It’s a WordPress-ism … a proposed standard that never took off, or something.

Temporary fix implemented, with a permanent one forthcoming! (Maybe.)

I’ve just come back to your blog because I’ve been forgetting to get my dose of issues and politics and stuff. Also because my other computer died with all my RSS feeds.

Anyway, when I came back it seems your link to your RSS feeds at that bottom of your main page are a bit wrong – they’re coming up as feed://http//hourann.com/feed or something like that. Reckon you could fix that up?

Hrm, you’re right. I think I’ll slap on some Google ads so it stops being unpaid!

Fair point about the ACT — it is famous for its tight rental market and the census confirms it’s the most expensive. I’m not sure that invalidates the comparison though, since in turn Sydney has a much wider range of rental options than Perth.

I confess to not having dug into the housing data deeply enough to make a more accurate assessment …

Oh come on, everyone can see past your thinly veiled plea for sympathy but I’ve got some news for you… Blogging doesn’t count as “unpaid domestic work”

Also, surely the median rent in Perth has risen from $170 p/w since the census. And I don’t know about Queensland but can you really compare the Canberra rental market with Perth’s? I don’t think there is quite the ‘range’ of rental accommodation in Canberra as here (ie significant amount of fairly high earning public servants and considerably fewer bogan tenants) .
