Well Christmas is over for another year! I had a good day yesterday — we had 11 people over for dinner which is a first! We usually don’t do that kind of thing at Christmas so it made a nice change and it was good to see people. I am looking forward to having things get back to normal though. I get bored really easily over Christmas and I’m just looking forward to going out and seeing people again. There’s still a good few of my good mates that I haven’t seen yet and I’ve been back since Wednesday!

Anyway moving on… I have had the chance these past 2 days to spend a lot of time working on my website. I discovered a blog called frostbolt which I found while playing around on Google and I liked it! It’s a World of Warcraft blog but I really liked the look of the site — seemed to have had a fair bit of customisation done to it, loads quick and is even valid xhtml! So I did some investigating and found out what blogging system the author was using and gave it a try myself. It’s called WordPress and it’s pretty sweet — I’ve been fiddling around with the templates and got it all working well enough but I can only do so much on this PC because it’s rubbish. I even managed to import all my old blogs from Blogspot which was a major selling point for WordPress as I did not want to lose the last few months of posts and comments.

You can see the site at www.mattous.co.uk — I’m going to continue to post my blogs on Blogspot and MySpace. I’ve disabled comment posting on Blogspot though, sorry Downs — you’ll just have to come to my site to comment! There’s been a small amount of activity on the forums with 4 members and 11 posts. Pretty pathetic if you ask me so get on the site people! Get involved.
