I’d been admiring some of the other blogs that I read, and was feeling a bit envious of some of the widgets in the sidebars. I had a look in the wordpress help files, but really it was a waste of time, just blah, blah, blah. Nothing that my brain could understand. I’m crap with technical stuff. So i wanted to load a book list in the Widget column. I turned to the expert to give me some help. Enter Nathan, 12 year old propellerhead (not a geek). My lovely boy Nathan is fantastic on computers (like Dad and big brother), but has different talents. Dad is a fixer, Matt does graphics, Nathan does programming. So yesterday he made his own wordpress account and figured out how to load the pics into the sidebar. And he showed me how in plain basic language. He was a great teacher. Thanks Nathan. Still on the computer thing Nathan is using a laptop full time at school this term as a trial, the teacher and I are hoping to get a bit more written work out of him. We know he can do it, it’s just a case of pressing the right buttons. Nathan has been writing book and game reviews for the Upstart magazine, but that’s easy as he gets to keep the stuff he reviews. If Nathan could stay home and write programmes on his computer all day he would be happy. I’ve had a look at some of the stuff he has made lately and it really good. He’s even made his own game. As soon as he figures out how to load flash programmes onto his blog you will be able to have a look too. At the moment he has only just started his welcome page, but I’m sure it will be up and running soon. The www is Young Flasher (cause he uses flash, not cause he’s a pervert or anything) 
So no pic tonight, but check out the books on the sidebar, more to come. Ciao
