Mockup for new website design

I have comments!

Steve — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 17:48:05 +0000

Finally, I’ve got comments on my website!

I’ve got a new gallery (again)

Steve — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:57:18 +0000

After I got so excited the other week at integrating Picasa into my gallery here, it’s all change again! I’m using the built-in WordPress gallery now, which I didn’t know existed until the other day. It means that I can’t use Google’s free disk space and data transfer, but on the other hand when I go onto Solar Host, most of my website will actually be powered by them! I’d prefer to go with Athenaeum, because I’ve spoken to Jamie there before, but sadly they’re their (did I just write that?) charges are a bit on the high side.

I need to add in a list of tags that only show photos; at the moment you can only look at photo sets by date (no big problem with only three entries). It’s good to experiment with mixing the content of the website together, so the photo sets aren’t in a gallery as such. You don’t need to post to say you’ve put new photos up, they’re just there on the home page!

And then there are back buttons. My websites never seem to end up getting back buttons. I will change this.

That’ll be a no, then :)

That’ll be a no, then .

More RSS icons

The big RSS feed icon has divided and multiplied, and now there are little RSS feed icons too!

Moblogging: it’s official; Wordpress 2.6.1

Steve — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:23:14 +0000

The Official Authority on Everything Everywhere that is Wikipedia recognises “Moblogging“, so I didn’t invent a new word. Shame.

I’ve just upgraded to Wordpress 2.6.1, using the Automatic Upgrade plugin for the first time. Even though it backs everything up first, I held my breath; but it worked! Which is just as well really, because when I looked at the backup ZIP files it had downloaded, they were empty!

After encouraging Maisy out from behind the sofa, I put

Steve — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 03:17:46 +0000

After encouraging Maisy out from behind the sofa, I put her back in her house! But she was really trying to get out, so I let her out to run around on her cupboard. She slipped off, and as I tried to grab her I ended up flicking her off to the left! She’s fine though . In her house, with the door blu-taced shut. I’m in bed, mobile blogging, it’s the way forward! “Moblogging” – I surely can’t be the first to come up with that word goodnight!

WordPress is so easy

Steve — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 05:42:10 +0000

WordPress is so easy a decapitated cockroach could work with it (well, for up to 10 days anyways, which is how long cockroaches can live without their heads – not that you really wanted to know that)

It’s all gone a bit Web 2.0

Steve — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 02:36:53 +0000

It’s beginning to look a bit Web 2.0 around here, with the Tumblelogging and the tag cloud. And all without reaching for some AJAX.

Thanks to A List Apart for the drawing

My new in-progress design is more than a little inspired by Projectionist, but since my readership doesn’t go into double figures I don’t think they’ll mind. Anyway, they’re clearly more Web 2.0 than me, they’ve got shiny reflections…
