This blog looks different today.<\/p>\n
The old design was tired - tired looking and tired in web terms. WordPress software demanded that things moved on, so move on they are.<\/p>\n
The basic look and feel of the blog as it will now be apparent from what you're reading now.<\/p>\n
That all is not quite right yet will be equally apparent. The blog will be down again tonight for further work to take place. I'm told this stuff is horrible - I have no clue why. There are limits to my ability!<\/p>\n
But there's more to the redesign than just updating the visual impression. From tomorrow (I hope - depending on my able assistant's fatigue tonight) there should be a Twitter feed box in the right hand column. This will reflect a change in focus. I intend to use Twitter much more to highlight stories found elsewhere - and which will now appear only on Twitter and in the Twitter feed box. The blog itself will highlight my stuff in that case.<\/p>\n
That saves time, gets the message out quicker, and diversifies the audience. I hope.<\/p>\n
It also says, please get on Twitter and follow @RichardJMurphy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Oh, and my considerable thanks to Clark Gascoigne<\/a> for sweating midnight oil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
