As you may’ve noticed if you read the blog directly instead of through an aggregator, I’ve been messing around with the sidebar. It’s still way too long, though, but a thorough fix will have to wait till I redo the entire design. (And possibly switch to Mephisto.) I’m thinking of moving both the Archives and the Categories lists into dropdown boxes, which will save a ton of space. I’m debating the merits of having Contact Me, My Sites, New Bookmarks, Flickr, and LibraryThing on the sidebar — they really could go in an About Me page or something like that. Hmm… Oh, I’ve also bumped up the number of recent comments displayed to 10 (from seven).
At least now the sidebar looks the same on both Firefox and Internet Explorer, which wasn’t the case before. (IE didn’t support the special list bullets.) The new look sort of reminds me of Subtraction, though I certainly wasn’t thinking of Khoi’s site when I put this together.
