Some of you may have noticed that the blog is looking a tad different.
This is because I have had the theme upgraded. “Whats that mean?” You may ask.
The appearance of a WordPress blog is governed by some special software called the theme. I use a premium theme called Headway but as this blog has been around a while, it had an old version of the theme installed.
The new version of the theme was launched a couple of years ago but irritatingly there is no easy upgrade path. So as the new theme has a lot of cool features I would like to use, I have had to pay someone to do it for me.
The wonderful Corey Freeman in fact, in case anyone else is in the same position.
Having got the theme sorted I hope to do a bit of development work here, when I get the time.
