As you might have already noticed, my blog has received something of a digital makeover to clean up its begrimed facade. Just to make myself feel better about the Friday afternoon I spent fixing things on my website, I am going to dedicate a full post to listing what I did:

• Updated to the newest version of Wordpress


• Installed a new theme.


• Designed a new header (admit it…the envelope looks cool)


• Relocated the picture galleries to Picasa web albums (can’t beat 1 GB of free storage…no more resizing!),


• Installed a slew of plugins, most importantly an anti-spam plugin . Comment and trackback spam was driving me crazy. Now only spammers who are proficient in math will be able to spam me.


• ...next up is a moblog plugin so that I can post short entries from my cellphone while traveling (yes, I still have a cellphone).

This is weird, but now my website feels much cleaner than my room.
