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 – [...]

Going up

Just noticed that WordPress v2.7 is now available on my host’s Fantastico package so I think I’m going to upgrade right now. 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 have now finished (for the time being) a spot of minor tweaking and renovation of this blog: what Westwood would call pimping my blog…Â nothing major, just tidied up a few things that have been bugging me for ages.

Feeling good

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. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video [...]

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.

Another new plugin

This is supposed to make it easier to include YouTube clips, like this: You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video And it looks like it works OK. In the past I have had real headaches with embedded video clips, having to temporarily disable the visual editor and then paste the [...]
