Small Tweaks Made to Blog

I thought it was about time to tweak the blog a little bit. So I added some more information to the footer; it now contains a link to the RSS feed that is automatically generated by WordPress and a link to follow me on Twitter. I also added my email address to the footer to make it a little bit easier for people to contact me. To foil spammers I made the email address an image instead of text, but if your typing and spelling skills are up to par you should not have a problem.

Another thing I wanted to update is the pagination of the blog. After some research into WordPress plugins I replaced the standard (pretty horrible) pagination with the WP-PageNavi plugin by Lester Chan. After some CSS styling I ended up with the Digg-like pagination you can see at the bottom of most pages. I might spruce these up some more in the future.

I also updated the neglected “Book of the Moment” section in the sidebar with jQuery in Action by Bear Bibeault and Yehuda Katz. I have enjoyed this book a lot and it has reignited my passion for coding which had faded a lot. I recommend this book to any web designer that wants to take up coding… it’s really not that hard to get started.
