We’re in the process of migrating this blog over to a self hosted WordPress install. Normal service will be resumed shortly.
We also realise that since signing up on twitter, we’ve been neglecting the blog somewhat. That’s all gonna change. :)

Blogger Dynamic Views drop down menu
I really didn’t like the Link List solution so I knocked up a jump menu which takes up far less space. To add this to your own blog, simply add a new HTML/Javascript widget and paste in the following code (remember to change the URLs to your own blog).
If you have a better way of doing the same thing (i.e; some better JavaScript), please post in the comments.
Dynamic Views – New ways to view our blog
The Google team have added some cool new views to blogger hosted blogs known as Dynamic Views. The blog author has to have enabled RSS feeds as this is how the new views grab the content.
Unfortunately, for now at least, readers have to append /view to the blog URL to use these views, there is no direct link on the page. We’ve got around this for now by using the Link List widget and manually adding links to the various views (look just under our Facebook feed in the right column). I think this would be much tidier with a small jump menu in the top blogger nav bar.
Google have put up some information about Dynamic Views for readers and authors.
[Update] We’re now using a WordPress blog instead so this is defunct.
