……….just installed Mambo on the Oakleaf Circle site, and I’m getting configuration errors! Probably have to go through the install process all over again. What a pain. But I saw a red kite today! Got a full spread-wing view, and the ‘fishtail’ was unmistakable. Glanced out of the window while I was working and spotted […]

Decided to go with Mambo for the new Oakleaf Circle site – the installation looked a lot simpler. Besides which, I’ve been having a play with a Mambo sandbox kindly provided for me by a friend. It looks rather fearsome at first go, but it has a lot of features. The only feature I need […]
IE7 is an open-source patch that looks like it might solve the knotty problem of Internet Explorer’s poor support of CSS standards. So I’ll give it a try – is this the answer to the IE box model problem?
I’ve just had an email, telling me about a new web development project. And I’m being asked to get involved in it! It sounds really good, very ambitious. I have hopes for it, and I’m dead chuffed to be asked to take part. Time to do my happy dance! Unfortunately, I can’t reveal any more […]
…for the new website to become active. On Thursday night, I emailed 34sp to ask what the heck was going on and got a rely this afternoon: …there appears to be an issue with the domain registration which is being taken up with the registrars as soon as we have more information we will get […]
…the new Oakleaf Circle site, I mean. The site’s still not active . When they said it would take up to 72 hours to activate, I suppose they didn’t include weekends. Anyway, I’ve temporarily uploaded the old site to here – you should be able to get to it at this link. The search engines […]
The new Oakleaf Circle site is almost live! I’ve just got notification from 34sp.com. Brilliantly fast work, as I only sent the cheque off yesterday! I’d like to put the site up right away, but I have the Elfin Diaries site to put up – supposed to get it finished today, but there have been […]
…the Oakleaf Circle site is going to be online again in a couple of weeks. I’ve given up trying to get the EPS code so that I can transfer it from Supanames – it appears that a chain of resellers is involved, and the one who could supply the code has gone bust. Although the […]
Just had a quick look at the site stats. Amongst other things, they list search terms that people use when they get directed to this site. Several of them are for astrological stuff and calendrical stuff – “chines calender” (presumably Chinese calender) and “2005 moon phrases” (moon phases) are two recurring terms. So, if anybody […]
I’ve spent the last couple of afternoons trying to make WordPress work as a CMS for the Oakleaf Circle site but the instructions for creating separate category pages that would work as directory lists don’t seem to work for me. So I’ve spent all this afternoon looking at free CMSs. Gahhhhhh…. PostNuke, Drupel, e107, Etomise….. […]
