Mes projets du jour…

Cleaning up my blog templates directory - I moved all of the dead links (hand-checked, thank you) out of the main section. But because I can’t bring myself to delete them forever, they’re now in a separate category.

Trying to integrate said directory - I really would like to get the directory integrated into the rest of my site, and maintain it as a useful resource for others. I’m currently investigating possible solutions; Links 2.0 is nice but I’d like to switch to something based in MySQL and PHP. There are plenty of options (though Fantastico only offers phpLinks), it’s just a matter of deciding which one.

Working with Suzanne on her blog - I love helping friends with MT! She’s also looking for a new design, so I got to comb through all those precious template sites and look at everything. I sent her a few ideas, we’ll see what happens!

Surfing BlogExplosion - Yes, I signed up for BlogExplosion! My buddy Aldon said it’s an awesome time sink, and I am already having a lot of fun with it. I especially like that you don’t have to install any actual code on your site to participate. I currently have my main site listed there, but I would really like to get CyDy Blog listed, because it is desperate for traffic. They have a rule about no sexually explicit content, though, and CyDy Blog is kind of borderline, so we’ll see.

Redo my blogroll - I’ve been using Blogrolling since its inception, but they keep taking away features. Now it’s basically crippleware, and at $20/year I am not paying for it. Jade’s MySQLinks looks like a great alternative, though, so I’m going to get that implemented ASAP.
