Why is it that people are still doing stupid things on their blogs? Blogging isn’t exactly a “new” thing any more. The things that you can do wrong to annoy your readers have been blogged over and over again, yet still the mistakes are being made.
I feel the need to rant

Delicious Feeds
I’ve just played with a few settings in my Feeburner account for the main article feed from this blog. One of the things that I’ve added is a daily list of links that I’ve added to del.icio.us which I think are interesting. Most of those links are tech related, but every now and then I [...]
Content Duplication
While browsing an unusually large collection of RSS articles this morning I stumbled across this little doozy from the HowToGeek. Being a fan of keyboard shortcuts universally I immediately thought it was cool and tried it out in my copy of Office ‘07. It worked. Sweet!

Some of you noticed that I’d “messed” up the RSS feed for the site yesterday afternoon while mucking around with settings. In fact, I hadn’t messed things up at all. I’m currently torn between giving full content over RSS and wanting to get exact stats on how many people are reading the things that I [...]
Lacking Focus? Give DarkRoom a Spin!
My eternal quest for maximising productivity has recently lead me in the direction of an interesting new application called DarkRoom. Some of you may have heard of this before, and will consider it ‘old news’, but I’m sure there are some readers out there who wouldn’t have heard of it and I feel it’s worth [...]
New Theme - What do you think?

Rotating Banner Pictures
Time for another little poll This new skin that I’ve got going has a funky feature which not only randomises the picture at the top of the page, but allows you to have a selection of random pictures that get rotated after a period of time. At the moment, it’s set to 3 images [...]
A New Look
I was getting sick of the way the site was looking, so I changed it. I know I’ll end up changing it again because I’ll no doubt get sick of looking at the site layout as well, but for now I’m quite happy with it. It’s a hacked version of a theme that I thought [...]
Multi-Page Posts
As you no doubt have guessed, I can be a little verbose from time to time as I’m ranting away So I pondered the possibility of breaking up my posts across multiple pages. I installed a plugin that allows me to break the single post up into a series of pages, and I [...]
Notable
I’ve had a few questions from people asking me why there’s a stack of queer looking icons appearing at the bottom of the blog posts, so I thought I’d post the details so that everyone knows.
The icons appear because of a plugin I recently installed called Notable. Notable is a plugin that generates links [...]
