I made several changes to this site (again). Having the linklog and moblog intertwined with the rest of the posts seemed like a good idea in the past and it works quite well for kottke.org, but for me, it doesn’t. Somehow breaks the flow of the main column. Besides that my moblog hack sucked anyway and mirroring links from del.icio.us is kinda superfluous.
So from now on, linklog and photolog reside in the sidebar, powered by del.icio.us (+rss digest) and flickr respectively. Both are magnificent webapps and serve my needs far better than anything i could come up with and if you haven’t done so already give them a try, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I also tweaked the sidebar layout a bit: the sidebar houses two floating divs, one contains site navigation elements, the other contains linklog and photolog. In narrow windows the linklog and photolog *should* appear beneath the navigation menu. In browser windows somewhere beyond 1024 pixels in width, the linklog and photolog *should* appear to the right of the navigation window (just play around resizing your browser window and it should become a little more obvious what i’m trying to convey here).
This has only been tested in safari and firefox(mac) and i half expect this little trick to break internet explorer in terrible ways, but honestly i couldn’t care less. If you’re still on this piece-of-crap browser all you can expect from me is pity. If you’re on a reasonably modern browser (no, netscape 4 and ie 6 don’t count) and things are still broken for you, please drop me a line so i can try to fix it. To those of the anal-retentive variety, feel free to poke around the site and tell me what i’ve broken in the transition.
The redesign also caused some major changes to the rss feeds, i’ll post more information about that in the near future.
