It’s raining at Lord’s so what better way to fill some time than look at my previous examples of Photoshop wizardry*.

That should keep you busy for…ooohh…minutes. Maybe the covers will be off in a minute.
* - I’d previously referred to them as crap Photoshopped efforts but Will over at The Corridor came up with an altogether more pleasing name for them. I’ll let you decide 
** - Not actually mine but I thought I’d add it to the mix
*** - Not really a Photoshop job but still something that makes me chuckle

Looking at my stats, is seems like a lot of people are coming to visit Flintoffs Ashes via Digg. I’ve no idea what you’re looking for but you won’t find any HD DVD encryption keys here, I’m afraid*. What you will find, though, is stuff about the noble game of cricket. Oh and some other stuff too.
Since you’re here, you might as well look at some of the more popular posts** on Flintoffs Ashes.

** - When I say popular I mean stuff that my stats program tells me lots of people have read. It doesn’t mean it’s any good or anything.

Since the World Cup is about to start I thought it was time to give Flintoff’s Ashes something of a makeover so here we are!
The code that sits behind the scenes is a lot cleaner than the old site so, in theory, it should load up a lot quicker. I’ve also tried to make it easier for you to subscribe to the RSS feeds as well as making the commenting a little easier. If you’ve got one of those funny little Gravatar thingies it’ll show up now too!
Well, assuming that the Gravatar site is working, of course 
There are a couple of little things that need ironing out in terms of the formatting (i.e. the links to the 2005 Ashes series don’t seem to be in Test order any more) and a couple of the pages don’t look quite right so I’ll re-edit those but I’ve tested it in both Firefox and Internet Explorer and it all looks to be OK but if you find anything odd as you’re mooching around, please let me know.
It’s a year to the day since I updated the old Flintoff’s Ashes website. Nursing a monstrous hangover after spending several hours in The Beehive next to The Oval, I managed to post some of the comments made by fellow drinkers in the pub after England’s victory in the 2005 Ashes series. I promised to write a match report on the Oval game within a couple of days and…ermm…didn’t 
About a month later after the Ashes hangover had subsided, I started to write a match report but my heart wasn’t in it. Part of the fun of the old site was updating it each day with the latest drama and somehow it just didn’t feel right so the old site gathered dust for best part of a year.
Last month I decided to take the site down and put a For Sale sign up. However watching the recent series against Pakistan made me think seriously about putting the site back up again. After all, the next Ashes series starts in November. Freddie and the boys would be going back into action against Old Man McGrath and the Pie Eater again.
So here we are again! This time on a nice, new, shiny WordPress website which will allow not only me to update it daily but also other readers of the site. The new Flintoff’s Ashes website is more interactive and will hopefully provide some entertainment over the course of the winter as we take on the Old Enemy once more.
I’ll be tinkering with the site over the next week or two. I’ll be porting over the old Flintoff’s Ashes pages. Adding a few more features. Making it feel a bit more like home. If anyone wants to be a part of the site and write a few posts, feel free to drop me a line through the Contact page.
Spread the news, folks. Flintoff’s Ashes is back from the…ermm…Ashes!
