For those who subscribe to this blog via RSS I thought it might be worth highlighting a few recent changes that I have made to this site;
1. A complete change of site template, hopefully the site is now more aesthetically pleasing and easier to read. I liked the old template a lot, but its simplicity sometimes made things a little awkward. Many thanks to mg12 for an excellent WordPress theme.
2. Language translation. This is done using Microsoft’s Translator service, you will find a drop down box at the bottom of the right hand side bar that will allow you to translate blog posts and comments into several languages in real time.
3. Addition of tweets to the right hand sidebar. I’m not really sure what true value this brings, but it was an easy addition. I’ve been using Twitter for a couple of months now and have grown to really like it, I find myself following all sorts of folks who I wouldn’t usually get to chat with. You can follow me at http://twitter.com/osrin.
4. email subscriptions. Again this is on the right hand side bar, just tap in an email address and hit subscribe (the same process to unsubscribe) and you’ll get instant notification when I post a new blog entry or add something to the site. Once again, I’m not sure what the real value of this is, but it was an easy additional and a couple of people seem to be using it already.
Enjoy!
