Just testing the video embedding. Here’s me taking Mama for a walk.

Apologies for an absence of a month. I’ve been busy learning new things like walking but more importantly building what is now the sixth incarnation of my website. I was happy with the old Wordpress structure but wanted a bit more functionality and an opportunity to play around with some exciting new multi-media stuff.

First up is the little rolling image gallery situated below the archives in the sidebar. It’s got a few holding images in at the moment but what you are looking at is an embedded module running through AJAX which is very exciting as I’ve never tried using it before.

Enough for now, I’ll just be trying out a few bits and bobs later like uploading video, it broke on my old site but should in theory work here. I still have to upload the photos back into the posts as the script is looking for them on a different server and directory from where they will be here. The whole blog section has been re-indexed and back dated to when I first started blogging. Apologies to purists but this required changing the timestamps but I promise I’m not trying to do anything naughty by doing it.

Anyway, enjoy, back with some more content later. Oh, almost forgot, still a couple of jobs to do like getting a new favicon etc but only minor touches.
