Firstly that’s the blog updated with the latest version of WordPress. After this I had noticed that the pages were taking a little while to load mostly due to the large amount of PHP scripts running in the background, I think began looking at a way to solve these problems, it turns out most of these outputs were not changing from hour to hour hence the PHP scripts did not have to be run every hour.
I began looking at caching pages, this seemed OK but didn’t want to cache the pages for too long as they would not show up comments and new posts until the cache had been re-built, however after searching I found the handy little plugin WP-Cache, this is now installed and setup, the main blog and all the PHP stuff is cached for an hour then renewed whenever someone visits again, I may increase this time as the blog ain’t that busy. However we will see how it goes with an hour and how many times it expires without visits and make changes over the next few days, if you notice anything weird going on even if you think it’s not related, leave a comment or use the contact me form and hopefully I will be able to get it fixed. 
In a bid to make the blog more search engine friendly I have also installed the All In One SEO pack, I have used this before but never managed to get it working the way I wanted, however this time everything seems well and it has made some subtle changes to the blog, hopefully this works and I make my way up Google!
