Administration: New Theme Imminent & Other Stuff
By the middle of this week, I should have the new theme on the site, probably sans badger on the logo. I’m also going to make some changes to the structure of the site. These include:
- I’ve been posting some long articles lately, and there are going to be more. To make the site more streamlined, short articles will appear in full, but longer articles (3 or more paragraphs) will present the first two paragraphs and you’ll have to click through to read the rest. This won’t affect RRS feeds, where you’ll still get the full feed. If you don’t subscribe via RSS, you may want to because it’s the easiest way to get the content.
- The number of stories on the landing page will increase to 15, with each story being formatted a little more appropriately for on-screen reading.Ads will be repositioned on the landing page so that they’re still unobtrusive, but are between the first story and second on the main landing page. Ads will be inserted into single story and archive pages a little better.
- Navigation will be improved, with the right hand column being placed on the left, and with a navigation system added under the main site masthead.
- A list of the most recent posts as well as most recent comments will be added to the left-hand column.
If you’re getting some benefit out of this site, please visit any of the sponsors on any page, or consider clicking on Google ad links if something piques your interest - it’s a win-win for both me and the advertiser. Heart on my sleeve, I love doing this, but I’d love doing it more if I could make some moolah from it to feed my gaming habit. In most cases I detest advertising and don’t want to sell out to make some money doing this, but how many people would pay a small fee to access a site like mine. Keep in mind that there’s a donation button as well, so if you want to drop a few coppers my way, they’ll be much appreciated.

There’s a Super Secret My Eyes Only project in the works at the moment for the site. If you’re really lucky, you may get a taste of it soon. Curious? Good. I’m still not telling you much more until I’m ready.
