    Introducing PBcom

    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 [...]


    Slight Realign

    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 [...]


    Feedburner to Bird Feeder

    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.
    My Feedburner setup was probably a pretty standard setup for a lot [...]


    Switching to Birdfeeder

    My feed is moving. Well actually the way I monitor my feed is changing. The last few weeks has seen a very slow response time from Feedburner in delivering statistics about my feed.

    New Design

    Well guys, thanks to a little hiccough when I was upgrading my Wordpress install (which I think failed!) I’ve been forced to activate my newly designed theme slightly early. The problem was most likely my fault, the update was the first time I had used Transmit to upgrade and for whatever reason it decided [...]


    Blogging Is Blogging

    I’ve been wanting to sit down and blog for a while now, and I’ve had that age old problem of not knowing where to start. As I sat here trying to think about why I’m having trouble blogging, the thought came to me that until I started to use the offline blogging tool MarsEdit [...]


    Tweaks

    Apologies if you are on the blog this afternoon/evening, I’m making a few tweaks and having a bit of a refresh so if you experience a few bits of funkyness they should only be momentary.


    Going Commentless

    Yep you did read that right. For the last few months I have been debating turning off the comments by default, in a similar manner to John Gruber, Jason Kottke and many others. The debate has ranged from many different angles, but in the end always returns to the same conclusion, and [...]


    Blogs can be blogs

    I had a bit of a realisation today regarding my blog. Recently as you might have guessed with my little flirtation with Tumblr, I’ve been having a few issues with my blog and it’s direction. I’ve been considering a lot of what I want from it, what I “should” be doing with it. [...]
