I’m wrestling with various css and php files at the moment as I try and make a couple of WordPress blogs do what I want them to. As brilliant as Dreamweaver is, I actually just want to make these small changes in text edit, yet every time I got distracted and double clicked, up popped [...]

I checked my facebook account this morning, and a friend had drawn on my graffiti wall. Of all the millions of new apps on facebook, this is one of the few that I think is worth adding. But now it’s even better! I noticed a replay button at the bottom, allowing you to watch the [...]

No major changes, just tweaked the sidebars a bit, tried a couple of new plug-ins (most of which were promptly switched off), added a clustermap and (hopefully) sent all the RSS feeds via Feedburner. If you’re reading this fine in your reader then it worked. And if it didn’t then you won’t be reading this [...]

I’m about to make some changes to the site, including a plugin that will hopefully move all the feeds coming from the blog to the one that feedburner tracks. There is a slim chance this will knock out some existing feeds you’re subscribed to. If this happens, please accept my apologies, you may need to [...]

I’ve been getting snatches of the fear over the last couple of days. Seven days to go and I need to get loads sorted. This is going to get printed out and stuck in my draw for those moments.

I really enjoyed taking part in Dan’s four slide competition (announcement of joint winning entries here and here, third here, and the one that almost won here). And I’ve been particularly interested by his analysis of a couple of the entries and suggestions on how they could have been improved (see here and here so [...]

I’ve been talking to Chris Craft about getting involved in his amazing digital story telling project ‘Life round here’. I need to check the availability of computer rooms, and what software we’ve got but I really want to get my new SMART class involved in this fantastic international project. If you haven’t already heard about [...]

Over the Summer I’ve almost doubled the number of blogs in my feed reader. I’m in no doubt that they will be pruned back once school starts, but for now I’m quite enjoying the variety that’s making up my daily reading. I don’t normally blog each new addition (although I will republish my feed list [...]

OK. Crisis may be overstating it slightly, but I’ve been thinking hard this week about what I’m blogging here, after I started questionning my use of twitter. I love twitter and I love the fact that’s humanising the blogging community that I increasingly feel a part of. But I have felt a bit guilty about [...]

Walking back from dropping the car off for it’s MOT I was reading through today’s Guardian which contains this excellent piece by Peter Wilby entitled ‘It’s time to give up our Groucho Marx attitude to A-level results’. Well worth checking out, I can’t understand why it’s so hidden on their website. Key ideas for me: [...]
