How I got back to blogging? A few site updates
Twitter has been lately stealing more time than usual and that leaves me with no time to blog at all. I resolved to renew my interest in my blogging and decided to give the site a few much needed updates. Site updates are a great way to de-addict yourself from twitter and get back to blogging. Give it a try.
Theme changes
Thunderror.com now runs on the dark HemingwayEx theme which is in complete contrast with the earlier light and plain Grid focus magazine theme. The New theme also introduces the new top sliding navigation bar and is completely widget aware allowing the use of powerful wordpress widgets over the site. The new theme has been configured to display only post excerpts instead of complete posts to keep the interface minimal and easy to navigate.
New pages
A few new pages have been added to the site. A page for twitter, a page for readers to contact me directly and a subscribe to RSS page has been introduced. The “subscribe to” and twitter pages provide a background on RSS and twitter for easy use.
Tweetboard
Thunderror.com now integrates twitter’s conversations on the website using the power of Tweetboard. Visitors to the site who use IE might have trouble accessing this feature, considering that tweetboard is still in early Alpha. Update: 9 Jul 09, Removed Tweetboard. I would now be using more of friendfeed and less of twitter.
Disqus commenting system
The WordPress comment system has been replaced with the disqus comment system. Disqus allows visitors to establish their commenting identity through twitter or facebook and allows for easy administration and use of blog post comments. Thanks to @akula and @disqus for the help.
