Blog almost sorted out

I've almost got blogging working properly

If you're reading this, then you've obviously found my blog. I've set it all up ready to go, but it's not quite ready to make public yet.

First, I want to have a free theme installed on my website. That'll make the site look a whole lot better and it will change the way a few things are done.

Second, there's a Plone add-in product that will allow comments without requiring people to create accounts on the website. My old site allowed anonymous registration, so it attracted thousands of spam accounts. I don't want that to happen to this site. Mine will be the only valid account for now. The add-in will also allow comment moderation - you know, what you'd expect from a blog.

I also haven't got the RSS thing sorted out yet. Yes, you can see the big orange logo up there, but just try clicking on it. Actually by the time you're able to read this, I WILL have it sorted out, so if you click on it it should work.

So if you are reading this, I assume that it's because you've somehow found the archive of older posts. The first five posts you can see are out of order, because I made them before I'd gotten the blog sorted out properly.

I still haven't got a product that will do a proper tag cloud as a portlet. I'll probably end up using Cumulus, but I kinda wanted one that wasn't animated.

I'm just an ordinary guy with some hobbies. By day I am a website content manager, social media and publications specialist. The rest of the time I'm a medievalist, gamer, photographer, podcaster, musician and skeptic... not necessarily in that order.
