old-guy-on-computerI spent several hours this morning making some changes and adjustments to this site. Snipped a few bits here, added some doodads there. :)

  • Added a button after each post that makes it easy to share it or save it.
  • Switched from using categories for each post to a more flexible Tagging system. If you look over on the left sidebar and down a bit you should see a clickable list of all the Tags I’ve assigned to the content on the site.
  • Added a Twitter thingamajig to the sidebar that shows my latest Tweets and makes it easy for you to Follow me on Twitter. BTW- I used a free service called Sprout to make that widget. It’s an easy way to make interactive Flash based content.
  • When you make a comment on a post, you now have the option to subscribe and you’ll be notified when someone else comment on the same post. Should be a great way to keep track of conversations.
  • And one more…Couldn’t resist this Snazzy Archive setup, even though it is just a bit overboard. :)

Hmmm, guess that’s it. I tried out several other watchacallits and plugins but rejected them for one reason or another. As always I’d be happy to hear your comments and suggestions about Shiny Life. DId I break somethin’? Is the site easy to read? Easy to navigate? Too cluttered or plain? Let me know!
