			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve updated an old free website template of mine, <a href="http://www.edg3.co.uk/templates/spring-bloom/" title="Spring Bloom">Spring Bloom</a>. I though it was about time I went back and cleaned up my previous templates, and got ready to release some new ones!! It&#8217;s only been about 13 months since my last update to this site&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway you can <a href="http://www.edg3.co.uk/templates/spring-bloom/" title="Spring Bloom">preview the updated design</a> or <a href="http://www.opendesigns.org/designs/?id=3" title="Direct Download">download it from Open Designs</a> right away!</p>
<p>Over the coming weeks they&#8217;ll be a lot of changes to this site, and it will be turning a bit more <em>&#8220;personal&#8221;</em> and not centered around my portfolio of work and freelance stuff - not that it ever was if I&#8217;m honest. The reason for this is that I&#8217;m now working full-time for a digital agency in Chester, England. Actually I&#8217;ve been working there for close to a year, part of the reason why I never really continued doing anything with this domain. We&#8217;ve also got a new design created by our creative team ready to be coded up and put live as well, when we find some spare time in between client work - isn&#8217;t it great how when you want something of your own done, you get flooded with other stuff that takes priority!</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and Kontera context ads are <del>going</del> gone! So to is Adsense I think.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well as the title states, I&#8217;ve lost quite a lot of this sites content. My site is powered by <a href="http://www.wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> and for some reason one night last week there was a database error, OK no problem I thought, I&#8217;ll just reload the latest backup I have. It turns out the latest backup I have is from over 2 months ago, and roughly 6 weeks ago I made a lot of structural changes to the pages (but didn&#8217;t create a backup immediately, that&#8217;ll teach me!), including the <a href="/templates/">free templates</a> page, which is quite popular and where most of this sites 15,000+ unique visitors per month end up going. I&#8217;d had them (the free templates) organised into their own seperate pages instead of &#8220;blog&#8221; posts announcing them but thats all lost now until I get round to rewriting all of the content for them, oh well, it happens I guess.</p>
<p>For now though, if you want any of my <a href="/templates/">free templates</a> then I suggest you head on over to <a href="http://www.opendesigns.org/">Open Designs</a> and find your way to <a href="http://www.opendesigns.org/profile/?user=christopher">my user profile page</a>. Not all of the free templates are listed on Open Designs yet, thats my fault for not uploading them all, so if you want any of the ones not listed then you can find them in the <a href="http://www.edg3.co.uk/download/">download directory</a> on this site.</p>
<p>Anyway, sorry again if you&#8217;re trying to access any links from <a href="/portfolio/">portfolio</a> or <a href="/templates/">free templates</a> pages, I&#8217;ll do my best to get this sorted as soon as possible!</p>
<p>On a side note I&#8217;m always testing out <a href="http://www.google.com/adsense/">Google Adsense</a> on this site, something which I have not really used before on my personal site, but we&#8217;ll see how it goes. Any extra money to cover the hosting costs / hours of my personal time spent creating my free website templates can&#8217;t be a bad thing. So they&#8217;ll be showing up on various pages over the next couple of weeks and I&#8217;ll have a test run of about 2 months before deciding on whether to keep them up or not. Comments about them / ideas where to put them which aren&#8217;t too obtrusive are also more than welcome!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As of March 27th 2007, Google has made some additions to the Google Pack that will satisfy your fun side and your sensible side. The Google Pack&trade; service, a free collection of essential software with millions of users that removes the hassle of finding, installing, and updating software, now delivers new security options and a fresh way to display photos.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s new:</p>
<ul>
<li>Symantec Norton Security Scan: Get basic virus protection from a world leader in PC security. Security Scan features automatic security updates and scheduled scanning, all without a subscription fee.</li>
<li>PC Tools Spyware Doctor Starter Edition: This exclusive version of the award-winning anti-spyware and anti-malware utility includes scheduled scanning, threat removal, limited active protection and free automatic updates.</li>
<li>Google Photos Screensaver: Turn your screen into a digital picture frame that displays the latest photos from your friends, family, and favorite photographers. Show images from your computer, Picasaâ„¢ Web Albums, or photo feeds from other photo-sharing sites.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p>Google Pack downloads and installs these and other essential applications quickly and easily. The Google Updater, included in the Google Pack, keeps them up to date so you don&#8217;t need to worry about missing out on new features. Google Pack Beta is available in 12 languages, runs on Window XP and Vista, and supports Internet Explorer 6.0 and Firefox 1.0 and higher. So what are you waiting for? <script type="text/javascript">google_ad_client = "pub-8969960919367722"; google_ad_output = "textlink";
google_ad_format = "ref_text"; google_cpa_choice = "CAAQqPHHmwIaCKPtjOsL25tqKOD-uosB"; google_ad_channel = "";</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script></p>
