So as any returning visitor will note, I have implemented a blog formating to this site. I did this because the majority of what I post will be in the form of topic news items / blog posts. As such it made no sense just taking on new entry after new entry and silently archiving old posts where noone would ever see them again. Whilst that still might happen with this system, at least it is easier to view previous posts by category / date. I will be transitioning everything over to the new blog format given a couple of days.

The software I am using is completely free and open source, as such I would like to say thank you to the developers by pointing it out to people who might be thinking about starting their own blog. Its called Thingamablog and it has a whole host of cool features and a good support forum. The only thing I dislike is the ping function, which alerts a blog resource (default is weblog.com) when a blog is updated. Whilst this is actually quite a nice idea, the site in question is being hammered by spammers which makes it completely defunct sadly.
