As you might have noticed, I've completely re-jigged everything at Vavatch. It's something that I've been meaning to do for a long while and I'm quite pleased at having moving the website to a new hosting service and also getting everything up running in just one morning. There's also a new messageboard which I've been playing about with, and this weblog is now running on new, more advanced and stable software.

The entire site should be a lot quicker and a lot easier to navigate (hence the whole photo.vavatch.co.uk and weblog.vavatch.co.uk) and there's a lot of increased functionality.

[Digression - I've been saying that a lot lately without really specifying what I mean.]

Some stuff of course hasn't been tidied up; there are probably a lot of broken links around the place (for which I created a nifty customised 404 page) and other stuff looks out of place or a bit ugly. This will get remedied sometime during this week.

With this new hosting service I'm on, I can also run mailing lists and use 100 pop3 addreses @vavatch.co.uk; when I've got time (i.e. not anytime soon) I might offer some of those pop3 addresses to readers here.

The Karma thing at the bottom - it's a way of rating posts here. It probably won't stay long since I'm bound to get annoyed by all the negative scores. The archives are still working fine.
