I’ve been making a few subtle changes to the site.

1. More categories! For the first time ever, the “uncategorized” category is empty. This should help readers find old posts easier. I still need to go back and see which posts now fit under some of the new categories I’ve added. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than it was.

2. Ad Free! Aren’t corporate ads on websites obnoxious? Every now and then, I get an email from some ad agency offering to buy up space on my site. The graphic/link on my side bar is your indication that I am ideologically opposed to ads on my blog. Many of the new blog templates out there have huge blank spaces for corporate ads, and I think they detract from the real commentary and devalue the medium as a whole. For example, Grist, the “environmental news and commentary” blog, currently whores out space for google, Microsoft, Caterpiller, and Fat Tire Beer. Sorry, I have strong views and they’re not for sale. I keep the link at the very bottom of my site to plug the folks who designed the original template for this site (even though I’ve made some dramatic changes to their template).

3. I’m currently organizing a separate page of links. I’ll keep the AZ links on my page, but as for the rest of them, I’m greatly expanding with links to many many more blogs — spanning politics, environmentalism, feminism, education, and media resources. Please email me with links you think readers would find useful.
