Big changes are afoot, and amongst other things I made a hasty return to blogging last month. Please avert your eyes from the many things which are currently a bit shabby about this blog. I’ll get around to fixing them soon.

UPDATE: Feb 2007, moved to Wordpress.

Here’s a list of things I should get around to changing. If you spot any other imperfections please leave a comment and I’ll add them to the list:

• The design was rushed and overall I’m not happy with it. It’s not well thought out good design, and it’s not deliberately simple. Needs attention.
• I’m keen to try MeasureMap to track traffic around my blog, but it seems to be delayed into Beta. I hope to install it asap.
• Comment textarea text is too small to read it as you type. Looks like the same can be said of code text too!
• The ‘post’ and ‘preview’ comment buttons have a ? either side of them for some reason.
• Why not just have a live comment preview?
• When you post a comment you need to refresh your browser to see it on the page. Is this a known issue with other MovableType blogs? It happens on my wife’s and my brother-in-law’s too, both of which are on the same installation as this blog.
• Comments aren’t well formatted.
• Enable Gravatars on comments
• strong text shouldn’t be a different colour to plain text.
• Perhaps a search function. Live search?
• The main nav is too spaced out in Internet Explorer.
• Links to category and date archives have .html on the end. I’d like to get rid of this unneccesary cruft.
• I should put section headers within the main nav.
