I spent more hours that I like to think about playing with Blogger in draft, which is the beta aspect of Google’s Blogger platform, to explore the possibilities of their new template design feature. It certainly is an improvement on the basic Blogger platform’s layout tools.

A slight return to the song title subject lines for this one – though there is another Black Sabbath song that I could have chosen instead.  This is old news (it appeared in the Crawley Observer on Dec 2nd) but I never got round to writing about it at the time, being more interested in […]

Just recently I have been busy setting up a new web site for Horsham Labour Party, with a final push to make it go live on May 1st.

So that was 2006?

There is still a week to go before the end, but I am going to assume nothing much will happen in that time – or should that be hope that nothing will happen (bearing in mind the terrorist fears in today’s Observer)? It has been a mixed year really. Music As far as music is […]

Blogs Today
July 13th, 2006 · Comments Off on Blogs Today · Technology
I think that the Blogs Today site is quite new, but it looks interesting. It is traditional, possibly even mandatory, for WordPress users to look down their noses a bit at a set-up which is free, very easy to use and under the ownership of a newspaper company, but it does have a lot going […]

WordPress Spam
July 13th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Technology
Tygernet was moaning about this the other day. Actually moaning is not the right word: he was quite belligerent about it really. Anyway, I have been wondering about this for a while, because I really am not very expert in the inner workings of MySQL/php. I know the reason why a spammer would want to […]
WordPress.com

Now that I have finally finished moving all my old archives from Blogger to WordPress by hand, I find that there was an easier way. Sort of. Yesterday I found that to activate the Akismet spam-blocker you need something called a WordPress API key, which you get by opening a free account a WordPress.com. I […]

The conversion of archives from Blogger WordPress format has been going well. I found a way to work faster, and have now got back as far as November 2005. Inbetween that, I found out about the error log on the server and through that I noticed that I have cocked-up the links to the 2004 […]
Traffic

I don’t know why it is, but skuds.co.uk is getting roughtly 4 or 5 times as many visits as skuds.blogspot.com was getting., but I’ll be buggered if I can work out why. Even more confusing when you consider that there was always a fair amount of random visits from people hitting the ‘next blog’ button […]
Bloody Archives
March 6th, 2006 · 5 Comments · Technology
This may be interesting or even useful to Blogger users considering a move to WordPress at some point. As an interim measure, I changed my Blogger settings to archive monthly and not provide individual post pages, while publishing via ftp. This created a single HTML page for each month of stuff. Then I changed back […]
