Moocher that I am, I took her up on her offer and she very nicely set up the space along with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.movabletype.org\">Movable Type<\/a> for me.<\/p>\n<p>I was all excited about setting up an <abbr title=\"Movable Type\">MT<\/abbr> blog except that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\">Blogger<\/a> went and upgraded their services. So there you go. What was I to do? Well I loved some of the new templates in Blogger, I quickly appropriated one and modified it to what you see here. It took me all of half a day (including the photoshopping!) and I am, to be honest, quite proud of what I&#8217;ve done.<\/p>\n<p>Blogger has added commenting but after a day of experimenting with it, I&#8217;ve decided to stick with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.haloscan.com\">Haloscan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So what happens to the webspace that Hanni so generously gave me? Well, as of now, I installed Gallery there and I have some pictures up at <a href=\"http:\/\/oook.pinksocks.co.uk\/gallery\">http:\/\/oook.pinksocks.co.uk\/gallery<\/a>. At some point in the future I might finish my languishing personal website and have that hosted at pinksocks. And who knows, if I ever get off my butt and do something useful, I might just start writing another blog (something less personal and more themed possibly.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An idle mind is the devil&#8217;s workshop, eh?
