January 12th, 2006 at 7:12 pm » Comments (11)

Is it National Delurking Week? Feel free to delurk and comment. Or just comment even if you haven’t been lurking! I’m starting to get close to 2000 comments on this blog, and I thought that I’d give something away to the 2000th commenter. I’m not sure what the prize will be. It might be graphic [...]

New Look

OK, I had a feeling when I put up that kiwi theme it wouldn’t be around for more than 24 hours. Thanks to everyone who commented. I liked the modular look of the kiwi theme, and the authors were doing some interesting things with plugins to control some of the modules on the page, but [...]



Upgrading

I just upgaded to wordpress 2.0. It looks pretty nifty so far. I was going to hold off for a little while, but I got an invitation to test measuremap. I figured if I was going to be messing with templates to configure my blog for the statistics tracking, I might as well upgrade beforehand. [...]

structured blogging

Hmm, I’m not sure why the plug-in posted my mini-review to the blog as if it was an excerpt. Also in my rss feed, the corpse bride post was repeated twice. I’m not sure if I need to change some settings, but the formatting needs to be tweaked. I commented out the huge media format [...]



ratings stars

I’m going to start adding little ratings stars to the posts about what I’ve been reading. I’ve been toying with the idea for some time, so I made some tiny icons using fireworks and the asterisk in the comic sans font. I was thinking about installing a ratings plugin for WordPress, but one that I [...]

comics blog blogaround

Tegan invented a meme where we visit 10 blogs listed on Comics Weblog Update and blog about them. I’ve wondered about listing myself on that site, I think I don’t blog about comics often enough to qualify as a true comics blogger.
The Comic Asylum - Front page lists a combination of posts about comics [...]
