I’ve spent some time cleaning up the site and making some minor improvements here and there. If you only read the RSS feed, please take a few moments to click through and visit the new site.

I made some typography changes, added more padding around the text, and I think the text content now looks a lot more readable. The pages feel less crowded and a bit more pleasing to the eye.

I also added two new comment plugins: Top Commentators and CommentLuv.

Top Commentators will add a list of the top commentators on the site, updated monthly (displayed in the sidebar). If you leave enough comments to make the list, your name will display with a link to your site. I did this to help encourage more comments here and to extend a little link love to everyone who takes the time to comment. This list will reset each month.

If you’re not familiar with CommentLuv, it will automatically display a link to the most recent post from your blog (whatever URL you enter when you leave a comment). This is a great way to build links to your site and gain a little more exposure. Try leaving a comment on this post if you want to see it in action.

I hope everyone finds the changes to be helpful. I added the comment plugins to add more value and give something in return to everyone who takes the time to leave a comment. I made the text and design changes to improve readability and hopefully bring a little more traffic to the site. Please leave a comment on this post and let me know what you think.
