(Club)Housekeeping
Trying to get things in order around here, if only one small piece at a time.
I've done a little behind the scenes work on feitclub.com and yesterday I silently added two new pages to the site. One is the newly slim-lined Links page, which was woefully out of date for far too long. I mean, does anyone need me to tell them that the New York Times has a website? I thought about dropping the page entirely but I wanted to include some pointers to websites run by friends. At the very least I needed to return the favor to Alex over at DoFuss.
What's brand new and exciting for me is the Contact page. I've ditched the tiny mail link on the right and created a page detailing how to reach me and listing all of the websites that I'm frequenting these days. It hit me last summer that I've got all these little profiles and userpages floating around out there, and while all of them lead back here there was nothing here to connect back to all of them. With the new Contact page, now I've got a mini-map of these feitclub outposts. Maybe, just maybe, some of you will check them out and decide to sign up for Digg or 1UP or whatever.
In other, purely internal news, I've finally started adding labels to my posts. I have no idea how long it will take to label all my past posts (there are over NINE HUNDRED) but it's an easy way to give readers a tool for scanning my material. My poor Archive page is only so helpful regarding what topics I've been covering. If any of you are reading this site via RSS, going back and labeling my old posts may make old posts look new, but this cannot be helped. I hope you will excuse the mess as I try to make this place more user-friendly.
