Hopefully this new bit of functionality will be a welcome feature easing the process of posting for all authors… Until now authors have had to hand-craft their Excerpt text and then go through an annoying process of inserting a thumbnail image and cutting & pasting that image in to the Excerpt. Now none of that [...]

With the Rab Mountain Marathon getting scarily close and our lack of running fitness becoming a real worry we thought we'd try a fell-run with a bit more ground to cover, and a lot more elevation to tackle ...

WordPress Post Grouping Plugin

Admin — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 10:00:45 +0000

This plug-in provides a simple, transparent, and automatic way to group a number of posts on your blog. For example, you might want to group a set of posts in to a series of articles about a given topic across WordPress’s default categories or tags.

May 2010; the driest month ever?

Pete — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:49:35 +0000

April, May, and June 2010 have been dry, very dry! There has been so little rain that we are threatened with a hosepipe ban being just days away. Perhaps the driest period (spring, early summer) ever? Well, that claim is certain to be inaccurate but it has been lovely climbing and adventuring weather for sure… [...]

Chamonix Webcam…

Pete — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:45:21 +0000
