Forced Update and Re-align

I got hacked again, so I finally up-graded to Wordpress 2.2 in the hope that it will stop this happening a third time. As a result I’ve also had to update the sites look. I know there is a K2 that works with the newer version of Wordpress but I decided to look else where. So what you are seeing is the beginnings of the latest look for Electric Weekend. It’s based on Depo Clean by Derek Powazek but I hope to modify it a bit more before it’s called final. There’s a few bits which need tweaking and some other bits that need adding (navigation!) but here is the new look for EW. I hope you like it for the time being.

I really like it. I am a huge fan of simplicity, hence the new look on my blog.

I can’t wait to see the final version :-) .

Whoops, forgot to say about the hacking. I got too involved with the new theme :-P .

I hope that you don’t get hacked again, it must be so frustrating. I will be keeping my fingers crossed! I would imagine that you would be ok now that you have WP 2.2.

Thanks Aidan. I really hope it doesn’t happen again, I guess it’s a lesson learnt to keep totally up to date with software!

I like the way your new look is going, hadn’t dropped into the actual site recently and it was a pleasant surprise!

Ha, thanks Shawn. It is starting to feel a bit more me around here with each iteration of EW. I’m still fighting with navigation, I may go for something a bit different I think.

Thanks Phil :-) . This is a little off topic so I do apologise.
How have your exams been going? I thought that I would ask seeing as you mentioned to me on my blog that you have had exams, and quite a few from what I understand.

Phil, this looks sweet! I really like it. Sorry I haven’t been around lately, I guess I’ve missed a lot. What didi they do when you got hacked?

@Nick, No worries mate, things are very busy this end of the net as well. With regards to the hack they just dropped and index.html file that overrode my index.php. Nothing too threatening that I can tell.

@Aidan, I’ve not had exams but have had a shed load of deadlines to contend with. It’s my final show tomorrow so I’m finishing things off at the moment, it’s a bit hectic and I go to London on Monday for another show there.

[...] two things caused me to re-do my blog. The first was being hacked and the upgrade to version 2.2 of Wordpress. The upgrade broke the theme I had running which was a slightly skinned version of K2, and whilst [...]
