Looks like I have found what I will be doing over the four day Xmas break, giv­ing Word­Press 2.0 Release Candidate3 a spin.

Got poin­ted to the Per­form­an­cing for exten­sion Fire­fox which makes blog­ging easy from within Fire­fox. Just giv­ing it a spin and see how it goes.  Easy to set up for Word­Press and looks easy to use, only con­cern is how much will appear in the sum­mary sec­tion on the home page.

Sorry about the infre­quent post­ing, I Usu­ally write my posts on the bus, but with fre­quency of my cyc­ling com­mutes increas­ing, I am los­ing blog­ging time. Not that the ride time is wasted, it is a got time to think clearly and organ­ise my thoughts. Only trouble is by the time I get home after bat­tling the sea breeze all I want is a hot shower, food and sleep and not sit­ting in front of a com­puter. So I am going to have to find other time in day to blog and play with this site.

Which is part of the prob­lem, I need to play with the site, I wrote a couple of posts on the bus before the power­book took a vaca­tion and they both had prob­lems with my stylesheet, noth­ing dra­matic, but it just needs debug­ging along with an IE lay­out issue.

Kay said some nice things about Flock so I thought I bet­ter take it for a spin. It was also time to invest­ig­ate a replace­ment for the Sage RSS reader in Fire­fox I have been hav­ing some odd prob­lems there lately and my first attempt at a replace­ment with Oran­goo was an inter­est­ing exper­i­ence. And it was also time to tidy up my book­marks and make use of my del.icio.us account.

Things have been a little quiet round here lately, mainly because I write most of my posts on the unin­teruppted 35 minute bus ride to and from work. How­ever in the last week the rides have been spent invest­ig­at­ing RSS aggreg­at­ors and test­ing them on my trusty powerbook.

What I am look­ing for is to take feeds from a vari­ety of sources and put them into a single feed or feeds.

For those of you read­ing the RSS feed, you will of noticed a change from sum­mary
to full posts. I have made the change because of the num­ber of people tak­ing the
RSS feeds. Don’t worry if you want to keep the sum­mary feeds because they are
still available.

Why do I blog?

Well it is all Tommy Ols­son’s fault.

I read a dozen or more blogs on web stand­ards, CSS, XHTML etc on a daily basis, and .…
