I’m still tweaking the theme (minor stuff) and still thinking about rearranging the way I link to and/or display the galleries (major stuff). Any feedback or suggestions are welcome but in the meantime, please bear with me No, not the housework variety, I’m allergic to that This Wordpress template - Atahualpa - is amazingly versatile and I’ve only just scratched the surface. The guy who coded it also runs a phenomenally helpful forum, so good that even a pretend geek like me (the sort who knows of CSS as opposed to about CSS!) managed to do all the tweaking just by going through the options - rather a lot of options - and the included info & help, and by searching the forum when I got stuck. I thoroughly recommend taking a look at it if you’re looking at new template options yourself. Spring itself sorta came and went this year, didn’t it? We had great weather in April, yet recently it’s been dull, grey, and with a vicious cold wind a lot of the time. Brrrr! I managed a few very pleasant days out in the warm sunshine - camera at the ready - and some of the results are included in the new gallery I’ve just added. Even better, I’m also beginning to get the hang of my macro lens and a few of the pics I’m pleased with are also in that gallery. Big thumbs up to the wonderfully talented guys who hang out on the Macro Forum at FredMiranda. Their work is inspiring and so many of them are incredibly generous with advice on technique. Now, if I could only get over my dislike of bugs enough to attempt a few bug photos …… It worked! *phew* I’m exhausted Cyber cookies for the first person to comment with the correct number of header images in use … because I am just about to change the blog. *gulp* I’ve found a wonderful theme to play with (tell you all about it later) but the crunch will come as I try and replicate all the customisations I’ve made on a test site to this live site. So if things are a tad, umm, unusual, for the next short while (I hope it will be a short while), bear with me. All of the above occurred recently. Oh, joy. We had a duff ‘net connection for weeks, yet BT kept telling me - after testing the phone line - that there was nothing wrong with it. Grump. I changed the microfilters. Then I changed the cables. Then I went to a lot of trouble to connect the router directly to the master socket in order to eliminate internal wiring. Then I changed the router. Finally, risking a big bill from BT, I called in an engineer. Guess what? The line from the pole to the house was in such a poor condition that he said it was a miracle we had any connection at all. Grump. Line replaced, great connection, no more crackling on voice calls. Happy Gill. For a while …….. |

More the blog variety. I’m really pleased with the new lighter, cleaner look although still planning on doing a little more tweaking.
