear in on Monday.
She has a link to PDF of a trial edition’s front page.
Like many people, I have some reservations about having headlines in a serif font, but then I am [...]
