Regular visitors to the blog may have noticed some erratic behaviour of the site in recent weeks, most noticeably the disappearance of some or all of the right hand sidebar of links and local info. This is due to recent upgrades in the WordPress system we use to maintain and publish the site.
The overall look, feel and style of the website is defined by what WordPress terms a Theme. This includes things like the colour scheme, layout, menus and style elements. The Theme we have been using since the blog was first created is now old and no longer supported by the latest version of the WordPress editor. This means there are elements of our site we can no longer reliably edit and even some , as we are seeing, that are no longer displayed correctly, if at all.
We are currently working on moving the blog to a new Theme which will involve rebuilding some portions where we have lost material. We are hoping to publish some alternative designs shortly to canvas opinion on preferences and also collect any suggestions on blog content. In the mean time please bear with us if the blog seems to be misbehaving!
