Thanks May. Wordpress is pretty good, and pretty easy to set up & get working. Mind you, I’ve never used Moveable Type, so I don’t know how much of a practical difference there is.

My landlord sawed the lock off my new bike, and now I’m careful to chain it to railings, so hopefully it should be ok now. Touch wood…

this is awesome! need to make time to learn more about WordPress… gosh the number of things you’d like to do… the number of things that’s actually done. sigh…

ps sorry to hear about another bike incident… would it help to get a vintage?!

Thanks! The recent comments thing was actually the bit of the new design that took the most fiddling to get right! I used a plug-in that someone else had made, but it didn’t do things the way I wanted, so had to mess around with it a bit…

I think I probably originally got the idea from Antipixel. Do you know it? It’s about the only weblog I read that doesn’t belong to someone I know — an Australian bloke living in Tokyo whose knack for still-life photography I am very, very jealous of.

aye aye cap`n! i noticed the nice itallic heading and simple layout… i really like it! it seems website design has just moved into this horrible designers republic mess of flash rip off lately. i like the recent comments bit at the top of the page, it`s so simple but a great idea!

Why thank you. It’s meant to be a bit like an old ship’s log from the days when ships were made of wood, hence all the classic elegance and the italics.
