More blog changes

You know how some people seem to enjoy periodically rearranging furniture in their homes? (Jeff, one of my older brothers, used to do this a lot with his bedroom. My brother Dan and I shared a room at the time, and we even let him rearrange ours once in a while just for the fun of it.) Well, I seem to do the same thing with this blog every once in a while. Here are the latest changes:

  • Added an About page (this used to be a sidebar widget)
  • Added a Contact page (this also used to be a sidebar widget) that includes an email form and now a Meebo Me widget as well
  • Added a more prominent link to my photos
  • Added a Publications page

The Publications page is the biggest change. I decided that it might be a good idea to track down everything I’ve had a hand in publishing and maintain it in Zotero. Once I did that, I thought, Why not just present it on a page in WordPress? Then once I did that, I thought, Hey, here’s a great way to use COinS! So I have COinS-ized that page. The list of my publications is a lot longer than I thought and looks a bit more impressive than it really should. It actually includes writeups of several NASIG presentations I gave plus some short pathfinders I compiled while a grad student in the Latin American library at UIUC. That was a long time ago!

    A few pubs are still missing COinS. Is that intentional?

    Rick, yeah, that’s intentional. I tried adding COinS for some of the books in the list and couldn’t get them to resolve properly, so I decided to just leave those entries without COinS.

    Thanks. It might still be worth adding–other OpenURL resolvers may successfully parse them & one might be able to import them into Zotero.
