Blog Face Lift

March 31, 2005 No Comments

As this is my personal blog and not part of the iFroggy Network, maintenance of it often falls far down my list. But, a week or so ago, after seeing Trackback spam I didn’t know was there, I decided to get this place in ship shape again.

Here is what was accomplished:

– I have upgraded Nucleus CMS and the plugins in use, as needed.
– I have shrunk images that were messing up the design, come up with a maximum image size and a directory where my images from posts will be stored (yeah, I know… big deal, but I hadn’t done it).
– I have added an RSS 0.91 feed and had my feed listed on FeedBurner (which makes it available on My Yahoo!, NewsGator and others) and Bloglines.
– I have created profiles at Technorati, Blogwise and BlogStreet. Although, BlogStreet is really taking their time. :(
– My item pages now have better page titles, that include the title of the entry.
– I fixed my Trackback feature up. It works and works with my blacklist so that spam can’t get through (as much). I deleted all of the old spam.
– I have added an entries counter.
– I have updated my buttons! ;)
– Fixed other small things as I saw them.

So, we’re looking sharp. :)
