My blog was hacked recently, resulting in pharmacy links in RSS feed readers… So took the time today to clean it up and do an upgrade.  Still lots to do, but at least now it’s not going to irritate folks

So, does everything look OK to you? If you spot anything dodgy, would you mind dropping me a line to let me know? Thanks in advance!

Matt’s got a nifty new design, which is nice What a long way he’s come since the days of before B2!! Nice one dude…

Respek for Damien, he’s produced something fresh and easy on the eyes

My previous design lasted for almost half of that time. Despite its shortcomings (lack of a feature-rich CMS) and obvious design flaws, and given the amount of recognition that it received, I became hesitant to change it much. Until the waves of spam attacks began.

Since my blog was running on a bespoke system, it became increasingly difficult and time-consuming to manage, which partly explains why I haven’t been posting as regularly.

So after a tricky data migration and clean-up (the volume of crap I’ve written in the past 6 years is embarrassing), a tiresome metadata capturing process (adding titles and tags to 770 posts), and a couple of design revisions later, this blog has undergone a complete overhaul and is now powered by WordPress 2.5.1 with a super collection of plugins.
