Blogger Beta

I’ve taken the plunge and migrated my blog to the new ‘beta’ from Blogger. Apparently everything is stored in a database now, so all changes are reflected instantly - no ‘rebuild’ step when posting or modifying the template.

Posts can also now have labels, which should help me to categorise things.

Hopefully everything continues to work how it used to. Let me know if something has broken.

"Internet safety for kids" presentation for parents

I’m presenting a talk on Internet Safety for Kids on behalf of UCount Support Services at the Aberfoyle Uniting Church (42 Sunnymeade Dr, Aberfoyle Park) at 8pm on Monday, 4th September.
