The Day with 2.7 (8)
Have updated to 2.7. After a cursory glance around things look okay, but please let me know if you come across a dodgy page/section someplace; I never manage to catch them all.
I could lie and say that it’s the new admin page that’s made it tricky to update lately but . . . well, that would be a lie. :p Normal service should resume shortly though. In the meantime, how’s you? Know of a blog I categorically should be reading? What you doing for Christmas?

The Bit About the Broken Feed (17)
I think that my RSS feed is broken.
I didn’t do it. Honest.
I’d fix it but . . . wtf? I don’t even know how it’s broken. Can anyone smarter than I am (i.e. everyone) help me figure this out? It seems to have stalled sometime between 24th April and 27th April - which I think is post my 2.5 update, but potentially pre-2.5.1.
Also realised today that, despite fixing it twice, my library’s gone tits up, too.
I need a drink. 1.30pm isn’t too early, right?
Edit: Okay, so TC has helped me grapple with this, and we’ve made some tentative changes that I hope have fixed the issue.
If people continue to have a problems then please get in touch. However . . . well, if you’re one of people having problems then you won’t be able to see this post, will you?
Edit #2: Teesee and I think we’ve fixed the issue and have now redirected the old broken feed to the spangly new one. I’d appreciate it if readers using RSS could let me know if they’re still having problems.
Teesee: I love you and want your babies.

The Day With The New WordPress Theme (11)
Could those of you with Wordpress and the time and inclination please download my latest WP theme and let me know what you think - particularly if it breaks? It’s not formally released yet but you can find it for download at that page.
The theme is 1.1 XHTML and CSS valid, 508 compliant and - like all my others (one day I will break my mould - honestly) - fixed width, two column and widget ready. Works across all resolutions 1024+ (although may look small in very large res) and has been tested on Safari, Internet Explorers 5.5, 6 and 7, FireFox 2.x and Opera 9.x (on Mac and PC).
I can’t take any credit for the image; it was bought at Stockxpert for a client and never used. It’s too pretty not to utilise, hence the release!
What do you think? Is it something you’d consider using? Your comments and suggestions are always most welcome - even if you’ve never commented here before or you’re not a WP user!

The Day With 2.5 (17)
I’ve been upgrading my plentiful WordPress blogs in fits and starts over recent weeks (I use WordPress for a lot of my projects) :p and today I reached the final batch - which included FA.com.
I put it off not because I’m one of those annoying people who never upgrades (FA.com is almost always running on the latest version even when my other sites are not - I love my angel too much to neglect her) but I was waiting for many of my plugins to release 2.5 compatible versions before I jumped onto the 2.5 wagon. I didn’t anticipate problems because, like I said, I’m always up to date, and I’ve had precisely zero problems everywhere else but - as is always the way - FA is the only one of twelve installations I have that’s fucked up. Joyo.
Aw, I’m being unfair. It hasn’t fucked up completely - you’re reading this, right? Presumably you can comment (someone check?!) but there are a few little problems with my plugins, the main one being the issue I have with my reading library which, at the time of writing, is just not displaying. It was one of the plugins that I hacked to death and modified within an inch of its life, and I didn’t upgrade for ages because I didn’t want to have to re-model it all over again. :p Now I’m forced into doing so, so bear with me whilst I sort it out and it goes through some tidying up. ETA: It’s working now - yay! Also think my LJ-Crossposter is okay too . . . maybe?!
Other than that, after a cursory look round it looks as though everything’s rocking and rolling. Have a poke around - go on, when was the last time you checked out my content anyway? Reacquaint yourself! - and let me know if anything’s looking a little wonky. Meanwhile, I’m going back to bed with hot lemon, cough sweets and feel sorry for myself some more - I have a chest infection. Poor me. :(

The Bit About WordCamp UK (12)
I don’t do dorky stuff all that often (well, not where people can see me anyway) but I’ve been involved from the early stages of WordCamp UK and plan to be there 19/20th July this year.
Anyone else planning on going? Go on. You get me see me. In the flesh. That in itself is worth a plane ticket/road trip, right?
