As the last few posts indicate (see March archive), I have recently changed the look of my site and was rather pleased with the result. As I mentioned on the Rapidweaver forum, most of the credit goes to Adam at seyDesign. I just added the colour scheme and a few other tweaks. Anyway, my visit rate has shot up as a result of that entry and so I’ve decided to be a bit cheeky and take advantage of the increased audience while it lasts.
Here in the UK the Swimathon (not too late to have a go yourself) has caught on quite a bit in recent years. It’s a charity event which raises money for care for the terminally ill. I have opted to go in for the SimplySwim section which allows one to swim in a pool of one’s choice and also to do the distance over several sessions. My challenge is to swim 100 lengths in a day (it’s a 25 metre pool, so that’s 2.5 km). It might take more than one session. As I mention elsewhere on this site, I am a bit of an old git although I have been swimming regularly for a while now. I would be most grateful if you could sponsor me, even for the tiniest of amounts. You can do this online by going to my page on the Swimathon website. Thanks in anticipation.

The more I’ve worked on this Rapidweaver theme called Gotem from seydesign the more I like it. In addition to changing the look, it has also encouraged me to put more of my writing onto the site. As mentioned before, I used Weebly to make another site called icklestories so I could put writing there. Strikes me now that this is a bit stupid seeing as I have established a perfectly good site, subtitled ‘graphics and writings’ right here. As yet there is only a story, The Curious Case of Terry Perry and the Flat-Screen Telly, a couple of other short bits of writing and a poem. I aim to add more in the near future.

As you can see, the look of the site has changed. A bit more subtle, I hope you’ll agree. Using the Rapidweaver Gotem theme from the excellent SeyDesign, I am currently adding writing to the graphics so the title of the site is something nearer the truth.
