My So Called Life…

Having moved our other blog about Ryan (See Alex&Toni) we decided to move Toni’s blog over to WordPress as well. This blog and our joint one were getting more and more unresponsive (posts not updating, comments not apearing) and it made sence to update Toni’s from Blogger while we were at it.

I think the header for her site has come out best of all really, she looks fantastic and it fits the page perfectly, well after a little bit of fiddling it did anyway.

Purty ain't it?

Well here it is, the new home for my hopelessly self centred blog.

Having hosted it on Eclipse since it’s inception nearly 5 years ago, I decided the unreliable updates and republishing were really getting a bit too much. It wasn’t so bad at first, but with over 2500 posts it was getting a bit unmanageable. Hopefully now it’s hosted in Wordpress on a propper PHP host it should be a lot easier to admin and play with.

I’ll delete the old blog at some point to free up the space on the old free Eclipse hosting and hopefully set up some kind of forwarding for anyone with old bookmarks and search engines. Hopefully this will get indexed soon enough and the old site will drop off the face of the inter-web.

Goodbye Blogger. You were great while it lasted.

Now I just need to tart this place up a bit…

After nearly 5 years, I’m thinking of ditching the blog thing. Those who know me can now access all the important parts of my life on the Facebook thing, and it’s not as if I update this thing as much as I used to.

Is the whole blog world just a little passé, or have I just got bored with it? I might redevelop this site into something else, now that I have a little one on the way, but not sure what yet.

Your thoughts on the matter?

Well, Blogger has been updated, but still no option to update my account. I suppose I’m stuck on this old system as some kind of punishment for posting so much crap on this site over the last 3 years.

Oh well.

Still no responce from Blogger yet, they’re obviously not as hot as Webhostinguk.com. To be fair, I’m not paying Google for their services, but then again, it’s only 20 quid a year for my hosting…

Well, I finally managed to customise the Nokia Image Uploader so it’ll automatically post onto Blogger, but the only problem is it’s posting the html code verbatim. It’s not allowing it to be posted as a standard blog entry, so you can see the <img src=”http://www… etc.

I’ve posted a query with Blogger support so we’ll see what they have to say about it.

Blogger seems to have sorted itself out and is slightly more responsive (and co-operative) now. Only a, errrr, quintuple post, not a (christ, what’s the adjective for 14?!) huge gert post sesh like some people… hehehehe.

You know’s I’m only pullin’ ya leg Ben. Jeez Blogger sux some times. But to be honest, without PHP or ASP on a server, what you gonna do?

Seriously though, prop’s going out to the Blogger guys, Lord only know’s (well, maybe their techno-geeks) how many active punters they got posting these days.

Looks like Blogger is having problems. I’ve been having difficulty posting for a while, now their front page is dead. Oh dear.

Time for an injection of new servers. Got any spare Google-racks?

Hmmm, blogger’s been playing up for the last hour… Not good. Especially as I’ve just sent a bug report to them about something entirely unrelated.

I have managed to get the avatar up in the top left (only available on the default style sheet) to render propperly in IE finally, so it’ll no longer look all spazzy to the 90% of people who use that dreaded browser.

Slight lack of blogs recently, but as I now have a Blogger shirt there should be a few more coming.
