Glad you like the changes. Subtle, but I’m working my way towards not only simplifying the templates, but reaching a level of usability where I’m satisfied. Once this happens, I’ll redesign, and hopefully only have to touch the stylesheet—atleast that’s the idea.

Actually there were several. Some of the more grave mistakes were:

consciuosly & photograpy, other mistakes were “highschool” in one word, greek and swedish that should’ve been capitalized, and persistance and existance that should’ve been with e instead of a.

Did I find your typo?;)

there is one spelling error. you have 1 hour to find it. go!

I worked on it all morning, and so my entire RSS feed has been pretending to be updated all day—for you with active feed readers that have constantly been blinking “Noscope updated”, I sincerely apologize. I’ll leave it as it is now, for a long time, though.

It annoys me a bit that I had to kinda hack Wordpress to do it properly. There is a setting in the option section of the admin interface that allows you to set number of entries to show in the RSS. The problem is, that if I sort away sidenotes, they still count towards the total maximum.

The solution in my case here, was to code a variable it counted towards, and break when reached—and simply set the “Show the most recent [x]” number of entries in my RSS to a very high number.

Ack. There’s gotta be a better way.

However, the colophon on this site is commonly accessed when clicking my name on the front page. Thus, the actual URL and / or title is less important. Furthermore, “about” could be “about anything”, and I wanted my about section to be about the entire site, both Installments section and Journal section. Thus, colophon—”publishers imprint”, seemed to cover it better than “about”.

The biggest usability problem, as I see it, is not the use of a technocratic word in the URL, rather that I am now linking to the same page with two differently entitled links—my name on the frontpage, and “colophon” in the navigation. Ideally there would be only one link title for links to this section. This problem would have been the same with “about”, though, albeit easier to work with.

Arh, all in all I chose to go with colophon because I like the word. As Dale Cooper of Twin Peaks would say: “Harry, every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, just let it happen”. :)

I’ll bring back a version that works without sidenotes, and hopefully better than the last one worked. I’ll put it on the to-do list, and fix it asap.
