Okay, some normality restored

I have rid the busted page of horrible artefacts that popped up from orphan code and such like, and the blog is at least readable again. But the song list (the reason you are looking at the blog no doubt) vanished.

I could spend time repairing the list but I may aswell build the new website instead. It will be at www.halfmanhalfbiscuithalfhearted.co.uk

Until I can figure out how to publish effectively to the new domain I'll run this blog and the new site in tandem. My aim is to have the blog/comments structure under the .co.uk site. That should be easy according to the Blogger help pages. Errrrr, no Blogger....I did what you said and my blog got screwed up. Bugger.

EDIT: after much in the dark tweaking I got the blog back as it was. What a waste of a Sunday morning. I have also trialed some web authoring apps including Frontpage, NetObjects, PageBreeze, MoreMotion and Coffee Cup and they all suck. What a load of tosh they were with promised WSIWYG control let down by very poor implementation. I'm off to watch football.

  1. Sorry to hear about your technical troubles. Can't help but feel partly responsible; if I hadn't said anything, you might not have been tempted to tweak.

    If it's any consolation, at least you can actually watch football; I have to depend on the Grauniad's minute-by-minute online commentaries....

  2. You shouldn't feel partly responsible....just wholly! Hee hee.

    Ah well, I got to see two Premiership matches in HD so all was not lost.

  3. Try Wordpress or Drupal.

    Depending on who you are hosting with and what you get with your package you should be able to install these..
