My site has a new look, in keeping with the fact I’m actually giving out my URL when I publish stories. More changes are to come, but I can finally unveil the (mostly-ripped-off) look. Now, time to get away from my computer for a bit.
Things to do:
- add workout tracker postings to footer
- filter several post categories from the “main” blog page
- add a “front page” with a slightly different template — something slightly less bloggy
- for that matter, edit the non-blog page template to be a little less bloggy in the same way
- do up a few more images for the header — I think 5 or 6 b&w images in rotation will do for now
- fiddle with the footer (a pure background color for the whole block would be nice so I don’t have to size-limit it) and eliminate the purple stripe
- add “Recent Comments” under the “Recent Posts” in the footer
- have the “Recent Posts” section leave up what’s already in the posts section
- edit the defaults for the progressbar plugin
- try moving the Workout Tracker, Delicious linklog, and “Short, Maybe Not Sweet” section back to the main page.
- do up an “Other Publications” category for non-fiction and poetry I’ve published, and exclude it from the main blog posting area
- experiment with expanding the librarything “Newest Books” section
- set up a proper archives page to allow access to the archives without an ugly list of links and categories
- rework the categories; consider switching to tagging posts
- add (and resize) the links in the left sidebar
- test in Windows Explorer
- verify the HTML is standards compliant
