Well, I'm working through some of my New Year's resolutions. So far I've renewed my hosting and domain name, and I've just upgraded to NucleusCMS v3.31. All told it was a very painless process (to be fair, all previous upgrades have been too). All I had to remember was that index.php needed tweaking to support fancyurls. As far as I can tell, everything seems to be working fine. Cool

Now I know Imran suggested that I should switch to Worldpress, but it wouldn't be as much fun. I'm trying to kid myself that I have some hands-on technical ability left (OK, that assumes I had some to start with...) by tweaking the off bit of PHP from time to time. Which reminds me, NP_Ping, which seems to replace NP_PingPong for Nucles v3.31, doesn't seem to log to the ActionLog anymore (or maybe NP_PingPong didn't either - that might have been one of my own tweaks), so there's something to do straight away! I've also added NP_TinyMCE2, a WYSIWYG editor for writing blog entries. Mostly this was because my own plugin to make external links open in new windows didn't really work how I wanted, but a quick look at the Tiny MCE website showed a few useful features like a spell checker (to save me cutting and pasting posts into Word), although some of these don't appear to have been implmented in the Nucleus plugin. Still, it looks good so far, and it may be possible to add those features with a bit more tweaking.

Well, that's it for now. Tomorrow I'm off to Ponds Forge to play Octopush in the Nautilus competition, so I'll post the results when I get back.
