PigPog

We had a fun day out in Bristol yesterday, meeting up with a couple of Sam’s friends. I took a few photos of them and the city – they’re in this Flickr set.

I’ve been playing with a custom theme for PigPog, which moves our ‘Oinks’ (little posts with no real thought behind them) into a sidebar (here, all being well!). It seems to be working ok, so I’ve just activated it for the live site. It’s not as pretty as it could be yet, even allowing for my limited web design skills, but I’ll keep tweaking it. As usual, do pass on any thoughts – it could help the tweaking process.

All seems to have gone smoothly again. I used WPAU to do the upgrade automatically, which worked fine. The new admin interface looks nice, and I’m posting this through the new ‘QuickPress’ feature – a posting form on the Dashboard page. Cute.

We collected our bikes today, so we had to go and find a nicely deserted car park to try them out on. Flat, and nobody around to laugh when we fell off.

Neither of us fell off, and we managed to go from rolling along with our feet on the ground, to riding a little way along the road and back. We’ll probably do something similar again tomorrow, before we start working up to actually riding in public.

Once we’d done riding, I took the chance to get some photos of the bikes and Sam:

If the slideshow doesn’t work for you, you can just go and see the photos on Flickr.
