A new look for the site

Been slightly geekish I’ve been tinkering with the site for a few weeks and giving it a general freshen up. Today I accidentally launched it. In much the same way as you accidentally clean a fridge. You start doing a few bits and pieces, then you realise that you’ve got to go through with it. [...]

Chugging, comments and blogging

It’s occurred to me that I never returned to the comments I removed from the blog during the chugging episode, despite promising that I would either restore them or explain why I removed them. In fact, I made the decision fairly soon after I removed them that they would not be returning. This was after [...]

The site’s new look

Having had the blog for a few months I decided it was time for a new look.  I hope you like it. While the original template worked, it was put together fairly rapidly and never intended to do more than service the site while it was in something of a trial phase.  Having got beyond [...]

SEO: Using Coronation Street and Twitter

While this blog may be disappointing for all sorts of reasons I was surprised that it was because of lack of Coronation Street content. However, I’ve found out that that I’m the fourth hit for a Google search on ‘Dignity by Dev Alahan’; coming above national newspapers, Coronation Street fansites and ITV’s own website.  And [...]

Wandsworth Council is now twittering

Twittering is a form of microblogging which, along with this blog, I started as a bit of an experiment.  I will freely admit that it hasn’t taken the course I expected – but there are some fascinating conversations taking place on there, especially around subjects of democratic and social engagement, so it is something I [...]
