Anything geeky (being geeky isn’t a bad thing)

New Look

I decided to do a bit of work on a new look for this site on Monday. I began just messing about in Firefox using Firebug and I was attempting to see how easy it would be to mimic the look and feel of a few sites I’ve seen recently. It wasn’t long before I’d got the basis of a new theme installed on my local copy of WordPress and the natural progression would be to test out on a live site, like here.

I’ve managed to do it (last night) but I had to do a fair bit of Googling to find a solution that worked for me.

Videos in their own Space

I re-thought the way the blog works this afternoon. It somehow seems more appropriate that any videos I post appear in their own space. So, I made it so.
