A Couple Changes
Feb 20th, 2007 by Kirk M
Just to note a couple-three changes I’ve made to the blog.
First, the Archives that used to live in the sidebar as Categories and Monthly listings as with most blogs has been moved. You see, this blog, as I am in life, is not like most others despite the typical layout and besides that—I have more future intentions for my sidebar than just for simple navigation. Therefor I have moved all the Archives from the sidebar to an Archives Page, the link to which lives at the top of the header with the other tabs. I figured that this is a much more presentable way of doing things and I also figure that if the reader is looking for a post(s) from the past or all the posts from a specific category then they won’t be much interested in the main page anyway.
The second change which is much more subtle I suppose is the new Pages section that now lives at the top of the sidebar. This will be filled with more selections than the one you currently see but for now you will see a Page called Plugins. No, these are not plugins I have built since I am not up to that point yet in doing code and may never be for that matter. Rather, this is a Page of the plugins I currently use (activated that is) so if you’re wondering how some function is accomplished or why things look the way they do, here is where you can find out.
The last but probably most important change (to me anyway) is the header image that graces the top of every page in this blog. The blog theme is called Misty Look by Sadish Bala with some small functional changes by yours truly to accommodate some of the plugins I have installed and also to correct some bad navigational code for single posts. But the header image in Misty Look I have exchanged for one of my own. I took this picture a couple years ago when my honey and I were exploring the surrounding territory one Spring weekend. And going with the original theme’s “Misty” appearance, I softened it up some. The most important part of this image however, is the little guy sitting on the right hand bank of the small river, apparently just enjoying the Spring day and just thinking about this and that and the other thing. For those of you that may not recognize him, it’s Walt Kelly’s rather famous Pogo Possum. You can read up on these two by following the links I have provided but suffice it to say I have that little possum sitting on the bank of that river for some very personal reasons that include my father’s life as well as mine. I’m very glad he’s there. The standard attributions and copyright stuff is down at it’s usual location at the bottom of the footer. That’s all the changes for now. Thanks for dropping by.
