Just Finished Reading: Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci 📚
I don’t write many book reviews but for this one I will make an exception - with a good reason - but not yet.
I will be back. (If you will pardon a spot of ‘Arny Channeling’ !!!)
🚧Rebuilding My Micro Blog
By simply adding stuff / pages and plugins to my blog without thinking something eventually had to break - and it did. My thanks to @manton and @pimoore for pointing out the error. Turns out Hitchens doesn’t include a ‘Replies’ page - which caused my archive to disappear.
Flat Earth time. I mean - everything. (Barring two hidden pages being used for 🖇️ 🔎The Readers Republic ).
The Rebuild
- Install Hitchens ✅ - thankyou @pimoore
(need to move my footer into Hitchens footer.) - Install Conversation ✅ - thankyou @sod
- Install Surprise Me ✅ - thankyou @sod
- Reply By EMail ✅ - thankyou @sod
Next Steps
🚧
I still need to write more about this - but no more dilly-dallying - time to share regardless. The image speaks volumes.

📚 🚧 Funny how you come across stuff that is so cool - and then it disappears again … such as the Literature Map
I used it to create a 🔗 series of 7 posts last year and then it got lost.
Maybe something to use in the 🖇️ 🔎The Readers Republic?
🚧 CSS Experiments
🚧 Experimental Post as I play around with the CSS ... a LOT!

Managing Complex Change
🚧 Brought to my attention by Stuart Robbins, who went on to write ....
It is known as the Knoster Model for Complex Behavioral Change (circa 2000). For those who would like to know more, search for Timothy Knoster. In sum, Knoster identifies the 5 key elements needed for any Change Management initiative to be successful, and the relative symptoms caused if/when one element is missing.

Interesting. I went of looking further and found an even better image (see below) that adds context to the steps and happy smiling emojis that reflect the expected feelings! :-)
The keen observers amongst you will also spot a different order and an extra step - but the principle holds. (The principle being - as Stuart said in his original message to me ... (I paraphrase) ... how much information can be packed into a single image (doffing hat to E. Tufte.)

🚧 I have moved my blog from an old domain to this new space. At the same time introduced some design changes which on occasions causes the old posts to look odd. As I see them, I fix them - but specifically not going back into the archives to fix proactively - life is just too short.
🚧 Navigation
Some Useful Tips To Navigate The Articles
The RSS feed is here.
Article Navigation
Like any good WordPress blog, searching by category is of course possible. We have also work hard to only have a single category per article.
We then refine the indexing of the article with free form tags.
We have also introduced a second layer of article - which is 'post type' ... using this filter you can find posts, asides, videos etc
Combine the two look for
- category = work
- post kind = video
Hit 'filter' and back comes the list of all posts that contain 'videos' categorized as 'work'.
And then, of course, you have search!
🚧 Seen two separate references in the wilds of the blogosphere to this graphic in the last three days - no original source. Posting for posterity to revisit at some point.
