Hey Durga, yes, being sick over Xmas sucked. The other half spent basically the whole time with her family, so visiting may have been difficult anyway. Looking forward to seeing the Saunders boy.

Liam, you certainly get around mate. I think you were also involved in what sounds like quite a horrific criminal act over here recently, apparently.

Damian, good to have you back. I monitored your duck exploits with interest – must have been a pretty amazing experience over there. Look forward to your thoughtful comments.

Looks like a good move to me, Guy. Good on ya. I’m back in Oz and back on the interwebs now, so you can expect me to call by here more frequently than I did over at Polemica.

Kevin, good news about Firefox. You can get a free WordPress blog from WordPress.com (e.g. kevinrennie.wordpress.com), or otherwise, there are a few hosts around the joint that offer hosting together with a one-click install for WordPress. In lieu of free time, I have opted for the latter. I guess from what you and Liam are saying, in some respects I am blessed to have a somewhat unique name.

If you want something relatively simple to blog with, WordPress might be a good option. To someone who is more used to mucking around in HTML and sorting things out that way it seems a bit restrictive, but if you are keen to stay out of the techo muck, it may well be the way to go.

Liam… heh heh, yes, very true. There must be many, many Liam Hogans out there. Gravatars sound like a good idea – that’s something I’ll have to look into sorting out.

Helen, thanks! I am a bit of a small fontophile so hopefully I will not cause anyone any eye strain, least of all myself. I’ll see how things go. I will change the Errata heading – cheers.

Congrats on your new home, Guy. The site looks like a nice clean read in Firefox, except that I had to increase the text size, but I often have to do that anyway. Your permanent links such as “About” are under a heading “Errata” so you need to change the heading – apart from that it’s lookin’ good!

Could be worse, mate, you could share your name with a Limerick wedding photographer and with a bloke who performs in leather bars in San Francisco. Look the other mes up.
The site looks good for me too. Bring on the gravatars though…

Everything seems to be working fine on Firefox. I’ve been thinking of changing to WordPress. Any suggestions.

I’m a great believer in the public persona even though lots of sites want pseudonyms or anonymous user names. Unfortunately I share a name with a prominent US Republican commentator and ex-politician. Even the same middle initial. There is also a senior IT bureaucrat in Britian and I have received email intended for him.

See you on Facebook.
