Monday and today I've been working on a new system to run my blog. It currently has no name and is based on some of the ideas of Channel Z.#

Important: I have made a strong effort to make sure old links are still correct. If you find one that doesn't work, PLEASE let me know.

Things to notice:

  • There is a breadcrumb trail below the title. With this you can get to other parts of the hierarchy.
  • There are 3 permalinks for every entry:
    1. The title
    2. The "Hour:Minute" on the "Posted" display
    3. The ∞ symbol beneath it
  • The permalinks goto a single page for each entry, rather than the date's page.
  • The main page only has the entries from the last day I posted. (I may change to last 2 or 3.)
  • There is now an RSS 2.0 feed as well as an RSS 0.91 feed. The 2.0 is recommended. Look to your right.
  • There is a directory listing of all categories... Look to your right.
  • Category pages have the last 50 entries of a given category and then links to the rest.
  • Many categories have been renamed or moved.
  • My name is now a link to my email address, rather than being separate.
  • The blogroll is no longer on every page, but rather just on a special "Blogroll" page.

Things I'm working on:

  • Categorizing the blogroll.
  • Making a calendar like many blogs have.
  • Making "Previous" & "Next" links to navigate by date.
  • Support multiple categories (this is really easy.)
  • Figure out a better way to overflow category pages.
  • Your idea!
