I’ve now ‘finished’ updating my blog, i.e. it now does everything I wanted it to do. I decided to use Flickr instead of the WordPress upload function after having some issues, so you will see in the ‘ultrasprint’ post that both are used, from now on I will use my new flickr account.
One of the main, but simple, changes was moving the blog to be the homepage of adalgleish.net which is nice, you can easily have it hosted in another directory (/blog in my case) but appear as if on the homepage.
I have no idea if anyone will read this, but I will keep writing and trying post vaguely informative things in future 
I have also turned on google thingies, so posts should get picked up there and be found under relevant searches.
