Well that again was very painless….. The latest WP upgrade has been installed and, as I managed to post this, there doesn’t appear to have been a problem. If you do notice anything odd when visiting, feel free to let me know.

Anyone who’s been following me moaning on about the lack of Remote Desktop hosting in the Home Premium versions of Vista and Windows 7 will be pleased to know that those very clever folk over at The Green Button seem to have cracked the problem.

The single thing which causes most problems for the WordPress users I know is uploading and positioning images in their posts. Hopefully I have found a solution which will make things quite a bit easier – it’s called “Freebie Images” and is a WP plugin – you can get it here. I just installed it [...]

Out here in the sticks I have often moaned about the speed of my BT connection. Now I have proof thanks to the survey I have been helping with. About a year ago I applied to help with a UK broadband speed survey at SamKnows, I now have access to the results and can see [...]
