Blog top bar almost done

Recently i mentioned i wanted to update my blog design and add in new features. All evening i’ve been tampering with the design of this blog. I’ve been adding new bits, taking bits out until i came out with this: As you can see i’ve added a top bar, consisting of three collums, two of which are occupied by ‘Recent Posts’ and ‘Popular Posts’. I think having these...

How i got into blogging, who inspired me

I mentioned early this week that i was going to tell you how i got into blogging and who inspired me. I will answer those questions now. This time last year i didn’t know what a blog was until i ran into Smemon’s blog. I was searching on Google for website ideas because i wanted to see what ideas are out there and start a website, develop myself from there, after all i was studying web...

I had no internet last night

Yes thats right, my internet went off last night due to a local exchange problem. That meant i couldn’t update my blog. I tried calling my ISP and they said it was an exchange problem so i had to sit there and wait for it to come back on. Last night i witnessed life without the internet and i was bored, very bored. I went on my Playstation 3 for a bit, but i got bored of that too because i...

I don’t visit other blogs as often

I visit smaller blogs on a daily basis including Smemon. I’ve no idea why i don’t visit these massive blogs anymore. Is it because i know everything? Do i have enough time to visit them while...

Sorting the blog out

Today i’ve been sorting the blog out as i ran into a number of problems recently. I’ve put in a request to Google to remove my tag directory because they still have it indexed when i don’t want them to, this was a mistake i did. If you haven’t noticed i’ve added a ‘Similar Posts’ plugin which basically displays a list of similar posts underneath the actual post....

Burnley vs Watford 01-03-08 feedback

What a busy day it was yesterday. I drove to Burnley with 2 friends to watch Burnley v Watford. After that i had to get home quickly as i could as i was going to a meal for my friend’s wife birthday, the table was booked for 8pm and i got home at 7pm. So as soon as i got home i had to get ready and go straight to the restaurant. Yes, i was very tired and i still am, an early night tonight for me,...

Burnley vs Watford 01-03-08

I probably won’t be blogging much tomorrow (or today if i dont write this post in time) because i’m going to watch Burnley take on Watford in the afternoon, and then in the evening i’m going to a party. It’s going to be a busy day tomorrow. I will try and get some blogging done in the morning but i can’t promise anything. Who do i think will win tomorrow? Watford. I...
