Are you stuck in the Icy North, or have you crossed the Gulf of YouTube, negotiated the Bay of Trolls and sailed through the Sea of Memes to reach the IRC Isles?
Very funny - but actually quite useful!
Notice the compass which describes sites in the North as practical, sites in the South as intellectual and shows sites in the East focusing on real life and sites in the East focusing on the web.
To coincide with a brand new shiny URL, twopointoh.co.uk, I decided that a design refresh would go down nicely, so I’ve been working hard in Photoshop and Dreamweaver to come up with this. Ok, that’s a lie - I just picked a different theme.
In doing so I did notice that half the WordPress themes are just ever-so-slightly broken or lacking. Maybe it’s to encourage you to upgrade to be able to edit the CSS yourself.
Anyway, I’ll probably lose my (fairly decent) Google SERPs position, but what the hell. On the upside, the blog should be much easier to read now. It also means that should I ever get around to installing and hosting my own copy of wordpress, I can do it without switching URLs again.
It’s hard enough keeping track of my RSS feeds at the moment - even just the essentials - never mind writing about it all. But I’m planning on posting more often - there’s so much going on in the world of Web 2.0 at the moment.
Just to make my resolution even harder, I’ve also started a food blog called Mouthwatering, with my partner, Sarah. If you’re a fellow epicurean, please do check it out and let me know what you think.
