Right - I've been mucking about trying to put together a build blog. Here it is:

http://web.mac.com/greatoldone/

The Blog has an RSS feed on it, but I don't think its working just yet... I was dicking around with CNAME stuff to redirect my greatoldone.co.uk domain to my .mac site, and I don't think everything has bottomed out yet. But the diary seems to work. Check it out.

Nice look Goo-ster like it Intro is excellent - can you have a premature mid-life crisis at 25? Cos I think I did

I'll be spending the next ages looking through it

Thanks! I can't take any credit for the look though - it's all iWeb templates.

It's made it all very easy to bolt together though - cut & paste, then hit the big 'publish' button.

Results are very good for a bolt together I've added you to the link on my site

Thank you...

Just waiting for the DNS to propogate and you should be able to get to it via [url]www.greatoldone.co.uk[/url] in future.

Looks like the DNS has worked its way through, and the [url]www.greatoldone.co.uk[/url] link is working now. The RSS is also working.

I'll start bunging a links page together and put yours, Robin's & Peter's sites up, along with all the usual 'useful' links.

I've added another builders page - I do hope you guys don't mind me putting your sites on there, along with a purloined pic of your magnum opus.

Yup DNS has updated for me too, I'll change the link Don't mind at all, thanks for adding me

Just took a look at your new site.
Very amusing and great looking layout.

....... now get back out in that garage, your supposed to building a car not websites

Hmmm - something seems to be wrong with my blog pages - for some reason, a whole load of them hae the title misplaced, so it's touching the main text. I can't for the life of me work out why, as the templates are all exactly the same.

They all seem to be ok to this entry here:

http://www.greatoldone.co.uk/Site/Build_Diary/Entries/2006/8/5_Twinkle%2C_Twinkle%2C_Shiny_Valve....html

But the from the next entry on

http://www.greatoldone.co.uk/Site/Build_Diary/Entries/2006/8/9_Torqing_Of_Bolts%2C_Here’s_some_I_installed_earlier.html

It's squished up against the text.

Anybody got any ideas? I'm not a web expert, and all the code / html on the site has been generated by iWeb - so I haven't got a clue as to what's going on behind the scenes!

I've had a quick look but the HTML behind that gave me a headache!

Try putting in a line break (<br />) or two at the start of the para, that'll give it a bit more room to breath

I think it's sorted out now - I've duplicated each of the affected pages, deleted the offending one and republished. It looks ok in Safari my end - can someone take a quick look in IE & Firefox?

All the pages I've looked at so far look fine, FF3 on Mac
