RSS feed. Granted your site is all hand done, but I *think* there are sites that will create rss for you if you just enter the text. Or you could even hand make one. I justed edited the linuxfourms rss feed. Just add the item section each time. It would be a 1 min job.
Code:
<rss version="0.91">

I dont know if this is something you'd like to have a go at, but it's been an idea at the back of my mind for a while. Take one of the MS Frontpage auto designs, and pinch the lot, then change it to be useable. You can take the mickey out of the original design parodying it. If you get it right, it could be quite amusing.

I've picked Truly Simple and I'm running with it. I'm not sure when exactly you can expect the face lift, but it should be no later than Friday of next week. I'm accompanying my girlfriend to a convention and I'll have a lot of time on my hands while she goes to the various seminars.

It's not a simple change, but I think it will look nice when it's done. I'm debating whether or not to update all the previous comics though (there's about 60 of them all together). We'll see how bored I am.

I've pretty much decided to leave the comic archives the way they are, minus the previous black background and navigation. That means they're very plain, but they serve their purpose and I'm just not in the mood to run through every single page and tweak it.

I'm making progress today since it's slow here at work and I've managed to convert all my OS rants up to the P's. The thing that's taking the most time is breaking up my paragraphs since the new layout is skinnier.

Once I get this major conversion done I'll look into starting an RSS feed. That's an interesting idea, and I know a few folks right off the top of my head that would find it convenient. I have a fan in Austin that has to constantly check each week to see if I've added anything new.
