I did not realise it but it has been almost 6 months since the last update to this website. So I guess I have been busier than I thought of late! Anyway I created a new design for the site and added some features which I felt were lacking.
I had planned to write my own blogging engine, but when I tried the upgrade to Textpattern 4.0.4 I realised that most of the things that annoyed me about previous releases had been fixed and improved. It is such a nice light weight programme that I could no longer see the point in creating my own even if it did use the latest PHP5 features. On top of that, this update may have taken more than six months more to arrive! :-)
