so since its the weekend (and no one visits this site on the weekends) i decided to do some blog housekeeping. here’s a few of the changes/modifications i’ve made to your favorite blog on the entire internet:
- Added the “Web Two-Point-Ohhhh” section to the top of the sidebar to conveniently list all of my profiles from across the world-wide-internet. Quick links to twitter, facebook, flickr, etc are all nicely organized for your perusing.
- Integrated the Disqus blog commenting system which has all sorts of bells & whistles that should making posting comments and keeping track of the compelling conversations that follow a d-r-e-a-m.
- Video Comments!!!! One of the perks of disqus is that they are partners with seesmic and allow for YOU (yes you!) to leave a video comment on any blog post! Simply click on the comments link of any post, click on “Record a Video Comment” and BAM the seesmic software pulls up your webcam and lets you easily record your thoughts of love and admiration for ME.
- Upgraded to Wordpress 2.5.1 and read up on how to cleverly integrate photos into the blog. Using the built-in Gallery in WP2.5+ and nick stakenburg’s incredible Lightview javascript library, I’ve got an easy to implement and dead-sexy gallery system in place.You can see this post for a demo.
- Went through and cleaned out all the stray files and unnecessary uploads from my FTP server & backed up my entire server. Organization is a good thing.
- Installed the WP-Cache2 plugin to speed up loading of the blog b/c you guys have more important things to do than wait around for my blog to load.
- Installed the Wordpress Backup plugin and scheduled daily/weekly backups of all of my content b/c like sand through the hourglass, these are the blogs of my life.
As my lack of a social-life permits, I want to download all of my Flickr sets to individual WP Gallery posts and whip up a gallery page so that all my little snowflakes are never more than a few clicks away from all that is ME.
