On Line Opinion, which I’ve linked through to a few times previously, is an a really good starting point for anyone wanting to hear a diverse range of views on Australian Current Affairs – from far left to far right and pretty much everywhere in between. I’d recommend it as a worthy addition to any (Australian’s) blogging list.
And I’ve added it to my blogroll on the right hand side!

Just because I was sick of seeing the same layout every day, and mostly because I came across this brilliant new WordPress template (see the link in the footer for the creator), I thought I’d have a bit of a try out of something completely different. No guarantees that it’ll stay – although my feeling is that we’ll go with it for a while. And have a bit of patience if things shift around a bit – still sorting out the little fiddly details. So leave your nasty, “I’m never coming back here again while you keep this design” comments after the tone.
Beep.

Having discovered that the overwhelming response to the Google ads is, well, apathy; it’s time for a new Poll. So this is what I want to know – do we know each other in real life? There’ll be some of you who know me well, and there are certainly some people who get on here who I’ve never met in real life. So vote – it’ll be very interesting to see what the split looks like. And remember – if you don’t fit into one of the categories – the “Add An Answer” button exists for good reason.

News has just come out that anyone can now get access to a Google Analytics account. I’ve been using Google Analytics for a few months now, and am still just as enthusiastic about it as I was when I started. If you’ve got a website and you want a pretty little stats collection tool – this is the way forward!

This post is being written in the latest new fandangled thing from the Microsoft “Windows Live” people – who look like they’re doing some pretty cool stuff. “Windows Live Writer” – which can be found here, is a WYSIWYG blog editor.
At this stage I must admit it does look pretty darn clever. It’ll suck down the styles from your blog and make it look exactly like it will end up in your post. Pretty smart. I’d say I’ll keep playing around with it – at this stage it’s only a beta and there will no doubt be some issues. I’ll have to give it a whirl on the train this evening too – see how it performs in an “offline” environment. If we even manage to make it work with “Ultimate Tag Warrior” (which I just plugged into the wordpress install), we might even use this regularly.
Pretty funky tool at any rate.
