• The site gets a face-lift

    For the few of you still coming here on a regular basis, you may have noticed the site has had a bit of a face-lift in recent days.

    The old design had been in use for a few years, it was based on a very old version of WordPress and was also using quite muddled code (largely because I took an existing theme and hacked it to pieces with dodgy some HTML of my own).

    I wanted to put the latest version of WP on here and I decided it was the perfect excuse for an overhaul of the design too. Unfortunately I had trouble upgrading the database and ended up having to create a new one, transfering the old blog over to it once it was set up.

    This has meant that a lot of information got lost in translation, not least categories, tags and many comments. Hopefully it won’t have a huge effect on other parts of the site – like the links that are out there on Google or the RSS feed etc. but time will tell on that front.

    I’m in the process of cleaning up what I can but with over 400 posts on the site it may take a while. The same applies to the Portfolio section which was always badly neglected and is, as you can see, years out of date at this stage.

    Hopefully I’ll have time to put the house in order in the weeks ahead and I also hope to actually start posting on the site regularly again. I’ve been quite busy with real work and with teic.ie in the last little while and twitter has been my outlet for any short thoughts I might otherwise have blogged.

    As a result I’ve not been writing anything on media recently. I hope I’ll be able to rectify that soon.
