Spring cleaning May 25

It’s that time of year when the blog needs a bit of a spruce up. It’ll carry on changing a bit over the next few days, but first off I’ve switched to a fresher-looking two column theme. I hope it will make posts a bit easier on the eye.

Pages return Feb 20

I’ve managed to reinstate WordPress pages (e.g., my gig list) by creating new pages and pasting the text into them. This didn’t work before I upgraded to WordPress 2 so something there must have fixed the problem.
