* “Not too fancy” is possibly a good thing, Olga. I have to use the UK government’s .gov site, to use my Job Centre journal: and the design is very easy on the eye. It’s supposed to be accessed on as many devices as possible, and easily used by people who aren’t computer literate. It’s nice and simple: and uses four colours at the most. At any rate, good luck with it!
(Oh, I always keep an eye on my media collection: the raw footage for December’s Teasers comes in at seventy odd gigabytes. Don’t ask about the Dr Who collection!)
† Hello, Mum!
‡ I’m glad I could help, Debbi … ! 🤣 At any rate? I’ve done a review of the episode, if you’re interested. And mentioning High Streets always makes me think of this song …
§ Hang on, Trevor, you’re saying you’re Tommy Vance? I’m impressed. And did you mean Pauline? Paula? Blonde woman, looked a bit like Emily Joyce?
Play fair, Trevor. Most of the pro reviewers — the ’papers, magazines, pro fan sites¶ — tend to get early access: so they can get a flattering review out on the day. I tend not to read them until after I publish mine: so I can avoid being influenced.
Q4) Eric Morecambe. (I think you got the year wrong. It was 1925)
Q5) Where Hands Touch I hope today's meeting goes well. Yes, I prefer things sites and Apps (not that I use that many) that are simple and not too distracting. It seems that it has become fashionable to have animated headings on websites, but I can't see myself doing anything like that any time soon. Although, if I get there, the next thing we're expected to design is a website (that, somehow, feels more natural to me, as I've had several blogs and a website already). We shall see.
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
