Trigger Finger

If you like football (and I mean soccer by that you americans!) the check out my new site. It is a digg-like site for footy news that aggregates all the news as well as providing an forum for discussion (comments) and voting in a digg stlye.

You can of course submit your own stories if you have a hot rumour for the transfer window

This is so far off-topic I am not going to even attempt to defend it, but it is so cool!

Some lucky tourists were on Safari and managed to capture some incredible footage. In summary, lions attack a group of buffalo and take a calf. Whilst they are trying to subdue it, a crocodile comes out of the water and starts a tug of war with the lions. The lions eventually win, but just as you think its all over for the poor calf… a whole gang of the buffalo come back fight the lions off, rescuing the calf!! Truly amazing to watch (don’t worry there is no blood and guts) and I had tears in my eyes when the calf runs out back into the safety of the herd.

I have now completely reworked the categories of the site to make them more logical and hopefully easier to navigate to the article you want. No doubt I have broken a ton of stuff, I guess a lot of old external links into the site are now fubar’ed and the Snap previews have some updating to do. But hopefully using the new categories you can get to anything that seems amiss.

It’s one of those things… when I started the site I started with two categories, ‘Gaming News’ and ‘Rants’. Then over the months (and I guess I can say years now!) I have added categories ad-hoc and it was very messy.

Now things are strictly organised, perhaps most importantly Reviews are seperated from rants

Any problems please let me know below!

So after a fair bit of tweaking, experimenting and general improvements on the site I was just getting to a point where I was mildy satisfied with the site (in the absence of any time to design anything really great) and then WordPress go and do this to me!

So now a couple of hours of testing and backups need to be done before I find out how much of the work I have done in the last week or so goes down the drain! I’m guessing most of the plugins will still work (some now seem to come as part of WP so that’s good!) and the code changes I have made haven’t been too significant… but who knows!

Anyway here is the new changelog for WordPress 2.1 and I must admit it looks pretty damn good!

Yes it’s national wordpress day today apparently (or maybe I am just giving the site a once over to freshen things up ) Anyway I have discovered the ImageManager plugin and it seems pretty cool! For a flash demo of it click here.

Here are a couple of test images

Thumbnail with pop-up. The picture is my favourite space picture of the Lagoon Croman Nebula. It looks like its painted by an artist, stuns me every time every time I see it and makes an awesome desktop!

Thumbnail with link to image. Sun setting on Mars’s horizon… incredible picture from one of the Mars landers (I forget which).

Someone thinks this is a pirate site! Check out the following search terms used in at this site!
