Aha! Storify/Wordpress linking works now. As you were. I’ll be the one in the back room, tinkering.

Comment on Who to follow at Fringe 09 by Deborah

The venues promise they will promote your shows – along with a lot of other unkept promises. The Fringe has become so huge in number of shows (over 2,500 in three weeks) – largely due to the fact that so many venue managers are making so much money, they keep opening new spaces. It becomes extremely difficult to be found among the hubub of flyers and posters. The Fringe staff are exceptionally helpful, but there’s little they can do – it’s just too big. Word of mouth on our show, God’s Fool has been excellent, but it takes more than a week for that to take hold, so eight performances isn’t enough.

Comment on There’s more to Mervyn Peake than Gormenghast by Matthew

Just came across your post, thanks for some interesting tidbits on Peake. I’ve recently been reading the Gormenghast series and reviewing them for my blog. Although I have mixed feelings about the books Peake clearly had an extraordinarily vivid imagination, and I can’t wait to see the British Library exhibition.

Comment on Why’s the site gone white? by Milka Panayotova

I also faced the dilemma with my website and blog. Although it may be a purely visual thing though, it also depends on contents and whether you use any images to support text. White backgound may also get tiring for the eyes, as it projects a lot of light in your face, while a darker backgound has less light and is energy saving as well. But for longer texts white is less tiring for the eyes, while dark is good for image based sites. Anyway, try and see!
