I have finally gotten my wordpress blog, associated with my PhD topic, up and online.
You can hear the first washing-up recording if you are so inclined!
The URL is as follows:
http://littlesongbox.co.uk/wordpress/
The littlesongbox site is hopelessly out of date and I think I have already messed up the css file for the blog, but these details cannot be allowed to halt the development of my work. I have decided therefore to plough ahead with incomplete coding and an unfinished website in the belief that this is better than procrastinating further with my PhD studies.
