Thank you Google, you twat

So, if you’d not noticed already, I converted my blog to WordPress yesterday. I know, I know, I told WordPress to suck my balls. Apparently things change, not least because of a half-dead install of Habari thanks to me installing an unstable night-release (don’t ask why, I don’t know). It was actually quicker to migrate… read full entry »

Ooops, broke it

Broken my Habari, bear with me ;D *whispers I converted back to wp whispers*


Handy WordPress Dev Stuff

I recently mentioned some bespoke WordPress plugin development I was doing for a work client; I have a few links I saved at the time which helped me build in styles using built-in WordPress classes, as well as functions / hooks / etc which made my life easier. I thought they may be of use… read full entry »

What happened to January?

It only feels like 5 minutes ago I was getting myself all in a panic about how Isabel would settle at nursery, but apparently it’s well over a month. Oops. Neglecting my blog, much? Isabel settled into nursery quicker than I imagined she would. She’s adopted a blanket that I crocheted when I was about… read full entry »

Developing BabyLedWeaning.com

To keep me on the ball while I was enjoying my extended maternity leave last year, I volunteered my services to Mumsnet regular and BabyLedWeaning.com owner/blogger ‘Aitch’. Aitch was fed up of being unable to update her existing website, based on a Joomla backend, and had not blogged in several years. The site was falling… read full entry »


Separation Anxiety and all that Jazz

I’m really struggling with being a parent right now. Don’t get me wrong, I love Isabel to billions of teeny tiny pieces (not literally, obviously), but I can’t stand to see her upset and that seems to be the status quo at the minute. Life’s hard for 14 month old babies. She’s going through a… read full entry »

I Poke #breastfeeding Trolls

Yep, it’s my not-so-secret pastime. The equivalent of pounding on a stress ball when I’m in a shitty mood. You see, when Isabel was much smaller I did some searching on twitter for “breastfeeding” in the hope that I’d find some fellow nursing mums to get support if I needed it. This worked well, and… read full entry »

Does this work?

Just updated to the latest dev release of Habari, so hold on while I figure out what’s broken :) ETA: tags are broken, oh dear.. (trac ticket)


Oh Bugger

Why is it that when I’m away from the computer I can formulate hundreds of blog entries in my head but the second I sit down to write anything, it all pours away? Buggery. I guess with the lack of anything inspirational or witty to say I should probably update you all on what’s going… read full entry »
