For those readers who are new to Twitter, here are a few Salford- or Conservative-related Twitter feeds worth following:
Seems our local media are very proactive in embracing new media, then!
My apologies for the unavailability of this site over the last day or two. There has been a problem with my hosting company’s server hardware – a “catastrophic failure of the embeded network cards” (whatever that means). Everything should be back to normal now – please contact me if you encounter any further problems.
Just a quick reminder that in addition to this website, you can also follow me on Twitter – @cllrilindley.
Regular readers will notice that I’ve started to make a few changes to the site. It’s very much a work in progress and I’ll have a more professional-looking banner in place soon. Please bear with me while I make the updates and if you have any suggestions for site improvements do let me know!
Well it’s a fresh start for 2009, so I’ve had another trawl through my blogroll and removed a handful of sites which no longer seem to be updated. As always I welcome suggestions for new sites to add to my blogroll although of course I can’t promise to add all suggestions made.
I’ve just upgraded the site software to the latest version of WordPress (2.7). They’ve changed the administration area entirely and it’s going to take a bit of getting used to! As always, if you spot any problems with the site that have arisen after the upgrade please leave a comment and let me know – thanks!
