Spent part of the day trying to work out some database problems with the sites that recently went down. It began when Amy tried to post a comment on her blog and WordPress was having none of it. I was preoccupied with getting a tutorial done for another one of my sites, Handplane Central so [...]
In case anyone was wondering what happened to the “comments” section of this site I had decided – during my time away from here – that there were a couple of things that made me rethink the whole concept. First and foremost the time it takes to read and comment back. Don’t get me wrong [...]
Well it’s been a LONG time between drinks I must say! All productive I might add – just not of a “blogging” nature. In fact I’d have to say that I’ve been so removed from blogging that it’s gonna take a little time for me to get used to how WordPress works again. I think [...]
My last “live” post for a month. It’s official! I have lost my Blog Thunderdome battle and I’ve now been banned from posting for a month. It was supposed to be a two month ban but the judges capitulated and reduced it down to one. It was the right decision to ban me based on [...]
I’ve found out what’s been happening with my WordPress feeds – SWEET NOTHIN! I mean sometimes they update, but most times they don’t. No wonder my FeedBurner stats read 0-1-0-2-0-2-0-2-0-3-0-2 users all the time! To FeedBurner, and the people who have had the “misfortune” to subscribe to me through there, this is virtually a DEAD [...]
Two blog reviews that is… The first one you may already know about (well, if you’ve been reading this blog in the last week you WILL know about it) and that is the battle/review over at Maximum Awesome known as Blog Thunderdome. I should probably add that if anyone from here wants to “vote” for [...]
….To quote REG from “Withnail And I”. Apologies for not posting for a couple of days but I’ve been busy with other “real world” matters. I should warn you that I may be going on an even longer (two month) holiday if the blog doesn’t fair well in the Blog Thunderdome over the next week [...]
Is it the ultimate battle arena? Are the stakes just too high? Do you have to be crazy to even consider entering into this bout? Two blogs enter. One blog leaves! It’s full steam ahead for the Blog Thunderdome! Holy crap it’s getting hot in here! There’s a new “Bad Boy” in town and this [...]
When I first started this blog not all that long ago I had to decide on a short little “catch cry” to describe what people might expect when reading it – just a descriptive passage that I could then transpose wherever I saw fit. I quickly came up with “The musings, mutterings and everyday meanderings [...]
I’ve had a bit of an epiphany. I’ve just realized that I’ve been totally disregarding a section of the general public that may, from time to time, have a need to look up my name for say……A SCHOOL PROJECT! I have to admit that I’ve been a bit slow on the uptake here and completely [...]
