Blog and website changes
I’ve made a few changes to my blog and my personal web site and would welcome your feedback.
I added a widget on my blog sidebar to make it easy to subscribe. It seems to work well. Let me know if you have problems.
I added tags to my blog posts. The tag links should help people find more closely related articles if they’re interested.I’m still figuring out how I want to use tags and categories. For now, categories are high-level groupings and tags are more detailed. Also, posts generally fall into one category, maybe two, but often have multiple tags. I appreciate what Thomas Guest said on his blog about eliminating categories and just having tags, but I haven’t decided I want to do. I’ve thought about adding a tag cloud, but I don’t want the sidebar to be too cluttered. Maybe I’ll add a cloud and cut out the category list. I would appreciate your suggestions.
My personal website now has a sitemap for humans. I’ve had a sitemap for search engines but realized I needed to make it easier for humans to find things on the site as the number of pages has increased.
Update: I just looked at this site with Internet Explorer 6 for the first time. All the content that is supposed to be at the top of the right sidebar is at the bottom, and the main content is pushed off to the left. Has the site always looked bad under IE 6 or did a recent change cause this? Any suggestions how to fix it?
