If you’re not viewing this through an RSS reader, you’ve probably noticed the new look of my blog. Thanks to Scott and Omar, I’m running DasBlog 1.9 Beta with a host of new features including:
- Faster performance
- Tag Cloud support
- Related entries list – click the blog entry and get a list of suggested items
- Gravatar support in comments
- Improved tagging for major blog search systems
- Great Windows Live Writer support
- Improved comment spam protection
I’m sure I’ve missed a few features there, but at the end of the day I couldn’t convert to CS for a few reasons despite the great support I saw – namely loss of existing permalinks and frankly, the DasBlog guys have been in high gear on competitive features. Not to mention the Theme structure is easier for me to digest- perhaps through experience. I’m now using Microsoft Expression Web Designer Beta 1 for my site design!
Speaking of high gear, I’m currently in Denver on my way to surprise my Mother for her 60th b/d in Atlanta. She thinks she’s going to do wedding planning and that I’m on a flight to Tokyo (shhh!). She won’t see this so I think the surprise is safe.
Any suggestions on good BBQ and sight-seeing things to do while in ATL are appreciated. Somehow I don’t think my sister (a vegetarian, respectfully) will be much help there. 😉
One response to “A New Look and a Short Vacation”
Go to the Botanical Gardens and to the Zoo–new panda cub. Call Tom Wallace for BBQ.
