Personal Stuff 13/04/08

Spring is in the air! Well it is April. The snow has finally stopped (for the time being) and it’s really starting to feel like spring. We went out yesterday afternoon and grabbed a few shots of the glorious beach and weather around the coast. Not to mention a half asleep bumble bee (see below).

It’s been a bit of a lazy week this week (lazy in that we’ve not really gone out besides shopping). However on Friday my new toy in the shape of a Nintendo Wii arrived. I’d decided just before Christmas that I wanted to get one, not for playing games as such but to get a little bit of exercise with, and something a bit more interactive than jogging on a trampette or following some fitness DVD. I’ve just got the bare basics of Wii Sports, however the new Wii Fit sounds pretty good too. Of course, it’s no replacement for fresh air and outdoors exercise, but it’s a fun way to get a little more exercise into our lives! Although after a stint on the tennis and boxing I was worn out on Friday night!

On Thursday I also got taken on as a new author over at Blogging Tips. I’m writing once a week on a Sunday for them, about advanced WordPress such as template tags, coding and plugin creation. My first post has gone live – Understanding the WordPress Template Hierarchy. I’ve worked out that I need to write a few intermediate type posts, before I can go any more advanced, else I won’t have anything to refer people to if they don’t understand bits! Anyway, would love any suggestions on advanced topics I could write on. I have about 2 months worth already worked out but knowing what others would find of interest is always handy.
