Template under Construction

Photo by Otavio_DC

Quick head's up to say that I'm editing the Blogger template which makes Wellbanked look nice -- ostensibly to sort out the Disqus commenting function.

At the moment the functionality seems to appear twice for those commenting, which isn't good.

Hopefully I should have this sorted in a couple of days. I have / intend to:

• Saved the existing template to my PC
• I have saved the titles and contents for the various widgets in my Google Notebook
  • Gives me a backup of the widgets :-)
• I've checked the underlying code for analytics tools like Google Analytics, AmungUs etc. that I've put in over time
• Revert to original template - Blogger functionality
  • Save it
• Put original template through the Disqus template integration process
• Restore widgets as appropriate / as needed
• Put in a widget from Twittercounter
• Put in a widget from MyBlogLog
• Pick up on a number of dormant draft posts and publish them!

"Motherland" - photos of Russia

I saw a link to this book by Simon C Roberts on the BBC News website.

I can't find the exact link right now, but the photos featured by the Beeb were fascinating, and concentrated on life in the winter around the Russian city of Murmansk (although the book covers the whole of the Country).

The photos tell a story of life where the Sun is but a glow on the horizon even at midday during Winter, where temperatures are life threatening, and the latent ecological damage from the abandoned materiel of war is a disaster in the making.

However, have a look for yourself and make up your own mind.
