Hooray For Comments April 25th, 2009

I’ve made several additions to this site, the most significant of which are commenting. Now anyone can comment on the blog portion. I’ve also changed the right sidebar when looking at the blog so that you can navigate by topic or even search the blog for particular keywords.

I cleaned up a lot of my code to minimize redundancy. This means the blog now uses my site’s regular CSS styles instead of having its own folder with the same files modified slightly. It’s just going to be a huge time saver since I only need to modify one stylesheet to get both the blog and the rest of the site up to date. I’ve also made minor style modifications, although I still haven’t touched the header. It’s pretty bad, and I want to change it, and add a pic to it.

Other things I still want to do (in no particular order):

  • Fix the header (image, color, etc.)
  • Find a use for the right sidebar
  • Set up the RSS feed
  • Make the site RESTful
  • Add college projects to the projects page

I’ll try to get some opinions about the header as I’m pretty terrible at graphics design. I’ll probably tackle the RSS feed and adding useful content to the right sidebar first, but we’ll see.
