New Look, Bits and Pieces
The old sidebar was getting a bit congested so I’ve expanded into three columns - hope you like the new look. Thanks to Megat for the theme.
In other news, I’ve added a Books + Links page about Creative Careers, and here’s a gentle reminder that I’ll be part of a three-editor Magma team speaking at the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival tomorrow, about how we edit the magazine.
I ventured out to Russell’s coffee morning recently - very enjoyable and I can confirm that they let in non-planning types. I still find it slightly surreal meeting ‘people from blogging’ for the first time, there’s a slight feeling of weightlessness, as if we’ve just been teleported down. Plus I couldn’t put the blogs to the faces until I followed the links on Russell’s post (check them out) - I was almost going to type ’so you don’t know who they are until afterwards’ - but if course it’s the other way round, isn’t it?

Hey Mark.
Am glad you like the theme.
You write beautiful.

Thanks Megat, Isobel is my Goddaughter, I wrote the poem after the first time I met her.

Nice sidebar. Nice color, nice balance. How big is each of the images? Teensy? I’m in the middle of putting my books (Amazon covers) on a sidebar, but they don’t always load (size restraint?). Do you have any problems like that?
Good stuff, your side bar.

Thanks Roger. The sidebar images are 160 x 80 pixels, I’ve not had any problems with them so far (fingers crossed). I see you’re using Amazon links in your sidebar - they look fine from here, are you still having problems?
Amazon links can be a bit tricky sometimes, I think they switched from hosting the images themselves to getting us to load them onto our servers - I sometimes have to tweak the image link in their code to point to the folder I use for images.
