Housekeeping: October 2006 Archives

I played around with Movable Type and made some changes this weekend.

To conserve space on the right hand column, I converted the Monthly Archives links to a pulldown menu. I promptly re-used that saved space by adding a blog roll. A blog roll is merely a list of sites (in this case infosec and information technology) that I view regularly.

I added a back arrow on the calendar over on the right hand colum. It takes you to the Monthly archive page for the previous month. I am thinking of adding the calendar view to the Monthly archive page. That calendar slows down the site build, but I like that I can easily see my post frequencey. I shoot for 5 days a week posting. As you can see, I'm not keeping up.

I registered for Google Analysitics. That may give me a more accurate count of visitors. Currently, I'm a really high unique visitor count thanks to blog spammers. Unfortunately, this method will not count the RSS readers unless they click through to the site to read the article. Since I put the full article info in the RSS feed, most readers won't do that.

Looks like last year Movabletype stopped updating index.rdf. I've deleted that file so if your RSS reader is looking for that and getting a 404, you should update to a current feed.
