The Build Doctor is married, back from honeymoon and straight back onto a project. It hasn’t escaped my attention that this blog took too long to load pages. Pingdom would taunt me every month with reports of the response time being 2 over 2 seconds. That turned out to be the expensive WordPress theme making [...]

Update: this is all done. In any case, you North Americans should be sleeping, or partying: That’s 5 hours before US East Coast, 8 hours before the West Coast. If you’re in Europe or the UK, that’s another story. Sorry. The VPS server is being moved.

I posted a survey on Friday, and yanked it the same day. Sorry, it was pants. Sorry too if you got an RSS feed entry or a tweet about it. My bad. I have made a different and hopefully better version. If you could take the time to answer 3 questions, you get to help [...]

Happy new year! I have done some long-overdue admin work – silly things like upgrading WordPress plugins, etc. The Related Posts plugin has been replaced because it didn’t actually seem to work. Hopefully as I finish adding the right categories to pages, it’ll be useful. The Creative Commons license didn’t migrate over from Blogger. It [...]

It now runs WordPress hosted on a Debian Linux VPS, humming away in a datacentre somewhere. I have all the articles moved over. The Feedburner [...]

I had no idea how the Internet was going to respond to my little niche blog. At first, it didn’t. Slowly things built up and a pattern emerged. My audience is mostly in the USA. Almost all the traffic in the week, barely any in the weekend, and most of it driven by Google searches. [...]

(image arranged and photographed by my 5 year old daughter) Its been a little over a week since this blog was removed from the Planet TW aggregator. It was absolutely the right thing to do. That didn’t stop me being nervous about doing it. The problem was the lack of feedback from the users that [...]

(image taken from Ade’s photostream – which is appropriate as he made the Planet TW aggregator what it is today) The Build Doctor has been up and running for almost 6 months now. I don’t have a target for subscriber numbers or page view at the moment. This blog is about creating some useful advice [...]

(image taken from Tevor’s Photostream) Thanks for all your comments so far. It’s nice to know that people are reading and (in just a few cases) correcting me. I do appreciate feedback – of all kinds. Here’s an outline of the ways you could track what’s going on here, and get in touch. How to [...]
