I am the proud ownder of a new banner! Malin has done an excellent job, incorporating a pinned Cetonia aurata (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae).

This marks the start of my adventures in changing the theme of my blog and having to learn some CSS and PHP. Changing the banner was more difficult than I imagined and I’ve not yet worked out how to get the perfect border around the banner.

Expect to some minor visual changes (probably the result of major work!) over the next few weeks.

Thanks Malin!

In other news: If you didn’t already know, Buglife lost its appeal against the the development of the West Thurrock Marshes and now has a legal bill of £30,000. A good commentary about this is given on The Ranger’s Blog.

I’ve just updated to the latest version of WordPress. I had one bug which I think I’ve fixed by editing and resaving a post which caused the sidebar to go to the bottom of the page and remove the posting background.

Today I added an events calendar and entered some of the Royal Entomological Society dates. I will add more dates over the weekend.

If I have missed any that you think should be on, or you notice an incorrect date, please let me know!

I’ve just updated the blogging software (this post is to check I’ve not broken anything) and should have the calendar plugin working over the weekend.
