This one is better I think: more pics at a smaller size.
A tip for when pasting in HTML from flickr into WordPress 2. the editor is supposed to pick up HTML and work it out for you, but for some reason it struggles with these image links. Better to paste it straight into the HTML dialogue by clicking the 
button.
Created using the Flickr toys at Flagrant Disregard.
Much planning is being done over at Palimpsest for the second Big Day Out, which we have all been looking forward to after the success of last year’s.
It seems like a few new Palimpers will be coming along, which will be nice. So far, 11 have signed up, with 2 maybes.
Am staying over in the local Travel Lodge this time, so as to make an evening of it. As it isn’t until 24 May, I got a family room for £10, which I can share with amner. A fiver each! Excellent.
My local council has a forum which no one uses. Well, I thought I would give it a go, largely because I was so annoyed at how long it took me to find out my local councillors’ names and contact info (I want to find out what is happening to the park in our village, which is beset by vandals and where the play equipment is, frankly, lethal)!
Anyway, my post was suitably pompous, and after submitting it I was all sent to c&p it into here, but the bloody thing needs to be moderated. Presumably that means every post has to be… cue eyes rolling dramatically.
Been browsing through Flickr and found this beauty from Chillicheese: Palimper and blogger.
I have recently become a ‘pro’ member of flickr, largely so that I can dump loads of family photos for distant family members to see, so they are mostly private. But I am interested in taking more photos more often, not just when we go for a trip out somewhere.
A digital camera is an amazing thing really, when you think about it. Being able to take as many photos as you like, print out some if you want to, send them to friends. I guess it gives you the chance to take risks, wheras before one might have been worried about wasting exposures. Just take loads of photos and sift through them on the PC when you get home. Brilliant.
The first of the New Year.
Just logged into my web-based RSS aggregator (I am using Newsgator these days) to find hundreds of posts all wishing me a happy new year. Great, thanks everyone.
I must be in a bad mood today. Still, if people just posted photos of their cats, the world would be a much less annoying place.
The Rock is a disused limestone quarry which overlooks the village, now a nature reserve. A brilliant place for rambling walks. Loads more photos on my Flickr page.
