Man Bites Blog

Finally did some much needed maintenance on the template, getting rid of the awful yellow background that pops up some places, fixing the comment links in the single post pages, cleaning up the category tags, and fixing up the header.

Enjoy..

While I’m here with nothing in particular to say, I’ll mention that I’ve been listening to my station on Pandora while doing this, and it has really gotten good. But then, my musical tastes are about as boring and mainstream as they get, so YMMV.

WordPress seems to like to occasionally put some stray characters at the end of my posts.  When I figure it out and get rid of them, it flushes all my posts to the feed.  I’m not trying to elbow others out.

I finally figured out how to get rid of that annoying indent that was in the title and paragraphs in my posts. I’m still futzing with the format a bit — I’m not happy with the blog title format, for example, but things should be a little more stable.

With beta, we’ve got labels for posts. Applying labels is a bit of an arduous process, but I think I’ve figured out some ways to make it less so I’ll try to catalog the posts with labels from time to time.

I’ll probably also throw up a blog roll. It’s interesting how that develops. The old standbys — Sullivan, InstaPundit, Amy Welborn, etc. are no longer daily reads. But others have taken there place for me. I wonder if my experience is typical. It seems that after a while, you know what these folks think, and there’s no point in seeing what their take is on the latest news, since you can probably guess it. But some, like Kaus, Mark Shea, and Bill Simmons remain interesting to me.

I also post some stuff over at WikiFray, which is a group blog. I’m still not entirely sure how I’ll split what I post here, there, or in both places. Inside-baseball Catholic stuff will probably remain here, and general audience stuff will probably go over there.
