The last few months have been very quiet here at Electric Weekend, there’s been lots going on behind the scenes which have made it hard to write here. I covered some of those in the last post, but now I’m beginning to feel the desire to write again.
Unfortunately I also feel as a person I’ve [...]
I’ve just put the finishing touches to a slight realign here on the blog. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for some time but never quite got around to it.
I’ve kept the same basic look and feel around the place but made some better use of space and added a few usability alterations. The [...]
As I mentioned last week I’ve made a change to the way I track the subscription stats here on Electric Weekend. That change seems to have gone well and I wanted to take this opportunity to outline the simple steps that made it possible.
