I’m developing a site that is based on all things Irish … Irish music, history, art, people, facts, etc.

It’s a site where I’ll be posting about the ‘positive’ aspects of Ireland. It will help me to develop my interest in Irish history and in writing about the uniqueness of everything Irish.

Call it a chronicle of sorts … an annals of Ireland.

I’ll be developing sites as sub domains of the main site … based on what I blog about.

My front/main page displays my posts in bold writing.

(Edit: Except of course this one appears normal when I checked it …. duh … go figure that!)

Everything is in bold writing.

(Posts are bold, Random Quote is bold, Page List is bold, Recent Comments are bold, Categories are bold, Recent Posts are bold, Blogroll is bold, Tags are bold and even the writing in the footer is bold …. aaagh).

I’ve been a little quiet here lately as I’ve been learning all about site creation, site content and site monetisation.

You might have noticed an increase in ads here …. the poor old blog is getting a right old mash up in experimentation!

I’ve found a cool plugin that allows me add videos to my site.

Check it out on the videos page!

On page one I like:

• Discover Ireland … an ad I know but I love the music ….. and the scenery!
• The Chieftains – Women Of Ireland (Mná na h-Éireann)
• Metallica – Whiskey In The Jar (Dublin Ireland, 2006) …. good man Phil!

And page two:

• Luke Kelly Song For Ireland ( slide show) …. an amazing singer … Rest in Peace Luke.

I’ll stop there ….

If you’re interested the plugin is called tubepress.

My blog is as slow as a wet week and I’m not fully happy with it at the moment.

I like the theme I have but perhaps it’s time to look for another one. The current theme has been up awhile and WordPress has been updated a few times since I installed it and the two may not be fully compatible with eachother.

So …. it’s another weekend of experimentation. I’m even considering moving the blog to another server to see if it will make any difference to its loading time.

Again …. dear readers (and ladies of the harem) bear with me as I mess up this blog again!

x x x  …. just to keep my harem going!

I forgot to upload a folder in my theme’s folder when i reinstalled my blog.

I did a bit of digging …… thankfully I found it fairly quickly.

Try it Grannymar ……

General question for y’all ….. is my site slow loading when you access it? It takes ages here to load and even longer when I click refresh.

Just wondering if my reinstall created more problems than solved them.

I’ve restored my blogroll.

If you’re not on it, it’s either I’ve forgotten to put you on or you haven’t asked me/given me permission to add you.

You know where I am!

I am still trying to sort out security here and have limited access to certain isps. There’s a chance that I might be blocking some of my visitors.
