I’ve made a few changes (again) to this blog.

• After realising I’ve earned a whole 60p from adverts on this blog and equally realising that they were slowing the site down, I’ve removed them!
• After realising that the language translator never appeared to work, I’ve disabled it.
• I’ve moved the admin options to the side
• I’ve added quick shortcuts to various categories in the top menu bar

I hope you like the changes

I’ve found – and I know others have too – that you can’t delete tags in WordPress from the tags management screen.

However, after recently upgrading my WordPress version I found that, after leaving my plugins disabled by accident, it would work. Enabling my plugins then broke the functionality. Unfortunately, my good fortune didn’t go as far as thinking to test it and try and work out which plugin is the cause.

So, yes, that’s the cause. But exactly what I’m not sure.

Next time I have some tags to delete and some times on my hand, I’ll try and work it out further.

Yes, a sudden lot of posts. What can I say – I obviously have a lot to say all of a sudden!

But this post gives me an opportunity to make a few small points that I wouldn’t normally bother a whole post with…

1. Is it me or the spell check in Firefox 3 a bit dodgy? I’m often finding that it’s not checking, say, forum entries as I type them but if I turn off the spell check and turn it back on again, it starts working. Weird.
2. Because I’m often posting about customer service – good or bad – I’ve added it as a brand new category. Over time I’ll go back over my old posts and assign appropriate ones that category.
3. I’ve added a translation service to this blog (see the row of flags at the bottom of the screen?). At the moment Google translator appears to be offline, but it does work. Really.
4. I’ve added a new whizzy plugin that allows me to embed my Picasa photo albums into this blog. Rather neat and another good reason why I’m not being tempted away to the warm bosom of Flickr.
