Good Morning everyone! Today I’ve made a signifigant change to the theme of the blog. I did this for a few reasons, all of which have to do with improving the user experience.
I’ll issue another more complete post later, but in the meantime I’m in the process of de-bugging this theme, so if you run across any issues please drop me a comment here and let me know so I can resolve them quickly.
Also, if you have any suggestions for changes or improvements please make them.
I use the "No Adverts for Friends" plugin by Donncha O Caoimh
Looks good! Like it a lot better.
Site looks great. I really think it is easier to read.
One think I find kind of annoying, is your rss feed doesn’t show the whole story. I know you did this so people like myself would come to the site. I still find it annoying. But great blog.
Jim,
Thanks.
With regard to the RSS feed, the main reason that I don’t advertise the full feed is that I’ve noticed that a lot of my posts break in RSS. For example, when I post videos or audio files, etc. The secondary reason is that I often post very long articles, and I always have a hard time reading those in my RSS reader or e-mail feeds.
It’s a difficult situation because I think it comes down to personal preference and unfortunatly RSS isn’t flexible enough to allow both a full feed and a partial feed. I’ll give it another look though and see if I can come up with something. I honestly don’t care if people read my content on the site or in their other preferred software. I’m just thrilled that so many people pay attention at all.
Take care,
John
Big thumbs up from me - loving the whitespace.
Nice job. Looks much cleaner.
Cheers,
