is what greeted me this morning.
Doesn’t seem to matter which theme I use. So it is unlikely to be a css problem; the theme it happened with last night was is as is, out of the box.
What I’ll probably do, then, is (a) keep researching to find the problem, which seems to be wordpress-wide, and [...]

So here’s something I’m looking forward to

The 26th Annual West Indian Literature Conference, to be held at COB next week.
Can’t think why the College is keeping so quiet about it!
Earl Lovelace is going to be giving a fiction writing workshop, hello.

Update on the look of this site
February 27, 2007 | 5 Comments
I’m testing this new theme out to see whether it’s the theme or the server or something else. I suspect it is the theme — the lovely Blue Zinfandel that I adapted to my purposes — and I would like eventually to go back to it, because the red is my trademark, but this [...]

An apology

The look of this site isn’t staying put the way I want it. Seems that this version of Blogworld’s developed the habit of snapping back to the default theme.
I don’t have time to work to find the bug at the moment. I’ve read up on it and believe it has something [...]

Things change, and we change with it.

The LitBlog Co-Op reads Ngugi

If you’re a Bahamian nationalist, a Caribbeannest, a pan-Africanist, or just someone who doesn’t believe everything that you see on TV or hear on the radio, you ought to be reading Ngugi wa Thiong’o.

Just so we know we’re not special

In terms of racism and racist rhetoric, I mean, here’s a tale about racism from Russia. A Russian Newsweek reporter and blogger, who is ethnically Kazakh, was attacked in Moscow by four young men.
Here’s an excerpt.
Most likely, it was an accidental attack by the neo-Nazis. Today, it may well be considered a routine crime ), [...]
