The new design for Elitistreview has been live for a few weeks; I hope my regular readers have got over the shock of change and are finding it an improvement. Whether you do or not, I’d like to ask anyone who has a view to let me know what it is…

Elitistreview is five years old today, hooray! Five years of opinion, rants and general lunacy. There have been some difficult times, very difficult times, but one hell of a lot of hilarious larks and screamingly laugh-tastic benders…

As you can see, Elitistreview has had an over-haul. The aim has been to help you, my dear readers, navigate the site and find posts of interest more easily whilst minimising the vast swathes of stark text my old sites suffered from.
Many people have asked for my three blogs to be accessible in one location and that is now how the site is organised…

Today two unconnected people suggested that I should be using Twitter, and it has been mentioned by many people in the past. So I have followed their advice and signed up; I must now only be a couple of years behind the curve. My Twitter address is http://twitter.com/elitistreview .

My old photoblog at whatinterests.davidstrange.net was all very nice, but sub-optimal in many ways. Also, the webcam software for my phone stopped working after a ROM upgrade…
Rising up to replace that site is the Elitist Review Photoblog hosted by that kind chap Mr Flickr. I can upload pictures from my phone, tag them and so on…

After having Google click-through adverts on my site for almost exactly two years I have finally earned enough from them to get paid. Wehay! This means my monthly income from writing Elitist Review is a staggering £2.51. I cannot quite paint the town red with that amount…
