Added "Popular Posts" Widget…

As per the title, which in theory should pretty much be all that is needed for this post (but I like to ramble on a bit…), I just added a widget down the right hand side that lists the most popular posts by number of page views. If Google Analytics is to be believed then it is safe to assume that for the rest of eternity the list is pretty much going to comprise all the David Thorne emails (4 so far) and the pictures of Miss Great Britain, Sophie Gradon (here and here – you’re welcome).

And yes, I realise it looks rather shite as it is in a completely different style to virtually everything else on this site, but hey, I missed my computer programming classes in college due to a penchant for sneaky smoke breaks. Oh, and the minor fact that I didn’t take it as a subject. So I won’t be making it match the other widgets, which would naturally and instantly result in me winning the “prettiest blog in the whole wide world ever, even beating the ones that comprise nothing but kittens and rainbows and a few more kittens for good measure” contests.

There are lots of articles on the net about customising these widgets, but unfortunately as soon as I hear the words “CSS Style Sheets” I tend to automatically lose focus (and interest) and go look in the fridge for a cold beer – must be some form of ingrained evolutionary trait to avoid becoming a LAN gamer, thereby making my right to have a girlfriend null and void.

And for some reason I seem to have been under the mistaken impression that you give a damn about each and every new widget I test out on this blog and wanna know all about it. My bad.

UPDATE – The very next day…
Okay okay, it really is rather ugly, isn’t it? But to make it match I need to upload a custom CSS Style Sheet (there’s that word again… oh look, a cold Budweiser. Awesome).

Anyone know of a decent free (coz I’m a bit of a cheapskate) hosting site that wants to hang onto the style sheet for me?
