And We're Back (sort of)...

First off, my apologies for the lack of service.

I've been attempting to use a new template for the blog with, it must be said, only marginal success, so I've reverted to a more familiar appearance until I get it sorted.

Using a third-party template requires a little editing, however, as an IT professional, I naturally have little expertise with HTML, XML or PHP, which means research and a lot of trial and error.

I'm working on it offline, so as soon as I have a result you'll be the first to know.

I've got some php knowledge if you need any help with that. I find those blogger templates a real pain. You could also check out some of the free downloadable templates on various sites.

Don't let it drive you crazy!!

Thank you both, kindly...

I was getting kind of fed up with the existing template and I thought it might be a challenge to put a new one up instead.

Turns out I was right, but work and such prevented me from doing much with it so I'll have to work on it over time.

I've had some success but it's just a case of tweaking it until I'm happy with it before unleashing it on the world.

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon...
