(PENDING)Whats happened to my blog...

[Green George]

Can anyone help me establish what is going on with my blog, please?

I like a lot of members maintain a blog on my car (www.pistonheads.com/members/showcar.asp?carId=236695). However I have noticed that the formatting has been lost and the photos are no longer being displayed.

Can anyone help me get the blog back in order, please?

[Green George]

Hi Big Al, thanks for the fast response. Excuse my ignorance what do you mean by bump, please?

I have tried e-mailing as well without success. Not sure what do other than politely wait in line.

Hi!

Sorry for the delay, there has been a mad rush after Le Mans and I'm sifting through everything still. I've asked the dev team to have a look and should have an answer shortly!

Cheers

Hi Jack. May I have an update please?

[Green George]

That doesn't sound promising.... in your opinion is this fixable?

They'll only fix it when they can devise a method of getting some income from it!

Okay, so if they don't fix it within a reasonable period of time e.g.another week, what are my options for hosting a blog for my car?

If you are right, my opinion is it is very short sighted as Pistonheads has always been a site for ALL petrol heads. I have been a member from early on and way before Autocar bought the site. Not sure where to go and how to host a blog.... which is annoying.

[Green George]

Very annoying! I have been looking at blogger and wordpress. I haven't yet found one that offer an option to make historic dated entries; so that I can record the history of my car chronologically.

Thank you!

Right set up a free Word Press account but it does not get along with my iMac and refuses to play nicely. Every time I try to upload a photo the browser freezes and I have to restart the computer.
Will try Blogger.

[Green George]

Right, I downloaded the Wordpress app and that plays nicely with my iMac.

https://caterhamsuperlight106.wordpress.com/ this is a work in progress so bear with me.

Bit of a post hijack (however, it is my post) can someone explain how Wordpress 'categories' work please?

I set up a category for each topic:

Full history
Service history
MOTs
Insurance
Repairs and mods etc etc

However it just list the title and then each category under each title. What I want is a list of categories so that anyone can interrogate the blog and obtain the information they are interested in (as long as it falls into one of my categories).

[Green George]

and it was going so well. I am now getting a blank page when trying to edit.... Steep learning curve.

[Green George]

Right I am back on track. I was using the Wordpress app which was locking up. By using Safari I have been able to continue the work. What a palaver! I was perfectly happy with the Pistonheads blogging facility. However, per adura ad astra....

Thank you, it is a beauty. You are spot on about be able to steer on the throttle. With skinny 175 tyres you have so many options available you you.

I gave up and have moved to Wordpress https://caterhamsuperlight106.wordpress.com
