Okay, so here is my second attempt at a WordPress blog. The first one disappeared into a failing hard drive last week. I should also say, many thanks to my old friend and host, Ryan Hitch, who has given me this space while I teach myself how to use WordPress.

Fortunately, I had saved the HTML of the two static pages I’d written on the first blog, so they are here now in their original form.

I will just say for anyone reading this for the first time, that this site (www.digitalranger.org.uk) is my test site. I’m learning WordPress here and working on designs, when I have achieved some level of competancy and have a design I like, it will be going to “www.davidgilson.co.uk“.

The only different thing I’ve done so far is that I’ve installed a Widget (go me!), to display my “FriendFeed”. In other words I’m showing a feed of all of my activities on other sites. I’m happy with it, although what I don’t like is that is showing all of the photos I’ve uploaded in each batch to Flickr, making the whole thing longer than it needs to be.

The next thing I need to do is look at some themes. I have some downloaded from WordPress.org and other sites.
