I think this week will mostly be about getting my house in order. I’ve been cleaning at home, backing things up on the Mac, organizing my electronic life (on three different systems, in two countries)… all important, but seemingly secondary to the work I “should be doing.”
I will, sometime in the next week or two, roll out a new default template for the whole site. It includes a bit of PHP that will include a left-hand navbar if it is present. This way, everyone can have a standard RH side, and a custom LH side, with links and whatnot (it’s just HTML). It gives the ability for people to easily customize their site with useful links and images; I feel the ability to personalize that way will be important in the future. It is implemented simply, so it shouldn’t break too easily; I’m poking at mine to see what is possible.
