Lots of Changes

May 5, 2008 -

Over the past month, I've been working on many small changes to this site. Firstly, I've installed the newest version of Gallery, since the older version broke. It remains the only portion of this site that I haven't coded myself in Notepad. I may do some slight tweaking to the Gallery theme at some point, but overall I'm pretty happy with it.

I also added my Google Reader shared items to my list of RSS feeds on this page, in case anyone wants to follow the things I find relevant in my RSS feeds. To this end, I've removed my news sidebar. I certainly have plenty of other sidebar items. And I'm thinking about adding a twitter sidebar.

I've also rewritten my homebrew wishlist page. Now, instead of always having Amazon, EBay, and BestWebBuys links which may or may not work, I can dynamically create up to three links for each item at any site I want. I've stripped out about half the items on my wishlist too. Yeah, I know, nobody ever looks at it, but I can at least keep track of the cool stuff I like just for myself.

Lastly, I'm finishing up a new stylesheet, which will entirely change the look of this site. I may try to make a total of three styles before I make them live. We'll see. If you want to look at my unfinished stylesheet, click here. If you click there you'll get a cookie that will make that your permanent stylesheet, so if you want to go back to the normal style, click here. I'm open to feedback on the style, but keep in mind that I haven't yet fixed up all the pages on my site with the new style, so some may look lousy.

Hmm, I like your current style; it seems more warm.
