Apparently I think in almost-alphabetical order, since I just spent a while trying to figure out how to reorder the links in the "Categories" section of the main page's sidebar. For those who are interested, the ordering is set with the

: ${CATLINKS_FILTERCMD:=sort}

line in the weblog_links.sh plugin. Having found out that it's just alphebetical order, I'm fine with it. I just assumed it was locking in the unorganized timeline of me thinking up tags or something silly like that.

In the spirit of tagging, you can turn on category-specific feeds in your blog.conf file with

CATEGORY_FEEDS="1"
ATOM_CATFEEDS="1"
RSS2_CATFEEDS="1"
RSS_CATFEEDS="1"

or some variation on that theme. Funfunfun.

Note to self: add links by manually editing

$BLOGDIR/templates/main_links.htm

I'm feeling overwhelmed with the volume of unfolding theory out there, so I thought I'd take a break and rename my blog from the über-creative "Trevor's blog" to the slightly-less-boring and equally accurate "unfolding disasters" (Heh, ü is the oh-so-obvious AltGr Shift \ by default :p).

Adding my bit of noise to the global cacophony (and yes, I had to double check the spelling).

My fiancee suggested that I find a way to accept comments on the blog. After looking around at a number of available packages, I feel like setting up something that I'm comfortable with would take more effort than I'm willing to spend here. If you would like to make a comment, email me.

It's probably illegal to blog without being able to use Atom/RSS feeds. I've just started, but snownews is a widely prepackaged text-mode RSS reader. Another text-mode program to add to my GUI-screwing toolbox (mutt, w3m, ...). Hey, X-servers don't grow on trees (or other people's M$ Windows boxes).

I'll be using (at least for now) John Gruber's Markdown syntax. I had to apt-get install markdown to get this to work, since that's what nanoblogger uses to preform the markdown markup :p. See

/usr/share/nanoblogger/plugins/entry/format/markdown.sh

Code (delimited with backticks '`'), gets formatted with <code> tags, so you need to set up your CSS with

code {font: monospace; font-weight: bold};

or something to that effect.

I thought I'd test out the nanoblogger engine. How can I resist a blog engine called nb?

Oh, I suppose I should also link back to my homepage, in case anyone is interested :p.
