A Few More Site Changes

July 24th, 2007

I’ve made a few more changes to the site today.

First, you may have noticed that I’ve placed the full article on the front page rather than just an excerpt. Although my articles are usually long, I’ve heard that some people prefer to have everything on one page. Also, doing it this way allows my RSS feeds to be full, rather than partial. For now, the 5 most recently published full articles will appear on the front page. Let me know if you like this change.

While I’ve had them from the start on individual pages, I also have added the post rating and social bookmarking icons to the front page as well. If you enjoyed an article, please leave a rating for it. If you didn’t, please don’t, just kidding, but if you didn’t like an article or saw a problem with it please leave me a comment as well.

And finally, a note on one of my sponsors, Auction Ads. They’re a new service that plugs into eBay and shows items that are currently up for sale. On my pages, I picked “Visual Basic” as the keyword so that you should, in theory, see a list of auctions for VB related items. I know a lot of people look for old copies of VB6 and earlier and hopefully these ads will give you a heads up on them. Unfortunately, Auction Ads is having growing pains so you may see purses, iPods and the infamous Legos and teddy bears instead unless you refresh the page. Hopefully they’ll get this cleared up soon.

As always, I appreciate any suggestions or questions you might have so feel free to leave me a comment.
