Changed the site design (yet again) - you may have noticed! Added a background pic of Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor and Roger Delgado as The Master to the background and slipped the content down by aboyt 230 pixels. Let's see how that goes.
Added (and almost finished) a new section in My People for the late (and great) character comedian Dick Emery. An overview of his life and achievements in the world of comedy, plus a short run-down of his major characters that made me laugh so much in the 70's\80's.
I just need to add a video clip of him to the Video Page and it's done!
Next up will be the absolutely sublime Ray Alan.
I'd forgotten to do a Site Update entry when I added it, but I've added a new Blog Post entitled "The Leisure Cruise". It's about the recent holiday I had to the Mediterranian on a Cruise ship! I've also added a lot more tags to the blog entries too.
Started a new entry on the People Page for the comedian Dick Emery - another influence on my childhood. I've started it, but that's about it for the moment!
Added two new videos to the BBC Radiophonic Workshop "Sounds Radiophonic" Page of Daphne Oram's Oramics Machine and of Desmond Brisco and Delia Derbyshire talking about the BBC Radiophonic Workshop early days.
Added another Maxell advert video clip to the Video Clips Page. This one was a skit on The Skids track of the time.
As you can see, we've had a bit of a decorate! It's taken a couple of days to tweak things until they're right, but all should be reasonably OK and working now.
Added a somewhat long article about Eric Morecambe (and Morecambe & Wise) from the People Page. Disabled the News Page and the Latest News module as it's a bit spurious and doesn't get updated very often.
Chnged the site background (again) to some dark arty concrete brick design.
I've added what I can only describe as "some prettyness" to the site using some custom css classes in the articles. This gives warning, info and note boxes to the text.
I've adjusted some of the front page text so that it looks a little better when laid out on the page and I've done some backend work to provide me with a service. It's my website after all ;)
Messing around with the backgrounds a bit too, see if I can find one I really like!
Updated the various media players (audio and video) for the site to bring them in line with a common standard (for me!). Should work with Mac, iPhone and iPad successfully.
