… i tink therefore i am …

So the new look is completely accidental. Right now it looks as though I (Neil) have successfully hosed the blog to the point where all previous posts and comments are lost.

I went to make a post about the winners of our competition and decided to embed a YouTube video to illustrate the winner. This required that I upgrade our wordpress blog to the latest version … something I’ve been putting off for about a year - I am always guided by “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Well now it looks like my new mantra is “it’s broke, ‘cos I fixed it”. It reminded me of the birthday card that Lesley gave me this year, with a picture of a guy holding a power tool and a caption, “He’d had the tool only for a day, and already he’d successfully reduced the value of his property by $10,000!”.

Don’t worry, the winners of the competition were chosen … the video in the previous post might give you a clue. Just give me a couple more days and we’ll let you know, and who knows we might even get the old content back!

    I feel your pain! I’m the Queen of Screwing up the Blog. I’m also not loving the upgrade to the latest WP, too much fiddling to make it work.

    Good luck getting it all back.
