Rough Draft

More Blog Changes

I wasn't tired tonight, so I spent a little time working on my blog. I've added links to individual categories in the sidebar, mainly because I want to keep track of how many entries I have for each category. (Only 2 video game entries?! I need to start playing more video games!) I still need to update the category template, so the category pages actually have a sidebar.

I also saw that Jeff updated his archive paths to be more meaningful. I've been meaning to do this, every since I read about doing that on Erik's blog. So, I finally joined the crowd and updated my archive paths to be /blog/archive/Year/Month/Day/EntryTitle.php. I like having the more meaningful links, and this blog entry that I found in a comment on Erik's blog helped me easily set up a .htaccess file that should redirect all the old links to the new links.

I'm not sure why exactly, but I'm finally starting to get into this blog. For a while it was just a place for me to write stuff occasionally, but now I'm starting to actually want to work on site (both backend stuff and CSS/XHTML/PHP stuff). I think there's two main reasons why I'm getting into it. First, it gives me a chance to learn a bunch of stuff I don't know, but want to. Second, it's a nice change of pace from coding. I seem to be in a different frame of thinking when I'm working on the blog from when I'm coding. So anyway, excpect continued updates to the site both in content and design/layout.
