Minor site updates

Even though we’ve officially launched, I’m still tweaking around the look of this blog. Do expect this sort of thing to continue for, like, ever :-)

Anyway here’s what I’ve done to save you going crazy looking for differences:

  • I’ve set up with Feedburner and edited the theme to point at my Feedburner feeds accordingly. I’ve done three Feedburner feeds, one for the blog, one for comments and the other for my Friendfeed. You can access them all via your browser’s feed auto-discovery system. I’ve also linked the Feedburner feed of the blog into the big Subscribe link in the top right of this theme.
  • I’ve expanded the set of Web2.0 icon links in that sidebar widget over there, top-right. I’ve now split them up into named categories, and I’ve also added a couple of badges underneath.
  • Speaking of badges in the top widget. The contact me page has gone. The contact page was merely displaying my Retaggr card, so I’ve now put an image link which you can click to display said card. It seemed a worthwhile trade, a static page for a sidebar badge. Let me know if you think it’s cluttered.
  • The “About” page has been renamed to “About David”, for obvious reasons.
  • I’ve also suspended the “miniBlog” page, which displayed the entries of my Friendfeed. I haven’t deleted it, merely marked it as “pending review”. I wasn’t sure if the page was too unweidly to make sense of. I also reasoned that if someone knew enough about current web services to know what a Friendfeed was, then they could just click the icon in my sidebar and go directly to my Friendfeed page, rather than seeing a much rougher Javascript rendered version on my site.

So all in all, I’m two static pages down, and just up a little by some sidebar clutter :-)

Feedback is welcomed, as ever.
