Sure, things like bold and italics do help, but they don't solve the underlying problem that people don't read. Which is a problem for people like me. It takes a good couple of hours to write a WPShout post so I'd like to think it's appreciated. Turns out I'm wrong; in this post we'll find out how.

Hi everyone, Alex here. It's been a while; two years, specifically, since I last wrote anything vaguely personal on WPShout, so I thought I'd give you a little update about me and how that's going to impact WPShout in the coming future. The good news is that it's all good news!

I've recently being developing a new design for my first ever WordPress powered site, Nometet.com. The design is looking a bit shabby at the moment, that's the kind way of putting it! I digress though. The new design is what I'd call advanced WordPress. It's got things like a background that is automatically resized (ie the background-image), a choice of three post templates, a fancy review section which holds the score and things like blockquotes that change depending on which category you're in.
