Away again? Buying a house, and Spam
Again, I have to apologise for being away from my site for a while. But buying a house is by far the most stressful, time consuming, and irritating “project” that I’ve ever attempted. From structural surveys to getting mortgage protection, each … Continue reading

Slight redesign efforts…
As is I am the eternal tweaker, I’d like to apologise for the state of the site at the minute. I doing some work so show a number of categories on the front page but having a little trouble. I have it displaying my travel posts in a small area on the bottom left of the main page. I’m just trying to come up with the best way of formatting it so that it looks slightly different from the main posts, so that it neither takes away from them but would eventually draw people to click on them… So not a small task.
I’m also working on the gallery section of the site. I’m looking to use the flickr API to help me with that. But that wont be working for at least another week. After that is complete, on the bottom right of the front page I’m going to display a random picture or maybe a square of maybe 4 thumbnails. When I get to that stage I’ll have to look into what works best.
Im also looking t the menu on the right hand side. I’d like to maybe separate it from the main content. Again I don’t want it to be a distraction but I’d like people to know that it was there 
But maybe they already do? hmmm… I think I might introduce a mootool effect in here too to Liven the menu up but then it might just be adding it for the sake of adding it. We’ll see how it goes.
So overall I think the the white may be changing with a light grey taking up most of it but I’m not really decided yet – I’ll put the two of them together and let the irish webmaster community give me their feelings on the two options.
Anyway – Apologies for the state of the site at the minute and we’ll then get back to our 6 month change intervals…
