New Blog Design

After a little more than two years and 500 posts we thought it was time for a redesign of the Word to the Wise blog.
While we were cleaning up the design we also fixed some functionality that was broken and added some new features:

  • Everything should render cleanly in most any browser
  • Search works!
  • The archives, over on the right hand side, are a lot easier to navigate
  • If you visit the blog from your cellphone you’ll get a nice layout customized for the smaller screen
  • Down at the bottom of each post are some little badges that’ll let you share the article via twitter or facebook or digg or …
  • The little badges also let you send the article via email, or convert it to a print-friendly PDF
  • There’s a live-ish feed of Laura and I on twitter on the right hand side
  • If you post a comment you’ll find that we generate a little monster avatar for you, if you don’t have a gravatar set up
  • Our RSS feed for new comments is a bit more visible than it was

We’ll be tweaking things over the next couple of weeks – if you see any problems comment here or email us

Light blogging through 2009

There will be some light blogging here through the end of the year. We are headed out for our first vacation in years next week, then will be spending some time with family. I will be blogging before we leave and will try to get some posts written to trickle out while I’m gone.
I hope everyone has a happy and relaxed holiday season. I am looking forward to resting, recharging and returning ready to take on 2009.

On my followup EEC post Tamara comments

The eec made a really bad and ugly mistake but you can take my word for it that they have learned from it and that it will not happen again. I am not going to blog about this because I really do believe in the value of the EEC and what it brings to the industry. It’s okay to call out a mistake, but do you really need to destroy an organization that is so worthwile?
