Over the last six months I've been closing in on how I think this blog should look but it still needs adjustment (now in progress). It looks OK but not great. I'm no web designer so I can't pull off spectacular -- but I should be able to shoot for great. With a little CSS, a lot of tweaking and a self-critical eye it's not that hard.

"Link blogging" has really taken off. Lots of people are posting their favourite links publicly in various formats, just like I've been publishing my bullet blog (on the left side of the main page) for the past two years. It really has been that long: two years this Thursday, 556 posts and 271 comments. Yeah, it snuck up on me too!

I'm considering going with one of these newfangled link blogging services. I'm trying out del.icio.us/ryanlowe right now. These services are specialized. They are faster and easier to use via browser bookmarklets and are more flexible than MovableType.

BUT I really like the ability to make comments on my Bullet Blog links because I found that I could put small thoughts there and leave my main blog for bigger, article-length thoughts. If I can't make comments on links in these other services I don't know if I'll find them as useful.

I'm also making a big career change. The ryanlowe.ca website and blog always seem to follow that cycle. I'll have to leave more details until later, unless you just want to ask me in person.

Update 9:12 AM Just the front page for now. What do you think?

Update 11:41 PM Done the archives and comments now too.
