The site is now bright and Shiny Drupal 6.8. It actually has been for a few weeks, but I'm just getting around to writing a new blog post. The frontpage is now panels, and will soon reflect several 'views' discrete lists in different areas.
I'm taking this site in a new direction. I've basically found that a blog format is somewhat constraining for me some of the time. Particularly times when I don't feel like writing an editorial or a rant, or life update. I've broken things down into thing that I do like to write about and created/am creating a section for each.
Currently the frontpage has 4 columns, of which the two center-most hold my personal blog and my sustainability page. They will soon have a culinary section and a book review section, as well. The frontpage will be a landing page to take you to the various other sections with very brief teasers. The far left sidebar will remain my twitter feed. I don't update this site nearly often enough, but if you are looking for a quick update of what I've been doing, look there. The far right will soon be an array of Open Source logos that power this site. Drupal, Linux, PHP, MySQL, Apache, JQuery, etc, as well as a list of recommended news articles that I have read, and thought worth pointing out to peoples. I might another section for hiking, but lets not get carried away here just yet.
For people who just visit the site normally in a browser, this doesn't mean much to you. IF YOU VIEW THE SITE WITH AN RSS READER, you'll soon have some more options. I will try to keep the current URL that you subscribe to an uber-feed of all of the above sections. However, after the transition you'll be able to pick and choose which feeds you want to be subscribed to. No need for you to be reading my latest Chili recipe if you aren't into culinary pursuits. Feel free to pick and choose, or contact me if you think there is an issue with any of the feeds.
That's about it. Cheers.
