Ode to WordPress
Upgrading WordPress to 2.8.5 was unbelievably fast. I use the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin and after clicking the “automatic update” link the site was upgraded in the time it took to reload the page. It seems too good to be true. WordPress is a great system from my point of view – I’ve always found…

New design for the old site
At last a new design. I disliked the last redesign but am a little happier with this one. It remains a work in progress. It works in IE6 and the usual Firefox, Opera, Safari, but at the time of writing it is untested in Chrome, IE7 and IE8. Tomorrow is another day though. Then I…

BucketFountain search terms

Well, on this happy occasion…

WordPress upgrade
Another painful upgrade, although I guess I’ll get used to them. What I hate is that the site is down and I’m never sure how long for. That’s mostly due to the slow FTP speed I get with Bluehost. It’s certainly something I don’t want to do regularly, but I was unlucky enough to upgrade…

A new post at last
Oh momma it’s been a long time!! The site has been migrated to WordPress and is on a new host. I like WordPress so far, yet the stability of the host is yet to be determined.
