Site tweaks

I’ve made a couple of noteworthy changes to the site:

  • The Amazon icons have been removed from the sidebar. I quite like them but they were causing the site to take an age to load. I’m not sure why. I might do some experimenting at some point to see if I can figure out what’s wrong, but for now they’ve been removed.

  • I’ve added a “notify me” checkbox on comments. This is checked by default, and should mean you’ll get an email if someone replies to a comment you’ve posted. If you don’t want to know, uncheck it.

  • I’ve also upgraded to the latest, bleeding-edge version of Wordpress. If anything looks odd, or goes horribly wrong, please contact me via the comments of contact form. So far (and I’ve been running this for a few days now) things appear to be fine.
