You’ll notice Crashed Pips is sporting a new theme, Carrington. It’s off the shelf, yes, but it’s gorgeous, at least in my opinion. There’s still a few rough edges to iron out, but hopefully you’ll find the site easier to navigate (and easier on the eye) than before.

The exciting thing about Carrington is that it’s pluggable. Endless months of experimentation wait… yay!

Rifling through the statistics page in the WordPress dashboard, I am mildly amused by some of the search terms some people use to access this blog.

Today, between 1am and 7:39pm London time, 51 visits have been made to this Web site. The top post, with seven visits to the posts page, is yesterday’s HOWTO on upgrading RAM in the Eee PC.

Quite amusingly, however, three people have reached this site today using the search terms – wait for it – “strip search”. They seem to be referred to the page on the rubbish BBC1 comedy from the people who brought you Scooby-Doo and Loose Change, The Last Enemy. One poor sod actually got referred here with the search terms “benedict cumberbatch naked”. Oh, Christ. Do people come here expecting it to be a cheap porn site?

Well, I’m afraid it’s not.

This site is now running WordPress 2.6 RC1 – and, quite satisfyingly, it now has a word count in the edit page, post revisions, and all sorts of other delights, including – for you, dear readers – faster page load times.

You’ll also note that the logo has been revised. Graphite-tastic…

Update at 1630GMT: Please note that the terms and conditions have been revised slightly, to accomodate for the now-public Crashed Pips Killfile Dungeon. It’s full of the unsavouries which are in the comment blacklist, for various reasons.

Update at 2238GMT: Some more functional additions to the blog now include the return of the Share This button, and some new, stylish drop caps on the posts. Oooh… shiny…
