Because of the ongoing problems with Pohanginapete (the blog, not me), I've finally taken a deep breath and upgraded the template. In the short term the appearance is likely to mutate until my dissatisfaction reaches a level I can live with for a while. If the change proves disastrous, I have the old template — and the blog itself — saved, so in theory I could restore everything.
Links to blogs and other interesting sites will go up eventually. Unfortunately, the transfer isn't quite as simple as changing the other aspects.
Here's hoping the changes reduce the number of problems. Feel free to comment on the new format. What doesn't work so well? How might it be improved? What do you not want me to change?
(The photograph's just to make this post look pretty. Well, I think this tachinid fly looks pretty.)
Update (17 Jan 2014): The upgraded template hasn't fixed the problem that the blog doesn't update in other people's blog lists. I've discovered a few other problems, too (e.g. the template I chose only allowed one 'page' in the bar beneath the blog description, so I've had to change the template). Still, I'll persevere. Keep the suggestions coming. :^)

The diagonal pattern vibrates badly for me.
Thanks Zhoen. It's a default, so I'll see if I can change it. In the longer term I'll replace the background with something unobtrusive and more pleasant.
every hair in place...
Thank you, gz. Every hair in place — like this?
Black lettering on a dark grey background is hard to read. If there's an alternative for us older folk, it would help. Thanks for asking.
EasyDiverChris, thanks for pointing that out. I've lightened the backgrounds and altered some of the text colours to work better with the lighter background. Hope this works for you.
Kia ora Pete, My eyes jumped a bit when I came here, and after so many years found a new format. Change is good, sometimes hard to get our heads around but good.
Cheers,
Robb
Kia ora Robb. It was time for an update, and I trust the improved ease of posting — a post used to take ages to format correctly — will encourage me to post more frequently.
Great to see these amazing photo's Pete, and the descriptives linked to them. Really meditative and calming.
I may get blogging again myself, sometime! :-) The best wishes for 2014 coming your way. :-)

Thanks Linda, and best wishes to you, too :^)
