Am currently attempted to upgrade to the latest version of Wordpress (2.6) and implement some changes around here.  As always, apologies for any funky weirdness - normal service will resume soon!

…my little home on the webs is undergoing an upgrade and some changes!

As a blogger I try not to write things in my blog which people I actually know would prefer not to be public knowledge.  And I also try not to include too much detail which may identify the people I talk about on here.  I hope not to upset people by writing things which are incorrect or otherwise may be inappropriate.

I try, I don’t always succeed.

Equally, I believe that it’s important that I am honest and open here.  So I don’t censor too much other than as I described above.

Sometimes doing stuff like that comes back and bites you on the bum.  And I’ve been thinking a lot about should I write about so and so and such stuff this evening.

I deleted my previous post at my mums request following a heated discussion.  It’s the first time I have ever  deleted a post at someone else’s asking.

It may well have been inappropriate for me to post that here.  And I upset a few people for which I am sorry.  All I can say in my defense was that I was under the impression that everyone involved had already been told and that I tried not to identify anyone.  Had I been aware that I was actually one of the first to be told I would never have written it.

I’m sorry.  I can’t say any more.

I think I might be going to take a bloggy break for a few days and consider the future of this blog.

I’m updating wordpress to 2.5 - normal service will resume as soon as possible!

I’m upgrading to the latest version of wordpress and making some changes around here this afternoon.  Just a warning in case I break my blog.

I don’t know how many of you read this through an RSS reader but one things I do know is that page updates don’t show up in them.

So FYI in case you hadn’t noticed, I updated my 101 in 1001 page today and will be updating it again in a few days as a couple more things are almost done.  I’ll write more about that another day, but the current total is 35 things done.

I’ve also deleted some of my other pages and radically altered my “about me” page.

Finally I created two new pages - Books in 2008 and Crafty Projects.  I don’t really think either of those need any explanation.

And because I am now intrigued, tell me in the comments how you read/follow my blog.  Personally, if your blog has an RSS feed that’s probably how I read it.

OK, so most of this site design is actually CSS and not HTML but I couldn’t resist using that title! Kind’ve a play on words, so to speak.

I’ve been working on this new layout every day since Thursday and with it have learnt how to do several new things with WP and also some CSS which I’ve not worked with before. I am beyond pleased with it and very, very excited. It’s kind of hard to believe that it’s just the basic Kubrick theme seriously hacked to pieces and put back together with extras and in a different order.

In case you don’t know what Kubrick looks like, we’ve gone from this…

To this…

So it’s all pretty much about the yayness right now.

I’m currently giving this blog a huge overhaul and redesign.  So please excuse the fact that I’ve been changing my theme about every five minutes and the fact that in places it’s a mess of code.

I’m very excited because I figured out how to do several things new with the layouts.

To celebrate the fact that I upgraded to the latest version of wordpress and not only is it working properly, it’s the first time in about six months I’ve upgraded and not had it go slightly wrong… I thought I would share a few links (because working WP means I can use the VRE and not code the links myself, yay!)

Nelba over at Chocolachillie wrote a post about perspectives to medical care and disability and life in general (I guess).  It’s well worth a read.  And it’s called Cheap Shoes Always Squeak which is just the best blog post title I have read in, basically, forever.

Kathryn’s Ryn Tale’s blog is always worth a read.   She makes me think and I like blogs that make me thing.  From The Outside In touches on a topic that I have wanted to write about for a few weeks now but obviously does it much better than I ever could.  Still when I’m over this random viral thing I seem to have I will give it a try.

Pedestrian Hostile held the latest Disability Blog Carnival.  It’s theme was Simply The Best (does anyone else get a mad urge to run around the house singing Tina Turner when they read that or is it just me?!).  I need to find some time to read more of the contributions but absolutely loved the ones I read so far.

If someone could tell me the name of the song in Moulin Rouge that goes on about how “We Could Be Heroes” (forever and ever…) I would love them for at least the next day or so.   Because The Goldfish wrote a post of the same name and now I have the song in my head.

I’m currently upgrading Wordpress and doing some other behind the scenes work on this blog. In theory you shouldn’t notice any problems but if you do please be patient and I’ll get things up and running properly again as quickly as possible.
