trackback spam

April 19th, 2007

I’ve been getting a lot of trackback spam lately. I suppose it could be worse, but it’s only started happening quite recently. I really wasn’t sure what it was at first. I know now that it’s spam. Though it just seems like people are making blogs and filling them with other peoples posts. No advertising [...]


not valid xhtml

March 27th, 2007

A few people were kind enough to offer some advice as to why I have display problems with Internet Explorer as mentioned yesterday. Jennifer Farley said, “It happens to me when I place an image that is wider than the main column in the post.” Im not entirely sure if this happens for me, but [...]


whats the sidebar doing all the way down there? silly IE

March 26th, 2007

I just noticed that my sidebar in Internet Explorer is way down the bottom of the page. As a Firefox user I haven’t noticed this before.

more theme troubles

January 22nd, 2007

I’m really having a lot of trouble getting a WordPress theme I really like. The one I have at the minute ‘Andreas04 2.0‘ was beginning to grow on me, but I’ve just discovered that in each entry page the title (in the top title bar) says the words “Andreas04: Close to Attraction’. My unfortunate lack [...]


blog redesign with widgets

January 12th, 2007

I’m often a little slow at picking up new technology and web design techniques. I’ve only just figured out what a widget is, and then it took much longer to work out how to impliment them on my blog. The last 3 days have been spent going through many sites offering wordpress plugins, widgets and [...]
