Spam filter

I’ve been gettin spammed to death over the las few weeks so, somewhat reluctantly (since past experiences haven’t been great), I’m going to add a spam filter to the blog to see if it helps.

Let me know if you experience any weirdness when you comment.

Cheers

I’ve broken something

I’ve just noticed that (since the end of the redesign/upgrade to 2.5) my RSS feed isn’t picking up messages posted here - can anyone passing by confirm whether or not they’re getting my posts on RSS feed?

Since I’m guessing I’ve broken something, can anyone who knows anything about RSS feeds suggest whether there’s anything I can do to reconnect people?

New look

It started off as a quick test to see what was possible and ended up with a whole new blog… seven hours later, it’s 5:30am and frankly I’m not sure I’ve got a particularly firm grip on reality.

Still the old grey design was getting me down.

Perviously, although I’ve used wordpress to power this blog it was an installation done by my ISP. This was the first time I’ve done an installation from the ground up (well, with some help from Pragya’s Redie template, which I’ve tweaked.

Wordpress is a pretty remarkable piece of software - just fiddling about with this made me realise there’s a hell of a lot a more dedicated programmer could make this thing do.

Anyway, I hope you like the new look - do let me know if you come across broken things.

Bed now. Football later. Reviews to write.
