Small Site Tidy Up

In keeping with my previous post, I have tidied up a little bit using widgets in the sidebar.  You will notice that the Categories and Archives sections are now drop downs and that I have a recent comments section on there.  The reasons for this are that the Categories and Archives were taking up a huge amount of usable space and I would rather they be kept out of the way until they are needed.  I added the Recent Comments so that I could see at a glance if anyone had noticed anything on the site

Anyway, I don’t think anything is particularly broken, but let me know if something isn’t working or looks strange.

Gravatars

I’m currently fiddling with Gravatars. So you will see either a picture of a face or a picture of the favicon of this site (the little box) while I figure out how to do it right. To clarify, you will only ever see the favicon if you don’t have your own Gravatar or if it breaks somehow. My Gravatar comes from the BBC series Life on Mars (the Camberwick Green episode) because it looks a bit like me.

On the comments page it works, so you should see what is supposed to be there. If I get fed up and stuck, I’ll disable them on the main page - I’m not totally convinced they’re needed on the front page because I’m the only author. …………..Decided to go without them on the front page, so you will only see them on the comments page.
