This blog is going to be a year old in a few weeks time, so I’m thinking of giving it an overhaul. In order to play around with it on my PC, rather than on the main server, I downloaded and installed EasyPHP1.8, which gives me a local web server to play around on. Install Perl as well, backup my site from my ISP, download and install it locally, and I can tweak settings to my hearts content without inconveniencing anyone who happens to look at the site in the meantime. If anyone does, of course.
I’ve found a plugin for Movable Type which lets me put a quick and simple blogroll on the side, which I’m going to do. Other changes will be losing the links thing on the right, as I hardly ever updated it anyway, and removing the facility for trackback pings, because they only ever generated spam. Every time I look at my stats all I can see is online casinos and porn sites trying to link to me.
Redesigning the site is certainly keeping me busy, I’m using this colour scheme generator to work out how to get it to look cohesive and not like an accident in a paint shop, remember folks, less is more.
Also stumbled across a bloggercode generator on my travels. Apparently my blogger code is:
B4 d+ t+ k– s- u– f- i– o++ x- e- l c+
and if you want to know what that all means, copy and paste it into here and it’ll tell you.
