Upgrade to WordPress 2.3.1

If this is here, then my upgrade to the latest version of WordPress and a new theme won’t have been a complete disaster. If it isn’t here, then let’s keep it to ourselves, eh?

23 Actionable Lessons from Eye-​​​​Tracking Studies. An old post (well, Nov 13th), but one well worth reading when you’re designing a site. Here’s point number one as a taster:
