Glitches, database issues, theme conflicts and errors seem to be solved as of today and I decided to move back to Denis de Bernardy’s superb Semiologic theme which I was running for ages when I had this blog running on Word Press 1.5. This one is the latest Semiologic version (v4), now sitting on Word Press 2.0+ and it looks great as always and I’ll be adding bits and pieces but this is the one for now so I should be able to actually get on with posting regular again. If you want to see what the older Semiologic looks like, I’m still using it on my other blog at Floorelevators.com.

OK, as you can see if you click on any of the category links or archives we’re having major problems (php errors) right now as well as going through a webhost move and several database issues so please have patience. I’m hoping everything will be sorted out by the weekend OK. And there will be more posting  asap. Thanks for the patience !

A lot of fuss yesterday caused by a sensationalist Guardian headline “YouTube Overtakes MySpace”. Writer Mark Sweney writes:

“YouTube has established itself at the top of the league of the new generation of community websites by becoming even more popular than MySpace, according to research.
The video sharing site has taken a 3.9% share of global internet visits a day compared with 3.35% for MySpace, according to internet analysis company Alexa.”

What the article fails to tell readers is that the figures were taken from the small percentage of Internet Explorer users who have the Amazon owned Alexa toolbar installed on their browser, hardly an exhaustive user demographic. A fact only Mashable and GigaOm seemed to notice.
