I have checked it out on my netbook and the page is as white as the driven snow!  It reports that the page is loaded but there is nothing there. I have been fiddling around this afternoon so I may have messed up the HTML code on the CSS style sheet. I will check it out to-night If I have the time. Until then this is your golden opportunity to check out the other browsers. SLUA seems to work fine on all of them.

I upgraded the site to WordPress 2.7.1 a few minutes ago. This is my second attempt as the first run seemed to clash with my animated cloud tag plugin. All seems to be fine this time around. The sideblog plugin seems to experiencing problems as all its posts are in the centre column. I will tidy everything up tomorrow morning.

The  “Once Upon  A Blog” podcasts and posts are still intact on the site and I hope to port them across to the school’s new ScoilNet hosted blog during the week.

I also hope to import the posts from the CESI Dublin site before I close it down. All contributors’ accounts will be ported across as well.

I have changed the theme for the first time in 3 years. It will take a bit of time to tweak it so be patient.

Enjoy the mid-term.
