The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that Mike is the first person in a long time to make it out of the Hall of Shame in the sidebar – which is where you end up when you don’t post on your weblog for six months. Mike’s recent posts on cash versus cards and his day at Wimbledon were enough to convince me that it wasn’t just a reinstall of his website – although it’s a pity he seems to have lost all his previous work. Not as much of a pity that he spotted when Dave vandalised his website last year…

Mike’s recent reappearance and Ed’s not-so-recent conversion to wordpress reminded me that my weblog needed upgrading once again – and I then spent two days fiddling with the new widgets in the sidebar. WordPress just keeps getting better. Finally, I can show where the recent comments are lurking – and it’s not always on the most recent posts – along with who’s posting what in the nearby circle. With all the new widgets though I’m considering adding a second sidebar!

Anyway, enough meta-talk for now.
