Various and sundry changes abound.
1. The Rabbit Classic style is pretty much where it's going to be, bar an improved title graphic. I've made it about as readable as I can make it with this current setup without making it look horrific.
2. However, this is not to say that it won't change some more shortly. We're currently kicking around several ideas, among which are:
- Moving to Wordpress, which maybe has dropdowns and things.
- Moving to MT 3, which may or may not have anything at all but at least isn't dead.
- Creating a new archives page where a single link gets you to a page with all category/monthly links AND displays posts. If this method also sliced bread, we'd probably be there already.
3. All of the quotes now exist as posts, which means the old quotes page is gone, and you should all use the quotes archive category instead. Also, I've added all former blog quotes I could find at archive.org, which I unfortunately know is not all of them. Alas I have not kept better records. What this does mean for you in the future, however, is that every time I put a quote up top, it's going to archive.
4. There are various link changes. A couple of things got dropped, and some got added, including Suzanne's LJ, and Laurent's blog, both of which are highly overdue for linkage. Sorry y'all. In the future, should you all start blogs, I encourage you to tell me to link you, because I more than probably will. When left to my own devices, I am lazy.
5. The next large project is probably going to be post categorization. This is a large project, but should be well worth it. Right now there are two categories - Quotes, which has all the top quotes, and Main, which has all the actual content posts. What I'm going to do is add a number of subcategories to Main, including:
- Photography (for all my photoblogging)
- Trips (for all the Europe, etc trip blogs)
- Artwork (solely to showcase Suzanne's things, though I may combine this with photography)
- Marechalisms (just what it says, plus will replace the old .doc file and everything therein will be made a post)
- Humor (if somebody said it and it was funny)
- School (For all OSU/SCSU posts)
- Work (CC wai~)
- ROTD (For all the old ROTD posts)
- MUD (For all MUD stuff)
- Tonto (Not sure how much Tonto stuff there is, but)
Am unsure whether I want seperate D&D/BT/MWDA/Computer Gaming categories, or not.
Am also unsure if a generic Conversations category is appropriate.
Also some things (computer construction, deck blogging) that I'm not sure how to categorize.
Now, to you my readers, I ask if there are any categories you would like to see. I dig around a fair bit in my archives, but I know some of the rest of you do too, and are likely to have opinions. So state them by all means.
