A meta-post of sorts. I’m in the midst of weblog tweaking fever and am rejigging much of how this site hangs together. I’m adding some new ‘features’, and consolidating a few things to hopefully make it a bit more interesting.

In no particular order, presuming this is of even the slightest bit of interest to anybody other than me!

• I’m going to be consolidating my post categories from the huge list that currently exists. Not quite sure yet, but I think it needs to be less than 10. I don’t use that many of them anyway, and that says everything really. Also because I’d like to get some wickle icons like the vewy cute wuns Dave and Sharon are using at rowerunning.co.uk.

• I’ve re-merged my ‘techie musings’ weblog into this diary. I haven’t posted since last year, and figured it would be better to move to using a technology category here, than there. Way back when, I demerged it because I was struggling with Typepad. Now Wordpress, with the database under the hood, it’s more flexible. So I can make the URL to techiemusings a link through to a ‘technology’ category or somesuch. Right now, it redirects to here. More in due course, including some neat-o wordpress hacking I needed to do to get the subscribe-to-comment bits over too.

• I’ve got some wizzy new plugins on the go. See the ‘Most popular posts’, which is already looking quite peachy for bubbling up some old posts. Also want to bring my flickr page in to the mix a bit more.

• Some style-sheet tweaks are in order to make this a bit more distinctively me…. No, not a dishevelled home-worker driven by nothing more than caffeine….

• I have already upgraded to Wordpress 2.1 - The auto-save feature in the ‘write post’ was worth it alone (alas some of the other compose features aren’t working in Safari). On more than one occasion I’ve lost superb missives to humanity’s detriment, I assure you, when closing a tab by mistake… No longer. You may rejoice at leisure.

Lots more to come. Hopefully the site will continue to grow in useful and interesting ways. I’m still slightly unnerved to see that somewhere between 800 and 1,000 people visit the site every day. Please keep visiting, and please let me know if you have any comments or criticisms regarding what features here!
