2011-10-15T13:37:00.001+01:00

At home with Iain my nephew who is very kindly teaching me how to blog and introducing me to the world of technology.

2011-10-15T13:27:00.001+01:00

Morning all.
As you may have noticed, the old site has gone. Still got a few things to move over to here though. We have no gallery or merchandise pages yet. Will be working on this over the next week. Have installed a guestbook this morning so feel free to post in there.
I will use someone like Flikr for hosting any photos, just need to sign up and like it to the site :D

Those of you on Facebook will/may have noticed that Paula is posting the week venues on there under her own account as well as the business one. Yet another way of getting the venues and any other information out there to you all. I may see how it would work on twitter too.

2011-10-15T13:26:00.000+01:00

Good afternoon everyone. Managed to hack together my 2 part broken Macs to sort the old site out, a few technical problems with moving the site from .me to google blogger. Getting there though.

We are getting very up to date with how we get info out to you all. Moving to blogger was the start and now Paula has a Facebook fan page. Facebook fan page. Please 'like' the page and you can get all the latest news and happenings from there.

5 weeks till I go for a 9 day visit to Scotland and then I can bring Paula kicking and screaming if need be to the world of blogging. She's only gone and gotten herself an iPhone!!!!! Means between us in Scotland and Kent we can get the site bang up to date on a daily basis if needed.

2011-10-15T13:25:00.005+01:00

Evening all. Just to let you know, the 3rd of September has been cancelled at the Alexandra Hotel in Fort William.

Iain

2011-10-15T13:25:00.001+01:00

Afternoon all. Lovely and sunny down here in Kent for once :D

I've been sent all of Paulas venues up till the end of October this year so you'll find them on the top right as normal.

We've gone mobile!!!

You can no access this site via your mobile web browser to see a specially formatted version of this lot. Venues can be seen by clicking the dropdown menu where it says "home". This should make it easier to keep up to date with happenings and gig news.

I'm off to Scotland for a holiday in October so that gives me a week to teach Paula how to blog on here :-\ Now that somebody FINALLY got an iPhone. Wish me luck!

I'll be closing the old site soon as I can get my Mac up and running. It's done me well over the years but has had it's day. I will also be setting up a photo storage space soon too so we can have photos within the blog and on a gallery.

2011-10-15T13:24:00.003+01:00

Hello one and all.

First things first, many congrats to my cousin Hannah and her hubby Scotty boy on the birth of their son wee Scott and to Paula and Aidan for officially becoming old :-p

I will be moving the site fully to blogger next week as I have a week off from work so can spend some time on it. When you type www.paulamacaskill.co.uk it will bring you to this site instead of the old one. Apple iWeb has done us good for the last gawd knows how many years but it's time for a change again.
I like blogger as it's more personal and can be updated either by Paula herself up in that there Scottishland or by me on my phone or iPad down south.

Quick update on my computer :-\ The power supply was fixed and then it failed again so looks like I will be moving to site over to blogger at the end of the month. I can't afford £75 for a new power supply.

Blogger looks more up to date and I can do updates from my phone if I need to and Paula will have direct access to here herself. With it being a blog it's more personal too.

Thanks for yours continued support

Iain

2011-10-15T13:23:00.000+01:00

Hi everyone.

Slight change in the site at the moment. Sadly my computer that I use to create the normal site has broke. Power supply has failed and trying to find one for a 12 year old Apple Mac is proving expensive.

For now, I will be using Blogger for keeping you up to date with happenings in the world of Paula.

At the top right of this page I've added 4 months worth of venues to keep you all going and there will be pretty much nothing else going on with this page unless there is something urgent that needs to be posted.

Will be back on the normal site as soon as I can though.

Thanks for your continual support over the many years the site has been running.

Iain
