Various Bits of News

Been a while since the last blog so this one is to do a bit of catching up.
Firstly, I’ve decided to put this blog back as the Home page. It makes sense that people see my most recent bits of information on first entering the site.

I’ve also been developing some Twitter content with icklestories and icklememories. The former I’ve mentioned before - a place where I can put fictional thoughts without causing confusion on my main ickledot twitter. This has led me to starting a new website using Weebly. I really like the simple format of this online web tool - and I’m a sucker for a site that looks friendly and … well … cuddly. Weebly is still in its developmental stages and its creators say they have many more ideas to improve functionality. I’ve also put a page of icklestories on this site, mainly to take advantage of the Stacks plug-in for Rapidweaver described previously.

icklememories is just something created on a whim. Might work, might not. Every so so often a jingle or lyric or bit of information comes into my head, or is heard and I thought it might be quite good to place these nuggets of pure nostalgia online. Might just kick-start a series of recollections for someone out there. We’ll see.
Also enrolled on a writing course at the Media Museum in Bradford. Bit unfortunate that the first session clashes with another meeting but I hope to get there in time to discover what it’s all about. It’s fantastic to have the national museum of media so close but as is human nature, when something is so convenient the tendency is not to take advantage.
