Yes, so I’ve finally finished up the redesign of my blog. I’ve meant for the blog to be more concise, have a lot more functionality and a lot more readability. Some of the features include:
- Facebook Single Sign-on Connect – Added a new Facebook Connect feature to my personal blog on VaughnBullard.Com that allows users to authenticate with Facebook so I don’t have to maintain a separate user database. I like this feature as it saves me major time and effort and allows users to seamlessly go from their Facebook accounts to VaughnBullard.Com to make comments, like certain pages and posts, etc.
- Facebook Like – Now go to a post and click ‘Like’ and it will be reflected on your Facebook wall.
- Clean Design – I have settled on an open source, very clean theme design called HANAMI BY MIGNOLO . I think it is tranquil and clean looking.
- Focused Content – While I will occasionally post entries on technical content, the content will be more focused on things I like, enjoy writing about and have a passion for in real life and in the virtual world. I will still keep the old posts from 5 years + back there but it will be less of a professional blog than a personal one.
- New Categories – I’ve created new categories to reflect the more focused content. These categories include: funny stuff, music, organization, process improvement, restructure, technical (where most of the old posts are), The Forgora (my latest business venture), travel and Zen.
- Content Tagging – I’ve been tagging like mad, man! I currently have over 400+ tags to create a really nice semantic taxonomy of content subjects.
