Anyways, I decided time to do more stuff and to learn some more programming and cool web stuff. I thought to myself how best to motivate myself and stumbled upon this article in Life Hacker. The brilliance is in its simplicity! Keep a diary and every time you do the regular thing enough, cross it off. Sort of reminds me of Brain Training. The aim is that you keep a chain of regularity and aim to ultimately to keep it going for as long as possible without breaking it.

So here it is, the badly fitting table on the right hand side. Lets see if I actually keep it up!

I had another go through google and found this post with a comment that unraveled the secret to editing the left navigation bar! Basically you put into any page:


[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]]

THATS IT!!!!! All this pain trying to go through files and it was in a wiki tag. Sigh.
And as soon as you click on it, it displays the properties of the left bar to edit to your hearts content!
