It's been a while since I promised a few new features for the site. The release of the new version of CodeIgniter prompted me to rethink the progress I'd made, coupled with moving hosting to PHP5, so I decided the website and content management system (CMS) needed a rewrite.

I toyed with the idea of transferring over to Wordpress but decided I'd much rather try writing my own blog system into the CMS. It's worked out quite nicely but with family about to expand I have had little time to test it properly - and will have even less in the next few weeks!

Hopefully all the features of the site will work nicely. I've fixed several issues over the last couple of days since the site was updated - not least being a lack of dates in the RSS feed!

Behind the scenes, the CMS is due for a facelift and I need better control over the CodeIgniter application itself. I also have to re-introduce spellchecking into the blog system!
