Blog Housekeeping

I read an interesting article written by my friend Everton at this Connected Internet Blog about Blog Housekeeping. He was approached by one of his readers about the subject and Everton decided to change several aspects of his blog because they were either outdated, annoying or no asset for him or his readership.

Since I’m going to introduce a new theme in a couple of days - yeah, consider this the official announcement, hehe - I wanted to make sure that you all feel comfortable with it and that all the “bad” from this theme is not taken over into the new one while all the things that you like are.

My approach is to ask you what you like, what you miss and what you don’t like so that I can add and remove stuff from this blog. I think I should give you some examples:

Would you like polls, the top articles of (week, month, year), more links, less links, bigger articles, smaller articles, links to social bookmarking / news sites.. For the tech savy, know a wordpress plugin that I should use ? Let me know.

I can’t change everything of course. I don’t want to change the way advertisements are handled at ghacks because they tend to pay my server and traffic but I can definitely say that there will be no additional advertisement on this site.

I hope that you are at least a little bit excited about the new theme. I personally think that it looks really well and provides a better color scheme making it better to read.
