Now that I have got Postie working for e-mail postings, and my theme widget-ready thanks to King Text, I am focusing my full attention on tagging with Ultimate Tag Warrior. I’ve already eliminated categories from my theme, replacing them with tags. Folksonomy is really moving forward in the direction of tags, rather than categories. I’ve [...]

Subdomain Change
Just a quickie post here. After years of hosting journal.amanita.net at /home/me/amanita.net/journal I have switched it to /home/me/journal.amanita.net. If anything looks broken, please let me know, as there are surely hard-coded absolute paths somewhere that I’ve forgotten about.
It’s Done For Real
I did it! I really did it. I made my ultimate blog design. It’s three columns, it has spiffy shapes for content blocks, it’s readable, it has a header I can change seasonally (or whatever), it’s easy to update, and in general it is snazzy. It’s the same as it was before except for now [...]
Pretty Proud of Myself
I did it! I redesigned my website. I got rid of the skins and everything. I pulled a design from OWD.org and ported it to WordPress. It took a lot of tweaking to get everything the way I wanted it; instead of one big content box I wante one box per post, and I wanted [...]
Radical Design Change

I want standards compliance, 508 compliance, WordPress compatibility, a personal touch, shiny-ness, colors I like, ease of maintenance and plugin integration, etc. I’ve got a list of custom blog designers but I [...]
Journal Designs

I switched from S1 to S2 on LiveJournal, which means my readers there will be seeing the change immediately because now individual entry pages also match the main design. (Previously, with S1, the individual entry pages were the LiveJournal default look rather than customized.) I did [...]
Bullet Update
Today I am down to 161 pounds. I started 2006 at 187.5 pounds. That’s progress, but I still have a while to go. I now know three people who have the Sidekick 3. I am not one of them, and I only ever see one in person but he doesn’t usually have his with him [...]
Bloggish
I noticed that eudyptes‘s journal was looking rather spiffy, so I asked him about it. It turns out he’s using Bloggish, a new-ish layout for users of LiveJournal’s S2 system. (I consider anything since Refried Paper to be “new,” though.) So I went to check out Bloggish for myself. It turns out it’s based on [...]
