Since I actively broke boke my main cms install last month, I�ve been doing a lot of work on this site: content wise, but even moreso behind the scenes. Not really �blogworthy
per case, but enough to mention as a collective.
You could have seen it coming: I removed the hCard from my Weblog index, and incoporated the principle in the existing markup of my home page.
The relevant portion looks like this: [Skip]
<address class="hCard" id="of_acj">�of <a class="n url" href="/ego/" rel="Author" rev="made" title="ACJ�s">Alexander Christiaan Jacob</a></address>
Yeah, that's a hell of a lot of attributes to be using on one instance of element
. Oh well, another thing I did this weekend was remove all instances of the a
div
element from the chapter pages, so I save some bytes there. ?
The Remember Me
feature of the comment system of my Weblog appeared to have gone broken in the process of the recent code changes. That is fixed now, and not only that: successfully commenting now directs you to a page that informs you that the comment is pending, and that you need not post again.
Also, anonymous comments are no longer labeled by [Anonymous]
. They only show Posted on date
instead.
The custom error pages have been improved. They now provide a proper error message, which includes the requested resource; they no longer choke on ampersands in said request; and they provide a search form, whith the requested resource as the default search query, cleared from slashes.
The search results page has also been improved, and a little search form has been implimented on all appropriate pages. (With a noticable increase of usage, according to the stats.)
During a break at work (Vorm Vijf), I came up with some concept for visual site designs. This weekend, I played around with one of these ideas. I liked the�extremely light (save for the background image)�design so much, I decided to use it as a default style for this site. The old
design is available as alternate style for user agents that support it.
(For those that completely missed the point: there is a brush in the design. Brushed up,
eh eh � eh. Quite.)

Wow. Pretty likable. Also, h3+p { text-indent: 0; } ? ;)

Thanks, Rob. Note that I slapped the css together and it needs a lot of tweaking. However, why would I add h3+p { text-indent: 0; }
? Text is only indented when two paragraphs follow eachother directly.

Goddamn. Very nice.

Perhaps you should make that rule p:not([class~=date])+p
. (Apparently a CLASS selectors is not a simple selector.)
