[This post is rather obviously out-of-date.]
The most radical change you’ll see if you get to the site, rather than read it on RSS, is that it’s single-column. That cuts out a lot of the stuff that was here before, e.g.:
- recent comments
- blogroll
- widgets
So to tackle those:
Recent Comments: To be honest, I write this blog as a semi-continuous rant or eulogy about the stuff I love and hate. Very occasionally as an ideas-gathering forum. Forum sites are far better than blogs for debate, IMHO. I’m still accepting and responding to comments, nonetheless. Lots of times I want ideas, sure, but I think other sites than mine might do better service. Comments aren’t a priority.
Blogroll: You can find it in Bloglines, if you like, but I’ll flag up anything interesting on Twitter or de.licio.us. I’ll try to recommend any new blogs I come across that are really interesting. But, honestly, do you really need new blogs to read? I rarely read my own blogroll in full, so consider it more a recommended reading list for starters rather than an indication of what I am reading.
And if you like a blogroll on a site because your interest in that is Google Juice for a better search position, then just Fuck Off. I don’t care: write more, better stuff.
Widgets: They are the devil’s spawn. Fuck ‘em. Honestly. They screw up every website they’re on. There may be one exception to that. But I’ll either do without or incorporate somehow. (More on that soon).
There are also some benefits to the theme:
Flickr feed: inappropriate for the Internet photos of me, my family, friends and stuff I go to.
Twitter feed: inappropriate comments about what I am up to and cool links.
Delicious feed: best links of the day without that annoying ‘links of the day’ post in the main blog. Clearly, you can subscribe to my delicious feed, if you really care. Never seen the point of those sort of posts in the blog, but as a value-add, I can.
Gorgeous: Oh c’mon!
