Does it look faster here? Do pages load any quicker? I have tried installing a couple of plugins for Wordpress: GZIP Pages and WP Minify. Unfortunately the pages rendered all wrong but worked again when I disabled WP Minify. Maybe I could fix that with lots of work, but I can’t be bothered with all [...]

Things might go wrong

Since moving to ANHosting I have got lazy… I used to install and update Wordpress manually, downloading the files, unpacking them to the right place on my PC and then copying them up to the web server, but ANHosting include Fantastico as part of their package and that does it all for me. The only [...]

Test post
July 31st, 2009 · No Comments · Technology
I am playing around with some plugins. What should happen when I publish this is that it will also get posted as a tweet.
You can set it up to do this with all posts but while I am playing with it I have set it to only operate on posts within a specific new category.

January 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Technology
One of the few visible changes resulting from my upgrade to Wordpress 2.7 is that gravatars are now enabled here. They are supposed to show up in the ‘recent comments’ box but they don’t, and that is something I have to look into, but they are showing up in the comments of individual posts – [...]

Been itching to do it since 2.7 came out, but having been spoiled by having Fantastico doing all the installations and upgrades here I was really reluctant to go back to doing such [...]

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.
Glitches
June 19th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Technology
Something really strange happened here yesterday. I was halfway through posting about our afternoon of throwing £72,000 cars around Surrey, and Wordpress just stopped working properly. Somehow I became logged out, and then I couldn’t log back in again.
Feeling good
June 4th, 2008 · No Comments · Music, Technology
Tonight I backed up the whole site, upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress, upgraded a few plugins, had a little tinker and (nearly) everything still works OK. I feel good so I’m testing it out by inserting a bit of Dr. Feelgood.
