Over the course of the last week, I’ve made some changes to my blog. These changes include:
A new CSS stylesheet: As posted earlier, I’m currently using the TypePad style from Movable Style. Although some people have expressed their dislike of the color scheme, I think it’s nice. I also like the layout. I’ll continue making minor tweaks to this stylesheet until summer, when I’ll replace it with my own, custom, stylesheet.
A clean MT install: Since I’ve been experiencing minor difficulties with MT, I decided to recreate the blog with a fresh install. My MT problems have since stopped, but I ran into two minor issues during the install. Initially, I was not able to restore my entries using MT’s import function. After much troubleshooting, I figured out that the import file must be saved in Unicode. In addition, I forgot to save my link list. Consequently, I’m slowly rebuilding the list of the links on the right side of my blog.
“Cruft-free URLs“: Following Mark’s excellent guide, I’ve changed my archive URL format. Each entry’s Permalink and archive file is now based upon the entry’s date and title. I believe that this system makes much more sense. However, in changing my URL format, I’ve broken many links. I hope this is only a temporary problem as people update their links and as search engines refresh their indexes.
I plan on making more changes to this blog in the near future, especially in regards to accessibility. Just wait and see.
