Don’t ever change

11/25/2002 – 12:46 pm

Okay, a few changes here.

  • Removed the javascript that would automatically open links in new windows.
  • Removed BlogSnob ad box.
  • Removed the Blogdex metalinker links.
  • Removed the Google search term highlighting.
  • Rewrote the HTML for the menus in the sidebar to be more semantically meaningful.
  • Revalidated the XHTML and CSS.
  • Added an RSS 2.0 feed (in addition to the 0.91 version).
  • Added link to my FOAF file.
  • Fixed MIME types served for RSS and FOAF files.
  • Added a few new links to my blogroll.
  • Replaced box-model hacks in my CSS with the Simplified Box Model Hack.

As a bonus side-effect of some of the CSS cleanup, this page looks a little more reasonable in Netscape 4 now.

TODO: More HTML tweaking to make the blog entries more semantically meaningful. [...]
