It turns out that I effectively turned off comments here when I upgraded WordPress the other day. I forgot that the captcha plug-in I use always screws up when I upgrade WordPress and I have to de-activate and re-activate it to make it all work again. I always forget. I expect I will forget next […]

Kindness of strangers

I have been having a bit of a frustrating time with WordPress lately. After not writing anything at all for ages – all my recent thoughts have been short enough to fit on Twitter or Facebook – I wrote a post today and when I hit ‘publish’ I did not get the normal message about […]

I think I shall upgrade WordPress before turning in. Just saying. It will explain why everything looks strange, if everything looks strange.

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 […]

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 […]
Gravatars

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 – […]

Big Pimpin’

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.
