Stylesheet Error Update

Thanks to Martin for spotting an error in my stylesheet for my Blogs (Photo one had same error) which meant any Text Entry box was "Silver on White" when typing (Not a great combo).

This has now been fixed and you can enjoy typing your comments here at the same time as seeing your text! :)

Note To Me:- Test your StyleSheets on Other Browsers, and not just in Safari (Mac OS X).

Errors!

Why is it when something doesn't work you feel you need it more?

What am I talking about. Well SymbianDiaries Login screen has been down for a few days now and all of the Bank Holiday weekend I kept checking as I want to write blog entries and update my links, as well as correct some errors I have found.

But all week I have been getting an 500 Internal Server Error / Internal Server Error when trying to login and on certain pages.

Now is back online! Thanks Rafe!

Yet Another Re-design

Have redesigned my blogs style-sheet yet again. I am never happy with it, but hopefully it will last a while. I have saved the Wood/Blue one just in case I want it back, and I may still tweak this one slightly.

What do you think? Do the colours work? How does it display on your browser (Only tested on Mac IE/Safari and Win IE)?

One Year Old

I have just realised that my blog (which was started on Blogger) is a year old. I started it on 31st March 2003 as a place to post about my new 7650 phone and my life in general.

Well I hope I am still blogging here in another year, and maybe I will add more of my 1993/4 entries from hand-written diaries.

Thanks to Martin for pointing out to me that some of the feeds for my site were being cropped.

After a pop over to the Movable Type Support forum I found some code to make the posts output in RSS 2.0 Index display the full article.

So if you read this site via a feed the index.xml has been updated.

Was a interesting article on the BBC website about a new tool for spammers. It the lowly Comments box for your Blog. To read this story Click Here for the BBC article on "FlyBlogging" (as it's called).

Also the creators of Movable Type have a section all about this new "Spam". To view Click Here.

Hello SymbianDiaries!

Hooray! I have finally arrived. Today I have moved my Blog from Blogger to SymbianDiaries.com running Movable Type.

To read more on why click on Continue reading "Hello SymbianDiaries!"

This decision was made as I have 1993/4 diaries that I would like to bring online and Blogger would only allow postings back to 1999. I was also having no luck setting Movable Type up on my Mac at home.

Plus as a Symbian User what could be better than having a SymbianDiary.

Thanks Guys for having me, and I know I am going to enjoy blogging here!
