I feel like we should organise a house-warming to help you settle into your new --home-- blog.

Still sticking to Blogger?

Alan, I've to stick at this one for a year cause I splashed and rented/bought CyberScroll.Com for a while.I like using blogger and couldn't be bothered trying out typepad, wordpress or any others. I'm getting too old for all that, when you reach 35 you'll see ;-)

Thanks for mentioning html comments -I'll try and sort it
