Updating My Layout

Well, I actually have some time this morning, so I've updated the look of the blog a bit. I put in my little quote generator: it now appears below the blog description in the sidebar. I've missed it a bit since I made the blog my homepage: it's on the front of my main personal page and usually has something "pithy" to contribute ...

If anybody's interested in getting this little bit of PHP code, just drop me a note and I'll be happy to oblige. The quotes are in a separate file, so there's no reason to be restricted to my electic selections.

I'm debating whether or not to remove the links to Technorati... they seem to have gotten considerably less informative and useful since their site redesign: most of the links they list for any blog now are self-referential.

And I'm not removing the "Powered by Blogrolling" blogroll, either, although I've noticed that it no longer scans the web for updates as frequently as it used to do, nor does it seem to catch those blogs that don't ping weblogs.com. I may investigate a paid sub, though, if that works any better. It's a really useful little tool.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
