You May Notice A Change
I've been meaning to update the blog for a while (in the sense of move on from Moveable Type). Don't get me wrong - MT has a lot going for it, and I'm glad I used it for as long as I did, but I felt the need to try something new. All I needed was the impetus to do it.
In the end, the impetus was provided by an utterly impenetrable set of oddnesses happening with my MT installation that caused several long postings to vanish without trace, others to be multiply duplicated, and still others not to appear at all when I added them. In fact, at the time of wring I can neither make a new posting nor get into any of the old ones to edit them. And while my technical know-how isn't as great as some people's, nevertheless, I tend to be able to get my head round most things that I need to. Not this one though.
So it's bye bye MT and hello WordPress. Which I'm liking so far. I had a brief introduction to it at the weekend when my Beloved decided to set it up for the blog associated with his new project (more on that when it's all official), and decided to give it a go here.
I'm also taking the opportunity to move the blog front and centre and put it at the top level of the domain - I haven't done anything with the other page of the site in longer than I can remember, so I may as well ditch them and start over. This template will change when I get a chance to come up with a new design I like - this is the WordPress default just at the moment.
Now that I've moved i it'll no doubt take a little while to get the furniture all in the places I want it and the colour scheme just right, so don't be surprised if not everything stays where it is right now.
Anyway - welcome to my new home.

oooh, very swanky!!!
I’m on the verge of setting up a new site for myself in light of my upcoming travels … I think I’m going to go for drupal, but this definitely seems to have given you a fresh lease of life
don’t forget the 8th btw!

looks nice, MT was good, but I switched a while back and I’m glad I did so… will have to take a look at wordpress though….
always good to know what’s out there (and I still haven’t managed to add a gallery to my site yet)….
