    Filed by sjhoward at 00:53 on Saturday, 29th July 2006 under Site Updates.

    A couple of site updates have happened over the last few days. Firstly, the Javascript error IE users were reporting has been fixed. It wasn’t really an error as such, so much as something IE wanted to moan about. Switch!

    Secondly, I’ve finally got round to embedding audio files rather than merely linking to them. This is something that’s been bugging me ever since I’ve used (albeit third-party) embedded videos. Now, posts which rely on audio (like this one or this one) now have an embedded audio player, which is fairly self-explanatory (press the play button!)

    I’ve uploaded more work, particularly here, which I hope will be of some use to someone at some point.

    There was half an hour or so of downtime a couple of days ago when I, quite literally, pressed the wrong button, and zapped much of the site’s template into oblivion. Thank goodness for Google Desktop’s caching feature! If that didn’t exist, neither would much of the site right now…

    WordPress 2.0.4 is currently in the final stages of Beta testing, so I anticipate upgrading shortly. As usual with platform alterations, an announcement will be posted on the blog.

    Other than that, everything’s running pretty tickety-boo at the moment. Woohoo!

    Update - I’m now on Wordpress 2.0.4 - the update was released about three hours after I posted this, and was installed within 9 hours of release.

    Hi Benny,

    My Blogroll, which only appears on the homepage, is a direct import from Bloglines, my feed-reader of choice, so that you get an absolutely accurate reflection of the stuff I read.

    Unfortunately, Bloglines have been having a couple of technical problems lately, and their site’s been up and down a little. If it goes down, the Blogroll disappears from here, and I’m left with a rather silly looking title and an empty box until their site comes back online.

    So… in summary… it’s not my fault if it’s not there right now, but it should be back soon.
