A friend has suggested that, if I mention a track or album on Spotify I should embed it in the post. Previously I have sometimes put a hyperlink in though often I haven’t bothered. I thought I would try installing a plugin and see what it does. This is just a test of that plugin […]

Strap in and brace yourself, because this could get boring very quickly. Keen-eyed regular readers will have noticed the unavailablility of this site for a few days and wondered whether it was the latest victim of Anonymous or Lulzsec or a Tory conspiracy. Nothing so exciting: just technical problems. I won’t describe the problems in […]

I always forget. I expect I will forget next […]

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 […]
