I’ve been slowly but surely moving over some of the updates from my wordpress weblog/s over the years to this blog so as to give a better picture of my website over the years. It’s actually not as interesting as I thought it would be because most of the posts are “omg new layout!!” —… read full entry »
Review-You now has its own RSS Feed which, if you like to read web page reviews, you can add to your Firefox Bookmarks and see ‘live’ when new reviews are added. So, that’s um.. just me adding it to my feed reader then? ;) (Vix: I’ll finish your review by the end of the week.)… read full entry »
So, I’ve come to realise over the past few days (and would have realised sooner had I read the change log) that Firefox 1.5 allows custom cursors (i.e. graphical cursors). This is something that wasn’t allowed before (by Firefox; IE does) and surely should also be classed, like coloured scrollbars, as part of the OS/browser… read full entry »
It annoys me when I browse the Internet and see teen “web designers” in various forums complaining that they’ve had various “blends” or supposed “original artwork” stolen from them. Said artwork usually contains a sloppily edited celebrity photograph, a few dodgy Photoshop™ brushes or textures, with a few illegally downloaded (yet usually expensive) fonts chucked… read full entry »
I was updating my qbee quilt last night and it got me thinking: it’s the only online ‘thing’ that I’ve ever really stuck to. I’ve been and gone at forums, often forgetting my login names or forgetting they even exist.. never sticking to affiliate/surfing programs and heaven knows what else. Yet, here I am, a… read full entry »
Remember when I saw a flashing Snowman in August? Well, I went in to Shrewsbury again with Karl at the weekend and couldn’t see it at all. I think they’ve got their a bit seasons mixed up. Oh, did I mention that my next-door neighbours put their tree up in the middle of November? That’s… read full entry »
I’ve been thinking about this PHP style switcher business, as well as what I’m going to do with BellaBook3.1 to get it safe and secure, ready for release. I have been trying to figure out the best way to have this PHP styleswitcher without disturbing browsing. I *think* because it’s a server-side language it is… read full entry »
To those who brought it up, yes I am aware that the site loads ‘plain’ (without colour) when you first visit if you’ve not seen the new layouts before. This is to do with the cookies in the JavaScript style switcher, at a guess. Anyway, to get past this simply refresh or choose a theme… read full entry »
So, as you see, December 1st brings some new layouts and a few updates to some older pages. For the most part the new themes are based on what was voted the favourite out of my old ones. They are all fluid and have fully resizable text; some other new accessibility features will be implemented… read full entry »
In a way this post is mislabeled, because it’s not really WordPress and more a case of badly set permissions.. Anyway, to get to the point: I’ve been to several weblogs today based on WordPress which have been exploited because of dodgy set permissions. Unfortunately at the time I’ve had several websites open generally and… read full entry »
