Stills

We've had one or two problems with posting comments. They seem to get stuck at half posted (appearing in the comments box, but not on the site pages and with no notification email sent). It always seems to affect Rex first, but I'm pretty sure that is coincidence! Anyway, the comments always come through when I force a republish, so if anybody finds that their comments get stuck in limbo, please just email me.

I'm not going to pursue this fault with Blogger as there is a major revision to the Blogger software in the pipeline. It rather looks to me as if the Blogger software/servers didn't scale very well and when Google bought them they underestimated the size of the job. General reliability seems to be improving and I'll take a look at the revised version when it is publically available before making any choices about whether to find a different way of managing the site.

Both Michael and John L have dropped our recently because of other commitments. I'll be asking Bruce for his nominee to keep the sequence going in due course, but in the meantime if anybody has a strong suggestion for an additional member to fill the vacancy, please contact me.
