You will see that the layout of the site has changed yet again. This is not down to me being unhappy with the previous design, nor wanting a change of look. This renovation was forced upon me.
Since 2006, I have been using the Blogger tool to update my website. However, this week I learnt the service provided to FTP customers would stop next month. I am one of these customers. The advantage of using FTP to maintain your site is that you have far greater control on what goes on it.
Blogger clearly do not like this and prefers to dictate what should go on the personal websites of their customers. To be fair, they make no money from users like myself (in fact I probably cost them!), so while disappointed with the decision, I can hardly blame them for it.
Instead of remaining with Blogger and allowing them to take control of my website, I took the initiative to install WordPress. Like Blogger, WordPress is a blogging tool. The difference is you are not dependent upon another website to update your own. WordPress is installed on your site’s servers, therefore allowing scope for greater customisation.
I am still getting to grips with WordPress, so expect a few minor tweaks to the site across the next few weeks; although I am generally happy with the layout now.
All the old blogs in the old layout can be accessed via the link in the sidebar. Unfortunately, I was unable to import them into this new site.

If my blog was a child, it would be taking its GCSEs and old enough to legally watch Jaws 3.
That's a scary thought - Jaws 3 was terrible...

I feel that I should clarify a blog post I made yesterday.
The content of the post in question, can best be described by using a famous Donald Trump quote...
"I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall.”
No. Not that one.
"You know, it doesn't really...

You may remember that I experienced a few issues with blog, this week.
If you try to access my website on a daily basis, firstly, what's wrong with you? You clearly have too much time on your hands. Secondly, everything would have appeared fine and dandy for you, both Friday and Saturday. That's because the problems...
