The New Look is Complete

I’m sure many of you have taken a peek at the blog over the last 24 hours or so and seen some different things appearing. I’ve moved ahead with a complete overall of the site. As I’ve discussed previously, with the new professional position, it was time to retire the name, and I’ve decided to make the site more personal than professional. Not that I won’t still be blogging about all the same things I’ve been blogging about, but I wanted Mike McBride Online to be about more than that. I wanted it to be about me.

Hence, the name change to The Many Faces of Mike. Thanks to my wife, I’ve got a new logo to go along with the name, and the home page of the site offers links to the different “faces”,  the Blogger, which comes here, the Techie, the Litigation Support Specialist, the Photographer and the Child Abuse Survivor.

Right now, obviously, the Child Abuse Survivor link goes to that existing site, and will continue to do that. The three other links go to pages that contain the latest blog posts with that tag, the latest link blog entries with that tag, and in the case of Photography, a handful of the latest Flickr uploads. Each of those are generated using Feedburner feeds, so you can, instead of subscribing to get everything here, limit your intake to just those categories. As I’ve said before, I don’t think folks currently subscribed are going to change much, but new folks might only be interested in one area or another, so that should help them out.

Over time, I hope to build more content for each of the areas, and include more relevant links and other side bar information to each category.

I’ve also decided to remove some sections of the site. Simply put, the articles and other pages were old, and had completely outdated information on them. There simply wasn’t enough worth salvaging.

Let me know what you think, and remember, if you don’t like the look, or don’t like the white text on black background, just subscribe in an RSS reader and get the same content in whatever form you like. 😉

Just don’t say I haven’t given you options…

    I setup a Flickr account, not so much because I’m going to change how I display my traveling photos, but because I needed someplace to store pictures that go along with my posts to the 2guys2cities blog. My question is, when I use Flickr to post to a blog, is there any way to save…

    Back to a Clean Look for the Site

    One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about starting up news blogs to talk about sports and highlight my photography, has been going back to some very clean, default WordPress themes, and the customizing them from there. The more I thought about it, in fact, the more I thought it was about time to do…

  • Comments spam

    I guess the new addition of the TableEditor turned out to be a double-edged sword last night. Yes, someone did leave a comment that was nothing more than “come visit my blog” with a link, and yes I did delete it. Unfortunately, I also left a comment by Anita that referred to said spam comment,…

    Hummingbird Moth, a photo by mikemac29 on Flickr. Took the Nikon D3000 out for it’s first adventure to Furman this evening. Liked what I saw from the first batch of photos, going to be uploading them to Flickr over the next few days, I’m sure. This one was especially cool, just because it’s always fun…

    Reading Ben Hammersley led me to the just released NewsMonster which is yet another news aggregator! I might have to give this one a try. It works with Mozilla and uses Java, so it will work in any OS, and it claims to render most major news sites, even if they don’t have an RSS…
