it’s currently 00:50 and I have had a complete inability to sleep so far tonight (I am going to go and try again in a minute.)  Anyway as i couldn’t sleep I thought I would update the blog, not just this post I have re done the about page so it now reflects what is happening now rather than being out of date. Of course with it being very late, me being tiered if not sleepy and dyslexic it could well be full of mistakes so if you feel like having a read and find anything that needs to be corrected please do feel free to let me know!

Good night!

Sorry all I have been away for far too long, all i can say is the bus broke down, too much other stuff to do and a temperamental computer (this has definitly broken down but is working again at the moment).

I have now managed to upgrade the back end of the blog and fix what went wrong the last time (although I have just noticed my draft posts all now say they were written on 1 Jan 1970, before I was even born impressive).

I am hoping to add a new box later as i have set up a twitter account (which can be found at http://twitter.com/simofaulks) although it should feed into here and is already doing my facebook status. i hope to use this to keep people informed during my selection conference next week but will post again here later.

Cheers

Well I have freshened up the look slightly and made a bit more of a customisation job, I know some people found the heavy black of the old look difficult so I hope this is better, please leave your comments to let me know what you think.

I think so anyway, it now seams to display ok, there was a particular post where things went wrong and it seems that because I tend to type my posts in a word processor then copy and paste, I had done that post on a different computer and software, it had copied some code that it put at the beginning of the post and messed things up. I had also been having problems as mentioned before with the theme keep changing to the default, I hope that was part of the same problem but only the next few days/weeks will tell on that front!

I seem to be having a few more technical difficulties at the moment, these only effect (as far as I know I would be keen to hear from anyone who can test on a mac)  Internet Explorer and Opera, in either of these browsers the right hand column seems to be missing and you only get a couple of posts (I don’t know what impact this post will have on that). If you switch to another page it works and you can then go to the archive, it is only the home page that has the problem, the other way to solve it and and even better idea would be to use Firefox! I will continue trying to fix this problem though.

This year I did my tax return ages ago, about May time, one of the advantages of this I discovered is that you can chose to pay your bill through your tax code which I thought would be good. Shortly afterwards I received a new tax code which has since been used. It was therefore a surprise when last week I got a bill through telling me I had to pay by today! I phoned the tax office who didn’t really seam to know what was going on but assured me I didn’t need to pay the bill as the money had been collected through my tax code. I’m now thinking I should have asked for this in writing, there is this little voice at the back of my head that is saying if they told me wrong I am going to be fined for late payment, although I don’t owe them any money, it should be fine, stop worrying!

I have added an events page to the site to advertise a few of the things that are going on, some of these are fun things you might want to know about, maybe even come along to! Others are things you might like to pray for! We’ll see how it develops, let me have any comments etc or suggestions as to what else you think could be on the events page or added to the site.

Cheers
