Blog Update
Last week has been a busy week, and I haven't posted much, or responded to comments as quickly as I would like. Sorry about that folks.
Amongst other things I have been taking my blogging time in setting up a new blogging platform (Wordpress) which I will have up and running in a couple of weeks (you can check it out here, but please don't leave any comments there yet!). I will transfer over all the posts and comments from this site at some point, so all our conversations won't be lost. I hope it will be a better site for keeping track of all the different discussions going on. More info on that to follow, and I will let you know when I have fully set up and transferred to the new site.
The next two weeks I am not going to be online much, and at points I will not have internet access. So I might post another one or two posts during this time, but may not reply to comments as quick as I would normally like to. Full service will resume on 16th April!!!!
Thanks for making this an interesting place to learn together.

Can you briefly blog on your reasons for switching to wordpress? It it just better all round?
Yes i think so, but still free. Typepad you have to pay for. Wordpress does seem to take a bit of setting up ... it has plugins you have to load, so a little knowledge does help, but here are some of the things i have been looking for:
* RSS feed for comments as well as posts
* list of recent comments
* able to have some pages (at top) with useful info that never changes)
* categories that cascade .... so i can have a few main categories, but lots of sub categories.
* i have a plugin that allows for people to get an email with all additional comments, if they have left a comment on a post.
* i can now have threaded comments - ie people can reply to the original post, or to a comment that someone makes.
* it is much more customizable than blogger (themes etc)
I hope it will help everyone keep track of the discussions going on better, and provide a better user experience!
Thanks...I find this stuff kinda interesting :-)
"thank you for making this an interesting place" - right back at ya ;)
enjoy the holiday
