Bunker 58 » General http://www.bunker58.co.uk No military, no golf... just a place with words and pretty pictures.

I used the following page as an example when it came to making the necessary theme tweaks and it makes for a fairly good introduction into the use of custom fields.

So far, these are the mood (or non-mood ‘status’) graphics I’ve had a chance to make:

I have been giving the site a lot of thought, I’ve not really been running it as a site for other people (yeh, you lot!), more a site for me to work on (and retain dimming skill/familiarity with WordPress) that people just happen to be able to see. Also means I can link friends/associates or others to stuff I’m working on, though more recently these projects have been handled over Skype or through Twitter DM and I’ve been too apathetic (from the stresses of full-time work saddled with an NVQ outside of hours and a long distance relationship) to drag myself on here and post something, anything!

So for now, I’m alive and guilt ridden… I’m going to be working on graphics for site use and building out sections over the coming months but for starters I’m going to backdate some content that I could (and should) have posted at the time and get them live  (Thank god I’ve started dating my doodles/illustrations) and I’ll list those in a ‘Hiatus broken, bunker repaired.’ Follow-up!

I’m not that sorry, now that I think about it. ;) :D

Edit: I’ve dropped the blogroll and am manually building a new list of links in the sidebar. Also added an ‘about me’ blurb (Stolen from Twitter) complete with ‘demi-god/cam-whore’ style avatar.
