October Site Updates

Joe Martin — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 03:28:59 +0000

And a good Saturday evening to all of you. While Adam is busy churning out the interesting and (I hope) controversial content, I’ve been lying lazily about. But I did manage to bestir myself long enough to make a few updates to the site. Those of you reading by RSS through Google Reader may want to pay attention to at least one of these updates.

For the past few months, Google Reader has been refusing to show the full text of articles in the RSS feed. To solve that annoyance, I’ve changed the feed address. The old one will still work, but it won’t show the full text. To view the full text, you’ll want to unsubscribe from our site and re-subscribe to the new address http://feeds.feedburner.com/MinorThoughts.
You know how some sites have that cool feature that lets you get notified by email when a new comment is added to a post that you commented on? Now we have that too. We also added threaded comments a little bit ago, so our comments are now twice as snazzy as they were at this time last year.
And, by popular request (all one of them), we’ve added the name of the post’s author to the top of the post. Now you can know what to expect before you start reading the article. True, this does ruin the element of surprise. But it might help you avoid mental whiplash when I finally come out of hiding and post something new.

Now, in case I don’t see you, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Good Night!

Been Busy Lately

Joe Martin — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 16:32:41 +0000

I see it’s been a while since I last posted. There are good reasons for that. My wife and I recently decided to buy a house and have spent a lot of time looking at houses and condos all around Madison. I’ve also had to finish some big projects at work and have put in an average of 50 hours a week over the past two weeks.

Jenna’s last entry in the Intra Madison Immigration Debate was posted on June 9. That means I’m almost a month late responding. Yikes!

Sorry, Jenna. I do have a response, but it’s not written yet. I’ll do my best to post a response by the end of this weekend, but no promises. Things have been crazy lately. It looks like life is finally slowing down again, but I’ve been mistaken before…

Light Blogging

I didn’t post anything yesterday. I probably won’t post anything today. I have several good essays in the hopper, but work commitments and personal commitments have kept me from being able to finish them. Stick around, there’s definitely more to come.

New Theme

We’re now using the veryplaintxt theme by Scott. We think it gives the site a simpler, cleaner look. What do you think?

NeoLibertarian Network

I’ve petitioned the Neolibertarian Network to add our new blog to the list. I’ve also blogrolled, for the first time, everyone else in the Neolibertarian Network. Thanks go to fellow member Josh Poulson for the code that keeps that part of the blogroll up to date. While you’re over at his site, check out his puns. They’re quite funny and I’m hoping to see more online soon.
