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?
