The Blog of G

It’s true, just ask Elly. So when I realised that I needed to update my wardrobe a bit for the impending honeymoon, I got into my usual sulk at the thoughts of what was in store.

Still at least this time I don’t have to go looking for T-shirts as well, thanks to T-Shirt Hell. I have ordered off them before to check the size and quality etc. so I just logged in and bought a load of great T’s in no time. Job done. Well, except for the trousers, shoes, Shirts and Jackets that I apparently “need” :p

There are some designs on there site that I would never wear for obvious taste reasons, (in fact some would say they are not suitable for public consumption) but they are all funny and they’re great quality T’s as well.

Still it got me to thinking about which of T-shirt hell’s shirts would most suit my favourite ‘local’ blogger.

or how about

and finally, the one that I think is probably gonna get me in trouble

So have I got it right or have I just seriously insulted my new wife? time and the comments will tell

Yup, that’s how I feel about it right now. I spent some time with my blog today for the first time in ages. I upgraded to the latest version, installed a few plug-ins. I also tried to sort out my sidebar issues again, I had hoped that the upgrade might fix it for me but alas no

So I’ve been investigating and it seems that there is something in certain posts that is causing the sidebars to vanish from the page. There are a few common threads with these posts…

1. They were all written in Wordpress “rich text editor”
2. They all contain images
3. They were all saved as drafts and edited over an number of sittings

For now I’m just not going to use the Rich text editor, hopefully as I post more and the effected posts move off the front page the issue will become less prominent. I guess I’ll just have to live with it, until I work out whats causing it.

On the upside, the new plug-ins mean people can now digg my posts if they feel the need and I have some added colour thanks to the images feed. The new category cloud in the sidebar looks so much better than that horrible mess that I used to have and I finally have a functioning Spell-checker, I’m sure I’ll hear all about it if it’s not up to the task

It’s one of those things that bugs me about technology at times, it’s just not as simple as we’d like it to be. There’s a lot more going on with modern technology than most of us realise and it just doesn’t always do what we expect or want it to. That said It’s great to have the technology working for us… most of the time anyway.

oh jaysus, I’ve read about some weird/tasteless product idea’s in my time but this doesn’t just take the biscuit, it takes the pack, the box the pack came in, the delivery truck, the factory and the farmers that grew the grain.

Thanks Anthony… I think
