Broken Site Bits

Some parts of the site may not function as before.. after upgrading to WordPress 3.0  I have not checked everything, but there are some obvious breakages.  The main thing is the nav bar for pages on top… the links are there (in Safari, not Firefox) but not as they should be (have put pages list in sidebar). The site is due an overall (and some more regular input) so will leave it until I have more time.

Will spill some thoughts here over coming days about where I’m at etc..

Well hopefully FT’s (Financial Times’) decision not to publish the Amnesty advert to bring attention to Shell’s nasty Niger Delta history in time for their AGM has been seen more now than ever would have been if FT had printed it (indeed it was probably seen more in the Metro). It’s nice to see people passing on the ad via Facebook and on blogs and hopefully this has a big impact on Shell’s sense of responsibility for it’s exploits in Nigeria. Of course I feel obliged to do the same and here it is… (click to see big)
