Some of the more frequent and established viewers will know that my posting rate for new lyrics can be pretty glacial at times. Well fear not for there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I came across a rival site yesterday and rather than shun it, ignore it, pretend it doesn't exist I positively embrace its presence. The author has taken his site in the very direction I had planned and spent a lot of last Sunday failing to execute.
The upshot? Well, we have been in contact with the result being that while my posting rate for new lyrics on here may remain very slow a brilliant alternative site is simply only a click away at www.chrisrand.com/hmhb/ so pay it a visit.
I will still continue to ramble on here occasionally and infrequent bursts of activity will see a whole album appear when you least expect it. Hopefully we'll have everything covered between the two sites!

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.

Hmmm
Okay it seems that we have a slight technical problem with the blog.
Blogger is not very receptive to allowing ftp control over the site so I moved to a new domain on which I should be able to publish the blog and tinker with the structure using an ftp client.
I followed the rather poorly described examples and the current blog went boom. I'm not even sure if this post will actually post.
Damn.
Time to get my internet spanners out.
