Welcome to the new blog!

Yup, it’s about that time again, isn’t it?

I’ve redone (ie, re-coded) my blog again. Nothing major cosmetic this time, other than a new skin to match the other sections of my site. The real benefit comes in the simplicity of coding and the function-based aspects of it. It’s much easier to understand the code now, and it’s much easier to update when I want to add more functionality. Why is this important? Well, this time I’m actually going to release the source code – sometime. But I will. It’s all set except for some usability changes I have to drum up.

The new features in this version of the blog (4.0, I think) include…

  • categories and modules for each skin, making each more customizable
  • easier skin creation
  • more flexibility for other functions (pinging weblogs.com, updating the blog section of justinrussell.com, etc.)
  • easier module creation
  • and more great things down the road

So enjoy, and we’ll see how it goes!
