Hello and welcome to you my fellow bloggies,
Hi there bloggies! Here we and the Planet Simon blog orbit completes another trip around the blogoshpere.What’s new this week – well it’s mixed. In terms of what went up on my blog – not a lot, I posted some space stuff on Friday just because but apart from that not much.
But I am trying to get used to the new post editor from WordPress. In a word – weird. It’s different from the last one as it seems to focus on using blocks. I’m still getting used to it but I get it, basically the way it works is each part of a post is a block you add to it, either text a picture or whatever.
The clever thing is that when you set up reusable blocks you can edit them and when they do anywhere you’ve used them automatically updates. That’s what I know so far but I am annoyed a bit as there’s no copy post option and wheres the word counter?!?. Anyone else using it? What do you think?
In terms of what’s going on this week well I’m making no promises but I’m hoping to get a couple of new posts out this week at least. If you’re lucky you might get my thoughts on the new Star Trek Discovery after i’ve finally finished watching season 1.
I’m also in the middle of more work on my examination of concepts in science fiction – dissecting some of the simple concepts I’ve noticed and putting in my thoughts on the alternatives.
Then there’s a bit more to say on digital art and some more fun ways to use Gimp.
Also to note for the future my Solar System Exploration series has only paused for now, I’m working on something pretty cool which I’m hoping I can share with you all soon and add more to this and get to the core of what we’ve been doing out there.
Along with all this I’ve been thinking about the Planet Simon blog and branding thing, I’ve had some good ideas from some people and I have to go away and research all of this, create designs and all that good stuff. So watch this space.
I’m also wondering about putting more of the more random aspects of the blog that some have come to love and have been lost, more of the personal things that I’ve been trying to field into the other blog. It’s a strange thing to be coming round full circle. As I said earlier in the year I have no idea what to do – I still don’t. Can someone help me I think I’m ill!
Anyways, keep well bloggies and see you about – keep smiling and writing!
A Lens to the Sky
I love skylines, so often a lens doesn’t do them justice but sometimes a wide lens and a moody sky can make a beautiful picture. I wish I could mount some of these at times…Enjoy the views!

Thinking about it makes it Hurt – The Tax System
I’m sorry, it’s me – I can’t help it. I’ve tried to keep the insanity from the door of this corner of the web but I can’t do it any longer. The world in which we live is wonderful, beautiful and terrible thing and yet there’s few – well quite a lot of people actually…

A Flavour of Spring
I can’t talk obviously about the rest of the world, but here in the UK Spring has been a bit of a washout but there have been a few times where the Sun and been able to shine onto the beauty of the Spring and I’ve been able to capture a flavour of it.I hope…

Simon's Space 
Hi Simon, just like SpiritualJourney17 I haven’t used the new editor either. But I’ve been reading some of the blogs I follow and a lot of peeps are having issues. I’m not looking forward to it but I think that we’re doomed to have to use it sooner or later. Ugh the blogmanity…..

I tried the new editor and wasn’t happy with it so I immediately went back to the original version. 😉

I can imagine, I have to say it’s harder to get your head around but it has benefits and I’m getting used to it.

Great post! I haven’t used the new editor, frankly I am concerned we will soon have no choice but to use it and that may send me on my way 🙂
