Hi everyone,

I’m back!

Well I didn’t real go anywhere but my sites certainly did.

Finally the migration to a new web host went fairly smoothly except for this
very blog.

The much loved ‘Connections-Reloaded theme has gone due to the HUGE break when
my installer, Adam from down-under in Australia upgraded to WordPress 2.2!

So me not being much of a techie I switched to a previous ‘Connections’ theme.

There are a few things I need to change to the sidebar, footer and header.

However I am planning on revamping the whole blog design altogether.

Sadly a lot of plugins are no longer supported including my trusted ‘WordPress Database Backup’ by Scott Merrill. Looks like a lot of programmers have given up with the ups and downs of recent WordPress updates.

Did you know every time an upgrade is made these un-paid programmers have to develop a patch?
Well some are doing alright because after the acquisition of FeedBurner by Google the ‘FeedBurner Feed Replacement Plugin’ has now been taken over by FeedBurner and has a new name ‘FeedSmith‘.

So I’ll be on the hunt for some new replacement plugins!

Strange things have been going on.. like the incredible level of Spam seemingly from
Kosovo , or so the comments implied!

Plus aliens make you feel so good that you’ll want a business degree.

Yeah, right!

Spam makes sow mutch cents. LOL
