STREAMLINED BLOG

I have removed a lot of items from the blog's sidebar. 

The moving world globe has gone, as have the SpaceX card art slideshows, together with lots of old links like the blog exclusives.

Has this improved access to the blog on your device at all?

Please let me know if there has been an improvement in access.

    With my obsolescent browsers that helps quite a bit, Woodsy.

    Thanks! -- Paul

    No real problem before, so no real change...it's the dynamic blogs I have trouble with, at the moment I'm useing the Library and I cant open Paul's Plastic Warriors or the Kiosko site, they are both too code-heavy for the County-coucil firewalls, they just register as spam and go into an eternal reload-loop! most side-bar stuff is old-school HTML and shouldn't pose to much of a problem (except for paul with his obsolescent browser! AOL on a free disc Paul? or BT dial-up...!), I shouldn't joke - they've got Bing at the Library, after Firefox it's like trading a Volvo 960 for a Morris Traveller with three wheels.

      Glad to hear you've no probs with Moonbase Hugh. I know what you mean about Bing. Came across it recently at a rellie's house. Wouldn't let me into Moonbase log-in cos its google-based! Internet Wars!

      I know what you mean...I can get into my blogs by googling Blooger.com and logging in, but following the hot-links in my own comments from Hotmail results in a 'this is a naughty page you can't look at' message!

    @Hugh: no dial-up here anymore. Supposedly broadband via TV cable, piped through a long lead to an AirPort router and then another lead to the MacBook. Which had a chockablock hard drive that I cleaned up recently and may have helped a tiny bit. Plus too many open browser windows that need "getting round to" but where I don't for one reason or another. And the Flash plugin that slows everything down to a standstill before crashing a couple minutes later, and then doing it all over again in each new window... (and I think that's where Woodsy's cleanup does help)
    I'd say a Traveller with four wheels but a heavy caravan in tow, the tires of which keep going flat.

      I would pray for you Paul...but I'm afraid my trust in pan-dimentional mega-beings is even less than my beliefe in Internet service providers! Still...you can always use the 'caravan' as an umbella if it's raining!

      Do you think Tim Bernard-Lees had all this in mind when he invented t' tinterweb Hugh?

    Thanks for the sympathetic thoughts, Hugh. And couldn't agree more. Perhaps there ought to be a Spaghetti Monster ISP to set things right. :)

    @ Woodsy: Not T Berners-Lee's fault, is my $.02. It's the modern-day planned obsolescence that keeps both soft- and hardware manufacturers in business by selling 'improved' versions of the same thing to the same people. Where you can't opt out for -too- long or you'll get progressively incompatible to the point of being completely unconnectable. Newer version of this needing a newer version of that and then requiring a newer version of processor meaning new computer. Grrr.
