A new look for Bligbi

As you can tell I’ve went and changed themes again and thought I’d let you all know what’s changed.The things that have changed:

The Feedburner feed is now a short version due to the requirements of a couple of new services I’ve recently signed up with. If you are subscribed to the FB feed but prefer the long feed, it is still available. The URL for the long version is:

http://bligbi.com/feed

I’ve currently got the Atheist Blogroll by Mojoey on it’s own page as it’s rather large now. I’d like to return it to the main page as a dropdown list as well as convert my other rolls to the same. If anyone knows how to do that, could you let me know how it’s accomplished?

The contact form has changed due to an influx of a-holes lately. You can still use a fake email address, but clicking ’send message’ is now a great way to let me know your IP address.

What’s New:

There’s now a blogroll for commenters. If you comment with enough regularity and have a site it’ll be listed there even if it’s listed in another place. If I happen to overlook you, don’t take it personally. Just let me know and I’ll get on it.

The new theme supports gravatars which are available here. All you need is a valid email address, preferably the one you use for commenting.

Some things you may like:

If you use WordPress as I do, here are some things you may want to look into:

Comment Policy: A nifty little plugin that you can use to direct commenters to your comment policy or the like. It puts a checkbox at the end of the comment form that must be checked before the comment can be submitted.

Contact Form: A contact plug-in that logs the IP address of the sender and allows the sender to send a copy of the email to themselves.

Zelig Dropdown Cats: A plugin that allows you to turn your categories into a dropdown menu with ease.

Global Translator: An opensource plug-in that lets you choose which translations you want to provide to readers.

XHTML Sitemap: Google suggests it, Chris Pearson makes it possible and rather easy.
