Spring Cleaning

It’s been a while since I worked on this site and my posting frequency seems to have slowed down a bit as well. After receiving a notice that there was a security update for my blogging software, WordPress, I figured it was time to make some minor updates and tweaks. Most of the changes are in the backend, but there are some new or updated features and functionality:

• updated WordPress to 2.1.3
• updated and cleaned up WordPress plugins.
  (most notably, Now Reading list has been cleaned up and formatted with a complete book archive.)
• added a Movie Review plugin which can be seen in the sidebar and also has its own movie ratings archive. I still have to input movies into the list and review them, but that’ll happen over time.
• added a mobile photoblog in the sidebar for pictures that I take from my phone throughout the day.

I tried updating my theme, but it turned out to be too much work. And after having not worked on my theme for a while, I had forgotten all the little customizations that go into it. From now on, I’ll only change my theme when there is a major wordpress engine update.

I might make some more minor changes to touch things up, but that should be most of it for now. Hopefully, now that I’ve gotten my site to a point where I’m happy with the design, I’ll be more motivated to post. Here’s to hoping.
