Just thought I’d post a quick update on the blog redesign.

I’ve got everything working as it should, and almost everything styled correctly with only the “single post page” and comments page to style and iron out a few bugs.

I’ve packaged it up as a Wordpress theme so that I can make changes easily and keep a versioned backup.

Some info on the theme (for reference):

• Self-contained Wordpress Theme.
• Uses the FlickrRSS Wordpress Plugin.
• Makes use of the Xbox 360 Gamercard Wordpress Plugin.
• Uses icons from Mark James & Joseph North.
• Designed using the 960Grid System by Nathan Smith.
• Powered by Douwe Egberts, Powerade, iTunes and repeated visits to the Wordpress Codex.

I should be finished in the next few days and hopefully will switch it “live” next weekend.

Until then…

I’m still plodding along with the new design, with just the comment page remaining before I start integrating it with Wordpress. I’d ideally like to get it completed this week so that when GTA4 is released I’m not too distracted from the task in hand.

Also, I’ve just orded 4x 43″ Westcott Umbrellas (2 white and 2 silver) from MPEX so that I have a complete home studio for when the babba arrives. Now I need to find myself some umbrella adapters in the UK at a good price (any recommendations are welcome).

Finally, it was also good to see some familiar names like Ian and Neil in the comments recently - thanks for the comments guys.
