This blog has been over-due for a makeover for a while but for a number of reasons I delayed action. One reason was that I wanted to work with someone local who could supply WordPress support.
Then I found Andy Moyle in Kings Lynn, and the re-design flowed. I like the fact that this blog has been made in West Norfolk.
Let's also be honest: Andy lived within my limited ambition for change, but behind the scenes it feels like things are a lot more under control now. And when you blog a lot that's important.
Thanks Andy. He can be contacted here.

Like the new look of the blog, although your photograph seems now somewhat larger!
One request please:
Previously using the search facility would bring up the results with the total number of comments that have been posted identified. This seems to have been lost.
It’s there if the search is not used with the number in white on a red square background with a quote type pointer at the bottom centre, but use the search and it goes.

Looks good, Richard – thanks – but any chance of returning the Twitter feed box? It flagged up numerous interesting linked comments and byways.
It’s back!
The comment number speech bubble now appears on search results!

Like the new look, Richard.
Sorry, I have to say I preferred the old style.
I don’t find the new font as easy on the eye as the old one and I preferred to be able to read full articles rather than needing to click to see the full item, then click the back button to go back to the previous page, work out where I was up to so that I can find the next article and then go through the whole process again. It just seems less user friendly to me.
If you are sticking with this and you aren’t going to show the full article on the main page it would be nice if the sub-pages at least had a link for Next Article and Previous Article.
You just can’t please all the people all of the time. 🙂
I’m looking at the title font, where I tend to agree
I am torn on the summaries or not….other people are annoyed having to scroll down through a long article to find the next one
Anyone else got an opinion?
Thanks
Hi, I also prefer being able to read the whole article in one go. I normally visit the site once or twice a week; you are a prolific writer and it is a little tedious to have to click on every item. The new format would work if you used a twitter style to summarise the full point of the subsequent comment in the visible space.
Thanks anyway for keeping up the lively debate.
