Recent Blog Updates

I have taken advantage of some of the time that I've had away from work this last month to make a few changes to the layout and to add some features to this site.

First, since I tend to write long posts, I've switched the main and archive pages over to summaries with a link to the post page with the full post thereon posted. :-)

Second, due to the excessive length of the (right) side bar, I have trimmed some of the links (need to do more trimming) and placed the archive page links in a drop down menu.

Most dramatically, I've added a side bar on the left side of the main and archive pages. This bar contains a list of books which I'm currently reading, or have recently read. I intend to write short reviews of the books listed and once I've done so, I'll add a link to those reviews with its appropriate entry on the left.

Oh, I've also added "tags" to each post (well, the most recent couple of months posts, so far). This should help readers get an idea what the post is about (in conjunction with the summary) and should make older posts more accessible to the web (and, more importantly, users thereof).
