*phew* The Race is over! Wow, what a marathon it turned out to be! I so enjoyed reading everyone’s entries! The different takes on the race concept blows my mind! From literal races, to psychological, from pulse-pounding entries to laugh-out-loud humorous ones! You guys have seriously made this a difficult job for me, picking my [...]

Boy, have I got updates for you! First off, you may have noticed by now that my lovely follower numbers have plummeted, thanks to an issue with a WordPress update! *grr* So if you were previously a follower, could I please trouble you to take some time to re-follow! As for new followers, hop on [...]

So I got a little note saying I should upgrade to WordPress v 3.1, because it’s oh, so cool and there’s so many new and different stuff. Now that I’ve updated, I notice barely any changes, apart from a little admin’s bar when I view my own blog. But upgrading has removed all my HTML [...]

OK, OK, people, you win! I was just writing my own story for the Race to 200 Blogfest (of course, I’m not eligible for the prizes, but I’m still getting in on the fun!), and I agree that 300 words is a bit ambitiously succinct. In fact, I realised it was a ridiculous word limit! [...]
