It’s a slightly worrying place, applying for new jobs. I’m lucky, in that I have family to support me, but it’s still a bit dispiriting sending job applications into the ether and keeping your fingers crossed. But today I got an invitation to interview in just over a weeks time – lovely to know that [...]

*Sweeps dust and cobwebs away, lots of coughing* So it’s been a really long time without posting, but it seems time to start again. Since last posting I got a new job and moved to Wales, and then got made redundant a few weeks ago. So it’s back to job-hunting for me. In the meantime I’ve [...] So I’m trying my hand at adding a widget to the sidebar. I’ve managed (after a lot of trial and error) to add this one in (showing books), and I’m getting there. I can add it in ok, but I’m having fun figuring out how NOT to mess up the CSS. It’s not too bad [...] So I’ve decided I don’t like my website. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with the content (even if it is woefully out of date), and I definitely want a website (if only because the address is listed in my book), but I’m not happy with the look of the site. I designed it a [...] Spring has sprung, so I really need to knuckle down and give both the website and this blog a more cheerful theme – hopefully fairly soon. This could be the time when I finally knuckle down and learn enough html to write my own theme for the website – but don’t hold your breath! I’ve [...] I know, I know. I should post more often, especially as the backlog of photos is building up of things I’ve beaded or knitted, and places I’ve been too. However I got my new work computer hooked up to the network today, meaning that I’m not stuck on the sloooooow computer, and I’ve got over [...] The snow is still lingering in places, despite the fact it’s been raining most of today, and it looked beautiful for my birthday. I had a lovely time, spent fairly quietly with family. My grandparents came to visit for the day (I hadn’t seen them for about a year) and we caught up on family [...] Well, the NTL man was waiting for me when I got back home, and I am now connected!! He wasn’t able to set me up for digital TV which I had wanted, as my TV was built around about the dark ages, but I now have internet and phone set up. This means I have [...] So Dad’s finally started writing in the blog he set up ages ago. I’d comment in it, but I can’t log in So, I’ve just found out how to upload a new theme, which gives me a chance to get rid of the blue and white, and try something new. I’m also having a good look at the source as part of my quest to figure out how to write my own layout. So, I’m having a [...] Hooray!! I’ve finally updated my web site. It’s not as good an update as I’d like – I’ve got loads of content I still want to put up there (photos of my other crafty stuff, book shop, tutorials) – but that’s just going to have to wait until the thesis is out of the way. [...] I know, I know. It’s been a while since I added to the blog, and even longer since I updated my website. In my defence I will say that I’ve been giving the site a spring face-lift, so won’t be updating until that’s finished, but I’ve been working on that for the last 3 or [...] So I’ve been upgraded to the latest version of the word press weblog, but I’m still not too sure how to make changes on it. This could be it. I may have to learn html I’ve just been updating my website, the links page has a few more links added, and I’ve updated the about me page. The about page now has photos of all of us on it, but they’re not very recent |
