Blog Refinements

February 20, 2007 @ 3:39 | In Personal | 2 Comments |

I have been doing some improvements to my blog. Most of them are internal ones (like upgrading WordPress, updating admin plugins, improving the CSS compatibility, etc) and others are visible ones, like the new About image, the link to my LinkedIn profile and the Blogroll with the blogs I have in my Bloglines account.

By the way, I discovered FeedBurner and started to use it to manage the feeds from this blog. All the requests are redirected now to FeedBurner. You don’t have to change anything to continue reading the feeds. May be some old articles appears as new in your feedreader, but that should be temporal. I have changed the information that appeared in the feeds; now you get only a brief summary of the post and if you want to read it entirely you have to click and visit the page (there is a open debate in internet about this: Full Text vs. Summary Feeds. Well, I changed my politic, but I could return to the full text in the future. I am only experimenting).

And that is all. Tomorrow I promise a more interesting entry.

PD: Thanks, to my bro for creating the caricature. He is the creator of the great comic site TiNoMi.

You’ll never finish refining your blog. That’s one of the best things about blogging. Fine tuning, making things “perfect” but never quite getting there. It’s part of the fun.

Good luck with the full-text feeds. I think it’s helped my subscription levels, but it’s also brought in feed scrapers. I’ll be writing about that one day soon.

Thanks for the link!

Hey Jesus!

I’ve loved your blog since I discovered it a month or so ago. It’s super clean and easy to read. Thanks for recommending those Sutter books too — they’re definitely a great read. I hope you don’t mind, but I added your blog to my blog roll as well. Take care!
