For those few who make a visit here regularly then you will know I have a habit of changing the theme on the site fairly often. I think, in the near year that it has been up and running, I have been through about 7 different themes and today is the start of another. I can’t help it – it’s an addiction. I like the way it looks and then quickly tire of it.

But – there was more to it this time. Having got the hang of CSS and PHP which makes all this possible, I wanted to enter the murky depths of javascript. I have started out the cheap and simple way of bagging someone elses and then tweaking it although the main routines here are supplied by the great Prototype library added with the effects routines of mo.fx which do all the hard work. But it is a start.

My apologies to the majority of people who still use MS Internet Explorer whether because they have to or through ignorance of what they are missing (i.e, Firefox or Opera for example). This site doesn’t play so well in IE. It is all there but not so pretty. I have grown tired of trying to force my CSS to bend to the peculiarities and non-standards of the ever-appalling IE.

Finally, one of my favourite Mac browsers, OmniWeb, doesn’t like the javascript that much but it wont, hopefully, be for long as they are moving to the Safari webkit with the next near release and Safari plays it well.

Now I’ve got this out of the way and my plugins are all up to date, perhaps I can get down to writing items again!
