Trying out a new look for jeffporten.com, which makes this version 7.0. I suppose that to keep in touch with my Apple roots, the next two revs should be 7.1 and 7.5.
Aside from the look—which is trivial to change here on WordPress—there are three primary features I’m looking for:
-
Centralization of where I’m putting all of my writing, including social networking services.
-
Better control of CSS; the old theme was a pain in the butt.
-
Better mobile templating. It’s pretty borked right now, and on the TODO list.
The excellent IFTTT service is dropping support for Twitter triggers, which means that I can’t use nifty rules to archive my tweets in ways that I like. So I’m going to attempt using my blog as my publication engine to Facebook and Twitter, so as to keep everything in one nice place (that I own, dammit).
Current rulesets: anything explicitly marked as Facebook or Twitter gets posted there. Illuminatus—my short posts with links or minor commentary—will be posted with full text to Facebook and no notice to Twitter. Conspiracy Theories—the “serious” writing—will post links to Facebook and Twitter.
It’s been a very long time since I checked in to see how many RSS readers I have, and how often people come here directly rather than following one of my social network links. Folks who follow me closely will see duplicate posts, and you’re the people I’d like to least annoy—so let me know what annoys you. At the very least, I’ll be make the links to the Conspiracy Theories and Illuminatus feeds (excluding the Facebook and Twitter material) more prominent. Any other annoyances, please let me know.
