More site changes

Filed under: site — kevin @ 01:58

I’ve been making some dramatic changes to the software that runs this part of the site.

Things look a bit different as the page templates have changed, but old links should still work (several hoops had to be jumped through to make that happen).

For the technically-minded the change was from Movable Type to WordPress.

Let me know (using the ‘Contact me’ link below) if you manage to break something.

Mailing list

Filed under: site — kevin @ 14:30

I’ve created a mailing list for people who want to receive email updates on what I’m up to in Nigeria.

Most of the same stuff will be appearing on this site, but email is sometimes less hassle than having to remember to check a website.

To subscribe, send an email to:

  kevinnigeria-subscribe at caboose.org.uk

The mailing list software will reply with more instructions (although it seems to take a while).

Departure date looming

Filed under: VSO — kevin @ 20:02

Now that I’m back living at my parents’ house in Stirling I can concentrate on the various things I need to sort out before leaving for Nigeria.

In fact, one of the things was filling in the Nigerian visa forms. My departure date is now the 11th of February, leaving Edinburgh at 1630 and getting in to Abuja at 0525.

It’s all seeming a bit more imminent now that I’ve quit my job and I’m concentrating on preparing for Nigeria.

Improved ‘Contact me’ links

Filed under: site — kevin @ 19:54

After months of neglect I’ve been tweaking a few things on the site, mostly not visible but it’s all part of the plan to let me update this from Nigeria.

The Contact me links at the end of each post now include some information about the page they’re on, so I can work out what people are on about when I get a message.
