I’ve been making a bit of an effort in recent entries to start adding a related image to my posts. Obviously my redesign is a way off, but I’ve found that they do serve to brighten the place up a bit. It’s also helping to alleviate some of my ‘colour block’ I spoke of recently.

The choices of images aren’t hugely inspired – although Neil Buchanan appears as a small nod to my childhood and a reminder that Art Attack was the single good television program on cITV.

Aside: Markup wankers will note that the images are inserted a tad strange: They’re referenced by a full URI rather than just the relative path, and the <img /> includes the long deprecated ‘align’ attribute. Basically, it’s a combination of working around a strange bug in b2Evolution’s post validation and being too lazy to alter my soon-to-be-replaced stylesheet. I’ll convert the latter it to a proper, semantic class when I migrate to Wordpress, I promise.
