But...where's the latest comments feed? I always go for the latest comments.
Going to 442 shortly to see if they're going to do tomorrows final.

Thanks Andy - I've added the recent comments section - hope that's what you wanted.
Sorry I didn't make down to the 442 to ask about the men's final. Still, if you're off there now, you'll soon find out, and you can get a cool beer too!
Cheers!

ahaa, cleaner and faster. But did you try the one I gave you? Anyway. this one is cool too. However, I've got some suggestions: 1- I think post titles should be bold 2- How about if you insert a blue background behind the white one (so the sides would be blue as well as the areas above the header and footer) Otherwise, I like it

Hi Rajab,
1- I think post titles should be bold - Good idea! Thanks - done.
2- How about if you insert a blue background behind the white one (so the sides would be blue as well as the areas above the header and footer) - I'll see what I can do...
"But did you try the one I gave you?" - To be honest, no - there was something that I was not sure about - can't remember what.
Many thanks for the feedback, and for remarking that it's cleaner and faster - useful to hear.
Cheers!

Forgot to add Rajab - this blog can now be viewed on mobile devices, like phones and PDAs. Not as pretty, but works fine.

Yes, that's exactly what I wanted.
Re: 442. They were closed! The website is down too. Perhaps they've closed down?

Hi Andy - Glad to have been of service! Thanks for the feedback.
Re: 442 - odd that the place was closed. Has not closed down as far as I know!
I'm off out in a mo with dog and kid - and I could do with a beer. If it's open, I'll ask about the tennis.

It looks great. I REALLY want to learn how to do this kind of stuff. It's driving me insane that I can't wrap my head around how to do it.

Big thanks Miss E :-)
As for learning how to do this stuff, it's not too difficult, but you do need to have some knowledge of css, and how WordPress does it's stuff.
I'm slowly getting a handle on what does what, and can work out how to adapt things to my needs.
I'm no expert though! My system involves lots of trials and errors! Best way to learn though.
The alternative is to pay to have someone do it for you, but this is not cheap, unless you only want small mods.
The easiest thing to do, at least I think so, is to find a theme that is just about what you need, and then change colours and images. This is not too difficult, but you still need to know how to save graphics for the web and to know how to change colours and stuff via css.
It's great when it works, but annoying when it does not, as you can imagine!
All the best,
Alex

Love the new look! The arrangement of items is much cleaner, more organized and easier to follow. Massive improvement!

Hi Joe
Great to hear that you prefer the new look to the old one and that you think it is a 'massive improvement' - that's very good to hear.
Thanks.

Alex, I just noticed that you have a lot of Social Bookmarking Icons on the home page, I think you should only show them within posts or pages.

Hi Rajab,
Yes, I know the social bookmarking has invaded a bit too much - I've yet to work out how to exclude them from the post snippet columns. I'll have a play with the plugin which does this.
