It’s spring and with it comes to the old proverbial ’spring clean’. And so it’s out with the previous annoying template that was causing no amount of problems and in with something a lot more flashy, or as I like to thinkabout it a lot more ‘friendly and nice looking’.

For anyone who has owned or owns a Mac, the theme should be ‘familiar’ as it’s essentially a take on the Apple layout. It’s clean and simple, and what’s more it’s all customisable on the fly - you can click and drag any of the boxes in the sidebars and move/order them as you see fit, and you can also minimise them using the little green button.

The gallery has changed as well, it’s still in the process of being finalised, but it works a lot better than the previous one. There’s still a few things to be changed, improved on but all in good time. I barely have enough time to do what I need to do as it is.

So far everything seems to be working, but let me know if you find anything that doesn’t. So please go ahead and have enjoying, I’ll be doing some much overdue writing in the coming weeks too.

No you’re not dreaming, the site has suffered a drastic makeover and update. Which is part of the reason why I haven’t been posting much for most of the month. The other reasons being: I’ve had an surge of work (paid work even, the best and most urgent kind there is! :lol: ), I’ve got totally sucked into Heroes season 1 (catching up on 23 episodes before the new season started this week - tv marathons ftw) and I’ve been working on updating this blog as well, which was a slow process due to the aforementioned bits and other things.

Finally done did it though. New design, layout and a fresh new Wordpress version too. Which I must admit is actually nice - probably the first time I’ve felt genuinely pleased with it since I’ve started updating WP. I really wasn’t happy with what had been changed in the previous 2.0x versions, but this one seems to have fixed a lot of things and added a lot of good stuff. So far anyways. Having spent the best part of 6h doing everything today my brain’s probably just too frazzled and I’ll start seeing stuff I don’t like tomorrow after some sleep (and more episodes of Heroes, yes I’m hooked).

So anyways sit back, relax and enjoy. Have a play around, there’s lots of new little nifty things added: the snap shot preview for all links, the gallery’s had a face lift, there’s a new archive page (link at the top) which is lovely and easy to use, you can now share any post on this blog easily by clickling the share this! link which will open a pop up menu giving a choice of options like digg, delicious, emailing etc…, you can also navigate posts by using the calendar or the tags cloud (which will be updated this week to include all posts) or the search function, I’ve added the Turntable Radio podcast feed, and there’s a wicked little thing at the top which you can use to scroll through all the posts on the front page. Whoo hoo for geekery.

If you see anything broken or have any comments/feedback on the changes please drop us a comment. More posts coming up tomorrow too, got a backlog of writing!
