Just a quick post to mention several changes I’ve made to this blog overnight. I’ve added a link to a tag cloud in the sidebar. I’ve also added new custom icons in the sidebar for “RSS Subscribe” and “Email Subscribe.” The “Email Subscribe” button’s link replaces the link to an external service, Bloglet, with a way for you to get updates on new posts via email directly. It’s a much nicer service, I think. You can register as a subscriber to Family Man Librarian and with that capability comes several options, e.g. to choose to receive email updates in plain text or HTML. Then I added a new custom icon in the sidebar for “Email Me” so that if you want to contact me directly, you can click on this icon and fill out a web form to send me an email.

Let’s see…What else? Well, I’ve also added a link to my tag cloud in the sidebar, and also added a new section in the sidebar for “Most Popular Posts.” You will also see changes in the content of each post. I’ve added a “Related Posts” portion to the bottom. I’ve also stripped out the categories that used to appear at the top of each post, as well as the list of technorati tags at the bottom of each post, mainly for aesthetic reasons (they just made things too cluttered.)

I think the tag cloud link is particularly cool, as is the ability now to see the most popular posts.
