Aidan has been looking for a name for his blog and in the process of asking for some inspiration from his readers, he asked why our blogs are called what they are. I started to answer the question in a comment but as I was doing it I realsied it might take a little [...]
The last week or so I have been trying to write my dissertation, I’ve actually made progress as well, but it’s kind of caused me to neglect writing anything meaningful up here on the blog. It’s saddened me a little, as I’ve been enjoying all things blog related recently.
The trouble has been, that as [...]
I use tagging here on Electric Weekend in order to filter and sort my content and for some reason lately I have been reading/seeing a lot of stuff about it. I’ve kind of developed a new understanding for how tags should be used, and as a result I want to remove/streamline some of my [...]
Incase you haven’t noticed I have amde a couple of alterations to the header of my blog. I’ve wanted to do it for a while just not had time, but with handing in a project yesterday I now have slightly more free time than i did have. I’ve had a little tinker with [...]
I just added a subscribe to comments via email plugin. As far as I can tell it’s all working properly, but if it’s not please let me know. I also added a related posts plugin to the sidebar, but it doesn’t seem to be showing anything. If anyone knows of a related [...]
The last few days of blogging have been very enjoyable! Very enjoyable indeed!
I want to thank a few people for making it so fun over the last few days. It’s not just been through interaction here, although that has been a big part in why I have enjoyed it so much, but it’s [...]
Yup, I’m now on Twitter. The idea was to have my status show up in the sidebar of my blog, but I seem to be having some feed issues and it’s not displaying. I’m using Twitterrific to update my status, if you are a twitterer then please feel free to add me.
I know, I said it wouldn’t be but it seems to have turned into one. I spent a bit of time having a break from uni work mocking up the homepage and I’m really happy with it. I won’t show you what it will look like, but I have a feeling I may [...]
I just realised that some of the early posts I imported here from my original Blogger blog were not sorted into categories. I’ve now gone through and categorised those posts, they now sit in one of the 5 that I have. I do however need to go through and tag those posts as [...]
I’ve noticed a lot recently that many bloggers are giving their sites a live re-design. As prompted by my recent post Why Blog? I went back to a stock K2 install. I’ve since made a few tweaks and plan to make many more, it occured to me that it might look like I [...]
Recently I have wanted to blog a lot more than I have done. It’s been interesting kind of situation where I have wanted to blog, but once I have sat down at my iMac/iBook I have just not been able to think of what it is I want to say. It’s prompted me [...]
My blog is steadily evolving and changing, recently you will have seen my design change and alter slightly. The Ma.gnolia links have gone (you can still find them here) and I am now using asides or notes as I call them to a greater extent. I felt I wanted these links I highlight [...]
Well I guess if you are reading this you will notice that I have returned to the old boots of Electric Weekend. I am using the theme which Ben coded for me, although I am making a few changes to it. The portfolio section, which to be honest never got off the [...]
So, anyone who visits my site often will have noticed a bit of a change to the clothes of Electric Weekend. It’s not because I have gotten bored of my other theme, it’s because I am in support of an initiative that started at the beginning of October. Now, yes, I know I [...]
So over the weekend, 28th August, my ventures in the world of blogging turned 1 year old and it’s certainly been an interesting year.
On the 28th August I opened my blogger account and started with this post. It was a humble beginning and only really happened because I was bored. After coming across [...]
Just a quick post to warn of any funkiness over the coming weeks(s). Ben of Open Switch fame is coding up my redesign of this site. I don’t really know much of what this entails, but I imagine you may experience some sneak previews of the design. Keeps your eyes peeled.
Well it’s been a bit quiet around here of late. Largely because I haven’t really had a lot to talk about, well I mean not had stuff I wanted to put on here. It’s difficult. Sometimes I find myself wanting to write about things, but I don’t want to write about personal [...]
Zooomr is a photo sharing service similar to flickr. It’s currently in a beta stage of development so I have decided to give it a bit of a try. It also comes with the added incentive that if I blog about it and use my photos in my blog then I will be [...]
Over the next couple of weeks you may experience a bit of funkiness on the site, so I am apologising for this in advance. As you may have noticed already I am beginning to tinker with the appearance of it and I will start to integrate my Portfolio. I am starting to get [...]
