I was trying out a new theme on my blog. It was just a bit of playing around really. People familiar with WordPress or know that experimenting with a new theme is not really a big deal most of the time. But I haven’t been happy with the way the blog looks for quite awhile. anyway…
To my surprise the whole thing crashed. I thought it would be a straightforward job to restore it. But it seems to have taken my database with it. Most of what has been lost I can find in various backups. But on reflection, I think after 20 years of writing blog posts the things become something of a mess. what looked cool in 2006 looks cheesy now. And a lot of what I wrote was very much of the moment and is now no longer any interest to anybody, not even me.
So I think rather than restoring all my previous content, I’m going to go through it and create new content based on it but which fits in better with the modern world. People don’t read blogs like they used to anymore. They certainly don’t use them as a source of news. That’s now handled by glamorous people with outgoing personalities on TikTok.
So please bear with me while I’m editing it. But I hope with the new look and new content Colin’s Beauty pages will be more useful, more readable and last but certainly not least I’ll also be able to get rid of all the dreadful clipart that I used to use from a CD that came with a computer magazine.
I hope you’ll enjoy it.
