Yesterday Nuth decided that it was time that Leon tried solid foods. This turned out to be really rather amusing, although not so for Leon, let me explain.

We had picked some bananas from the garden the day before and hung them up to turn yellow, Nuth was eyeing them and suddenly got up and said she was going to the market. She came back about 30 minutes later with a small babies bowl and a spoon.

She then grabbed a couple of bananas, disappeared into the kitchen and came back out a while later with a bowl of disgusting… Continue reading →

You might remember me posting something a while back about having to employ a couple of people to help me out with my increasing work load. This has proven to be somewhat problematic in organising.

I really am sick of using Dragonfly CMS over at Koh Phangan Parties, the support from the developers is terrible, the code itself is complete garbage in places and the style sheets are a complete joke.

I would like to switch to using WordPress, ok I would have to customise it quite significantly but I think it would be a better solution in the long run. Also I like the fact I can make WordPress a lot more SEO friendly than Dragonfly, it took me 2 weeks of pain just to get the on the page issues sorted with my… Continue reading →
