Time for a turnaround

Wednesday | December 1, 2004 | 8:59 am  

I know, I know, I haven’t blogged much.

And by much, I mean at all.

But that’s all going to change, soon. Here’s what needs to get done:

  • Dec­o­rate for Christ­mas
  • Upgrade to MT 3.1
  • Inte­grate a better Linkblog/Blogmarks/Blinks with del.​icio.us — I don’t like the default way it ships links off to your blog, I’m work­ing on some­thing more like Kottke’s remain­dered links.
  • Fix bugs in del.​icio.us linkblog inte­gra­tion (con­tin­u­ally post­ing the same entries)
  • Migrate links from old posts, that I actu­ally intended to post, to new linkblog
  • Make future-​proof, cruft-​free URLs — I think I’m going to go with a slug for all future entries, and I’m also not fond of /archives … maybe /entries or /view…
  • Move my non-​blog pages to a seper­ate blog in MT.
  • Create a drafts blog — in keep­ing with the open­ness and spirit of blog­ging, I thought it’d be cool to have a drafts blog (and accom­pa­ny­ing RSS feed) so you could see what’s in the hopper. Might not be worth read­ing, but I think it’ll put the pres­sure on me to, you know, actu­ally write some­thing more than once a year.
  • Start, you know, actu­ally writ­ing some­thing in this space.
  • Redesign — fixed, liquid, em-​based, where she stops nobody knows!
  • Add a “What am I up to” sec­tion — cool name pend­ing, sug­ges­tions welcome.
