I’ve finally found a new WordPress theme that I like – So out with the old fixed-width(ish) browns & greens, and in are the new dynamic-width whites & blacks of the Atahualpa Theme.

I’ve also replaced the default banner images of fruit & trees with some banners snipped from my photo collection.  They’ve turned out much better than I thought they would – Not bad for 5 mins work with Paint.NET

I’ve just made a few back-end changes to my blog:

• Upgraded to WordPress 1.7
• Updated all plugins
• Installed new Facebook integration plugin
• Upgraded to latest version of Windows Live Writer

So this post is just to test all that lot is working correctly

As there’s a few scans of really old photos being uploaded to the St Bertelines School facebook group, I thought I’d ask my mum to try and dig out some old photos.  This weekend she dug out a newspaper clipping from back when the school first opened.

I’ve scanned the photo in and uploaded it to facebook, but as facebook tends to restrict the dimensions of uploaded images I’ve attached the full size image to this blog post for your viewing pleasure

This scan was taken from the Friday May 13th 1983 edition of the Runcorn World newspaper.

Enjoy!

We got back from our 2 week stint in the Outer Hebrides last night…

Whilst we’re still trying to get everything unpacked and tidied up again, I caught a few minutes to start downloading all the photos off my camera.  So far I’ve put the photos from Ste and Cathy’s wedding online.  The photos from the holiday (amost 1.5GB of them!) will probably follow sometime this week…
