Except it didn’t.

My plan to renew my WordPress installation and change my blog theme have gone proper wrong.

Primarily the version of WordPress I’m using is out of date by several revisions, so an upgrade of that would have been good but (there’s always a but) the theme I’d chosen which is a K2 style, is broken under anything more modern than WordPress 2.7.

So, to cut a long story short I’ve just fucked it off for now. The blog is working, sorta, and I’ve changed the Lightbox effect on images but I’ve still got a major job on my hands to get it properly sorted. Lots of admin to do.

I also want to get my One Year gallery centred on the page, but it’s proving a real bitch to do. Damn it.

So far outstanding jobs are:

• File structure housekeeping
• Element alignment (galleries and video)
• Video hosting (move files back to Revver)
• Various layout issues
• Investigate Twitter feed’s temperamental nature
• Update WordPress without breaking anything
• Document issues with NGGallery
• Reduce categories, tag all posts
• Clean up photo galleries (tagging, image sizing)

I can’t think of anything else at the minute but it looks like these issues will have to wait until I take a break in January.
