It’s not that I go out of my way to use non-standards compliant HTML or CSS, but some of the specs seem pretty petty (tags must be lower case, img tags must have an ‘alt’ quality, you have to close your break tags), so I certainly can’t guarantee that the site will remain valid for [...]

New design for the blog
18 November 2005 – 12:16 am
As should be pretty obvious, I’ve re-designed the blog. Again. If it looks peculiar on your computer, let me know. I’ve pretty much decided not to make the extra effort to make the site work on early versions of Internet Explorer, but if it’s not looking right on IE6 I might need to do something [...]
Flickr interesting photo meme
12 November 2005 – 11:41 pm
Well, it’s not actually a meme unless anyone copies the idea, but hey-ho. Or at least, I guess technically it still is a meme, just an unsuccessful one. Don’t get me started on evolutionary theory.
Search Flickr for photos tagged with your first name. View them ordered as ‘most interesting’. Post the most interesting photo to [...]
New banners

You may have noticed that the site now has randomly chosen header images. And a photo credits page (link on the left) so you can find out where they’re from.
Why ‘Heraclitean Fire’?
13 August 2005 – 12:46 am
The title of the blog is from the Hopkins poem That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire and of the comfort of the Resurrection.
I think Hopkins makes a good touchstone for what poetry can be. His work is difficult - both linguistically experimental and intellectually abstruse - but it is always trying to communicate something. He [...]
Welcome to the new blog
13 August 2005 – 12:18 am
Or, rather, the old blog in a new place. I hope you like the new look; I think it’s now pretty much set up as I want it, but if you spot any glitches, let me know. I managed to import all the old posts, which was a minor victory (I’ll spare you the techy [...]
possible hiatus
10 August 2005 – 11:46 am
Frustrated by the frequent downtime at Freezope, I’m shifting my site, starting with this blog, to a new location. This involves moving from Squishdot, a Zope-based piece of blogging software, to WordPress (php/MySQL based). Since I’ve never used php this is a potentially fraught process that is likely to take up most of my attention [...]
book links
4 August 2005 – 9:20 am
At the bottom of the left-hand column are books I recommend. They are set up as referral links to Amazon (UK). I’m not seriously expecting a useful revenue stream from this, it’s just a way to liven up the appearance of the site. The plan is to occasionally add a new title, and as books [...]
redesign
3 August 2005 – 1:54 pm
You’ll notice the place looks different now. I doubt whether this version will last too long - I changed it because I thought the previous look was a bit too tasteful, too pastel. But this one already feels too self-consciously wacky, and I only just did it.
new links list
29 July 2005 – 1:22 pm
You’ll notice on the left of the page that I have a new links list. It will get longer - those are just the ones I did before getting bored.

testing something

testing a modification to the RSS feed.
Just so you know.
a faltering start
14 October 2004 – 12:29 am
I haven’t got off to a very good start on the blogging thing, have I? It was a probably a mistake trying to start The Poetry Blog and stormy petrel at the same time.
I actually set this blog up initally to play with Squishdot. I’d done a certain amount of redistributing and restyling on [...]
all about me
9 October 2004 – 9:41 pm
To be more accurate: not very much about me. I’m Harry Rutherford.
I write poetry as a hobby - hence the blog and the wiki. I’m also a mod at PFFA.
Other interests that might surface while I blog are food and birding. Or, they might not - who knows what I’ll feel the need [...]
