Tinkering

by La Shawn on July 5, 2005

in Me, Me, Me

This weekend I added/deleted/rearranged a few things on the site. Updated pages (you guys are great proofreaders):

I added a site navigation section to the left sidebar to include comment and e-mail policies. Very important for new readers. I’m also working on a “favorite posts” page that will provide links to 20 or so posts arranged by topic. I’ve covered a wide variety of topics more than once, and I don’t like to reinvent the microchip every time someone finds my site through a Google search and/or asks my opinion on an issue I’ve blogged ad nauseam.

The archives go back to November 2003, but new readers (and some long-time readers) don’t have the time or interest to read old posts or at least do a search to find out if I’ve blogged about an issue before. Having to repeat myself is a pet peeve.

So don’t make me repeat myself. It’s a pet peeve.

La Shawn:

I have Macromedia Dreamweaver for managing my web site, but, to tell you the truth, I am having an “enthusiasm lapse” – I have so many othr interests I don’t spend the time I need. Perhaps I need my own blog.

I didn’t know you had a web site. Can I see it? You can e-mail the link if it’s not public.

I hear that, brother. Between school, work, family and social life, my blog is suffering.
LB,
Good move, putting the links in a position of prominence.
Maybe adding a line about the archive and favorite posts above the comment box, near the formatting remarks?

I can’t wait for your favorite posts section.

SCSIwuzzy, why not have a guest blogger once a week or so to help lighten your load?

I’m sorry LB, come again?
