I’ve integrated the Yiid.it Like/Dislike button on my blog, so you can like and recommend my articles through all the social services supported by Yiid (currently: Facebook and Twitter) - or you can dislike them if you feel I only post crap …
The second change I’ve incorporated: I’ve dumped Disqus. Nothing against them, they’re a really great service, I just noticed that almost nobody used it. Most of the commenting on my blog took place on Facebook. Thus: The Facebook Social Plugin for Comments replaced Disqus. Let’s see who’s the first to comment on that …
From now onwards, my blog will have a subdomain. It’s no longer available under lukasrosenstock.net, all postings have been shifted to blog.lukasrosenstock.net.
The reason for this change is that I might add a few things directly on the domain which cannot be configured in Tumblr, so I thought this is better.
In you follow me on Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook etc. it doesn’t make a difference anyway …
And of course you can still type lukasrosenstock.net and will be forwarded. Permalinks also have forwardings and won’t be broken.
Tumblr (where this blog runs) just sent me this mail:
I was like: Whoa! I didn’t know the blog was already one year old! Then I went to check my first posting and it was actually written on 23rd July 2009, whereas I thought I had only set up this site somewhere in September. Still it took me more than one and half months from account creation (which was, I think, just for testing purpose and without intent …) until actually using it, which means I can celebrate blog birthday twice :-)
Anyway, thanks Tumblr, it’s a nice idea to send reminders like this!
Today I have worked on the design (Tumblr theme) of this blog. There were quite a few things pending to be done (for example you could not navigate back to older entries) and I optimized a few things. I hope you like it!
On the last few weekends, whenever I had a little time to spare, I worked on a redesign of this blog / site. Most of it should be done by now and I made the changes live, so you can see it! Feedback is appreciated, but don’t be harsh, as I am not a designer (but always willing to learn new things)!
I have to get back to do some ‘real work’, so the fine tuning may take some time, but I want to give credit already to the creators of material that I have used:
Thank you!
