I’m checking to see if I can now get integration with my twitter account via su.pr, if it works I should be able to squeeze out a tweet when I post.

Under the hood
Still pottering about with the site, now trying to install Disqus for the comments system. It hasn’t thrown out the horrendous errors that it used to on the old host, which I guess is a good sign…
New server, life stuff
Well, I’ve been neglecting my site for quite some time. Getting made redundant from one job, moving house, taking a shitty minimum-wage job to pay the rent, then chasing a job with TfL didn’t leave me much room for farting around online. However, I’ve managed to get most of that behind me, and I now find myself with that rare luxury – time.
I thought I’d dust off the site and try again. In doing so, I realised that the host I was using wasn’t a great fit for WordPress, and I was only really using it to host a site for a client who recently decided to move their site elsewhere – fair enough, I had no time to maintain it anymore, and we agreed that 4 years had been a good run.
So I found myself looking for a new web host, and was listening to Leo Laporte on his Tech Guy show, and heard him mention DreamHost in passing, I thought “hey, why the heck not?” and checked it out. Turns out I hit it at the right time, because their Black Friday deal got me a years’ hosting for less than the price of one month! ($9.24) So I switched everything over and found a one-click install of WordPress
And now I find myself making the same promise to myself, that I will find time to keep this site updated and not ignore it. We’ll see how long that lasts…
