On recommendation from a friend, I checked out a company called Big Wet Fish. They are a local company, well, local to me, based in Northern Ireland. I do like to support local businesses where possible.

There prices for their various packages are very reasonable and I have 3 or 4 different products with them. There is one thing that really stands out for me though. Their customer service is second to none, it really is fantastic. On the rare occasion that I have had to contact them, any problems have been resolved incredibly quickly.

For more information or to get hosting from them, you can check them out at www.bigwetfish.co.uk or click in the advert on the left hand side of my blog.

I’m really happy with how it looks, and how easy it was to customise. I like the advertising space options, and will probably make more use of them in he future. I will probably tinker about with the look of the blog for a while, I need to resize some images to bring down the size a bit, and speed up the loading time.

I would definately recommend Standard Theme to anyone looking for a functional, straight forward, easy to modify theme, and it doesn’t break the bank either.

Firstly I must apologise to those of you who actually visit my blog in a browser rather than via RSS. You guys will have noticed the theme changing quite a lot over the past few weeks. I had toyed with the idea of this becoming a photo-blog but  have changed my mind on that, and I am now looking for theme that isn’t predominately photo based, but is still simple. 

Hopefully within the coming weeks I will have 2 blogs, one will be this blog, a personal blog, and the other one will be a professional blog as part of a new photography website that will be coming hopefully in the near future. There may be a crossover in some of the content however. 

I have been doing photography for a few years now, and I love it. It really is my passion, and I finally am taking the steps, to actually set up my own business. Its something I have talked about for ages, and within the coming weeks that may be realised. So when the new website is all up and running, you will have to stop by, and subscribe to the new blog that will be there.

Any of you regular readers will know that Lorraine and I recently got married. The past couple of months have been really busy, changing names and addresses on all sorts of thing, getting the apartment furnished, and generally enjoying being married. It’s great by the way. All this has pushed blogging way down my list of priorities, and to be honest it has been nice to have to break. Over the next days and weeks I will be starting to update this blog again. What and when I blog is yet to be decided, but one thing I do know is that I will probably be blogging more photos that normal posts.

There have been a couple of changes on the blog. A new theme, I wanted a fresh look, but haven’t had time to customise the new theme, but it is a new look. I will be tidying up my blog roll and links, removing old link, adding new ones. I have also enabled moderated comments, so after you comment I will have to approve your comments. The reason for this is while I was on honeymoon, and continuously since, there have been a number of comments from someone impersonating me. It is very annoying, and I wish i didn’t have to moderate my comments, but unfortunately that’s the way it will have to be, but for you regular commenters hopefully that won’t put you off commenting.

Some of the facts in this video are pretty cool.

Hopefully I can get it all to work soon and things will be back to normal.

Update: I have given up trying to get the iPhone blogging platforms to work. I have tried everything except completely wiping and reinstalling wordpress, and I don’t care that much. So I guess if I want to blog from my phone I will just type it in notes, then copy and paste into safari.

Time to decide the winner. There were 20 comments, one of which was me, so I will use the random number generator at random.org to generate a number, and that comment number will be the winner, simple
