Website Update

Well, you may have noticed the sites design has changed. It felt like an update of the design was in order – and there was a new release of wordpress (the software that powers this site) so I thought I would combine the two.

It has broken a few things – the youtube plugin I was using doesn’t seem to work properly, but then I should be writing posts and not just slacking off and posting videos;)

I didn’t post for a while, many reasons of course. One was that firefox got a bit bogged down – running too many extensions. Firefox extensions can be useful but they do impact on performance. Removing them has made using firefox much faster. I also thought that the youtube videos were slowing down the site, but it turned out that removing the extensions fixed the problem.

BTW, the skin I am using at the moment on this site is based on Fluid Solution.

One of these days I will have to get a windows machine so I can test what things look like for most people. But I think I will wait until they opensource Vista…
