Today's another day

Ed the Editor's personal blog corner

After a ridiculously early start today, I have the dubious pleasure / embarrassment of announcing that I just cleared out about 2000 lines of superfluous code from the website! And on the constructive side, today I published The Tour de Gonads, a cycle race that is not for the squeamish out there; Keith Richard, gets the celebrity hair treatment, and I take a skewed look at how Microsoft will always win, however well Apple do in the Mac v Dell/HP and Leopard v Vista battles.

Theme tweaking never ends

When I first took control of the theme a few months ago, I knew enough about javascript to be dangerous. Let's just say, I didn't choose the most economical route for some of my tweaks.

Anyway, after a re-think, I hope that after the judicious use of about 5 lines of code, I have satisfactorily arranged the bookmarks and comments / trackback links and added a more intuitive way for you to Browse deeper into the site. We shall see. Or let me know if I am barking up the wrong tree.

And horror of horrors, checking around, I realise that the 404 wrong URL error page is riddled with... errors. Spot on Ed! Sorry folks, what an oversight, and suffice to say, it is now almost top of my To Tweak list.

Yesterday I experimented with a serious post on Blogaboutyourblog. It was a trip down memory lane and very enjoyable too. A couple of cogs are turning, but not so fast that I have done anything about the suggestion, yet.

And after watching a report on America, deemed too fat to fight by a senator, I am reminded of a killer observation on Lord Likely's site. America, the only nation whose inhabitants weigh more than the land they occupy. Ouch.

Moving on, I have some more blog code thinning to do. Cheers.
