I have not posted here for a while as I am now using blogs hosted by 3rd parties giving me better access to the design etc. The main blog has been transferred to www.outserve.biz and I have transferred the posts from here to there. This is hosted by Yahoo using wordpress, not a bad deal as they promise to upgrade WordPress to the latest version as well. I am posting quite randomly to this blog and testing certain plugins such as the delicious tag auto poster and different themes.
I may post from time to time here as well.
I have also started www.flosbus.com details below. This is hosted by bluehost and comes with fantastico which can auto install many open source projects including WordPress which the blog is running on.
flosbus.com

The purpose of Flosbus.com is not to review the software or necessarily offer an opinion on how good it is but to raise awareness of products and summarise factual information such as what platform compatibility and where you can download the software from.
If any uses of any software mentioned would like to comment on the software and their usage of it, it would be greatly appreciated.
