Site Update

The new ninjapenguin mascot!

Well throughout the last couple of weeks there have been a few small changes made to the site which you may or may not of noticed! Mostly this has been making tweeks to the wordpress theme in order that it may be a little more organised and better SE optimised.

You may also have noted the addition to the top right of every page, which is the as-yet nameless and sexless ninjapenguin mascot.

Trip down to Keswick

About a week ago Jess surprised me and told me she was flying into Manchester in 2 days time . .which I was obviously quite excited about as I hadn’t seen her in almost 2 months!

So the last couple of days we have been seeing some of the Lake District involving a trip to Keswick yesterday.

The park down there was looking very autumnal with a fine array of colours on display (complemented through Jess’ very pink hoodie :P)

If you have ever been to Keswick but not seen the park then you are definitely missing out, its kept incredibly nicely and offers a nice get away from the always crowded center of town, definitely worth a sneaky peak!

I have been quite taken with how easy the whole experience has been, I have been trialling the wp install on my local dev sever for a little time, whilst developing the template and experimenting with various plugins and have been pleasantly surprised with the whole thing really. (more…)
