Template changes

I spent part of last night making some template renovations around here, if you actually come to the site to read this, you’ve probably noticed them already. First thing, I took out the blogrolls, except for the list of people I’m actually related to, and replaced them with a link to my subscriptions on Bloglines, called my reading list. The reasoning behind this was simple, I had a few dozen links on my blogrolls, I have 175 feeds that I’m currently subscribed to. I’m not going to try and list all 175 feeds along the side panel. Besides, I’m not doing a very good job of keeping up with the blogrolls anyway, so why not just point you to everyone I’m reading?

The other change is that on top of links to my other blogs, I’ve also included the last 10 post’s RSS headlines for both of those blogs, directly over on the side of this blog. So, instead of having to always check the link blog for possibly interesting stories, you can see the headlines of the last ten things I linked right on this page. The same holds true for the child abuse blog as well. Both of these feeds within a page were easy to do using a tool that I found on ResearchBuzz called RSS Digest.

Now, I the next thing I can see is that I need to be conscious about writing better post titles for those blogs… 🙂

    I downloaded the new beta for what they are now calling Windows Defender the other night. (Formally known as Microsoft Anti-Spyware) It’s definitely a clean interface, and it seems to run a bit quicker. A “quick-scan” of my laptop system only took 3 minutes. That seems faster than I remember most products quick scans taking….

    It seems to be catching up to the new location, which is where this post is being published. However, my work connection is still resolving to the old one, so I probably won’t have much to say until everyone is on the same page, so to speak. Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    Turns out we had no internet connection the entire time we were in Gatlinburg. Sorry for the lack of updates, but I’ll be sure to get up to speed quickly, I hope. We had a great time, and got some really beautiful pictures from our hike in the Smoky Mountains on Sunday. They will be…

    Ever hear one of those really high pitched grinding noises? You know the kind that just screams “Metal rubbing against metal” and makes you want to run as far away as possible so the noise will stop making your brain vibrate? It’s really not good when a printer makes that sound, is it? Of course…

    Microsoft Releases Windows Server 2003 To Manufacturing. Hmm, I think I’ll have to keep an eye on how this works out for early adopters, if I can find any. 🙂 If nothing else, it would be nice to grab a demo copy of this and see how it works for myself. I’ll have to settle…
