As you may or may not know, our esteemed admin/founding member/quiz master/Poker tournament organiser/CH book publisher/charity fundraiser and walker/law-talking.... guy & all round bloody decent bloke, Sandy... (pauses for much-needed lung refill!) ...has for some time now been running an excellent blog called 'Sandbach Chatter'. I can't recommend it highly enough for an entertaining read, so much so that I decided to embed it in its own custom page on here. So you can now visit the blog without leaving the comfort of your CH armchair, and have no excuses for not paying it a visit! It can be found under 'Other Stuff', and I promise you it will not disappoint. I know you will all enjoy it as much as I have!

Just to point out, and as ars has already (rightly) pointed out to me, the size of the text within the blog is a little on the large side. So I have asked Sandy if he can have a look into altering the text size on his blog to make it ever so slightly smaller, as that issue is beyond my control. He will have a look when he gets back from a family trip after the weekend.

Aw shucks. Cheers guys.
I don't recall setting the font size when I first set up the blog, so may not be able to change it without going for a different format, but will have a look when I'm back home/at work next week and when I won't be relying on my mobile (which presently has a battery life slightly shorter than an X-Factor winner's career) to satisfy my internettery needs.

I think you can do it, try this help page when you get home, matey: www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-change-the-font-size-in-wordpress/Also, I've just tidied up your custom banner, I didn't like the fading on the CH brick behind your pic.

Afternoon chaps
I haven't ignored the requests to change the font size of the blog, but it seems my options are limited.
With the current 'theme' I have on the site, the current font is as small as I can get it without it looking stupid.
I could switch to a different theme, but I'm either faced with the same problem, the layout looks terrible, or it's one of the 'premium' themes that cost a fair bit each year.
I am looking into a solution though, so bear with me.
Thanks

Yeah, I've worked out how to reduce the font and neaten it up a bit, but it's going to cost me £85 a year to apply it, so it'll have to stay as it is for now.
In other news, it now looks as though the 'follow' option now appears on tablets, even if not on some smart phones, so if you do read the blog and a little blue box appears at the bottom with a + sign and 'follow' next to it, please, please click it and fill out your e-mail address.
It takes two seconds, and you get an e-mail each time I post something. Even if you don't like what I write, please still add yourself to my list and then just delete the e-mails when they come through. I'd like to try and get as many followers as possible.
If I want to try and make a living out of writing (not that I suspect this blog will get me there), the more coverage I can get, the better.

No worries, Sandy, it's still excellent as it is! Looking forward to seeing your Bond top ten!

Afternoon everyone.
For those Heaveners who frequent Facebook (whisper it, in case Gazza's reading!), I have set up a Facebook page for the blog. Please, please 'like' it if you can, and spread the word amongst your friends.
Thanks

Yet another fantastic piece this week by Sandy. So get reading, everyone, it's an absolute classic! No I'm not blowing sunshine up his backside, this blog really is that good. Besides, he's a long streak of piss and I couldn't reach it even if I wanted to!
