Improvements to the blog

You may have noticed a few small changes to the layout of the blog - including the photo slideshow in the column on the right. This is the result of various new and improved "gadgets" that have been released.

One of the best of these is rather less obvious, however, and that is the search option (also in the right column). This is much improved - apart from anything else the results appear on this page rather than taking you elsewhere. It also has options that allow you to direct your search at just this blog, or sites linked to from the blog, or the entire web. Try it out and see what you think!
