Website Updates

As per the slogan to this website…we are raising the bar again! Lets call this release Beta 2. This site now features the following improvements:

  • I have implemented a new theme that should make the posts much easier to read. The Cutline theme is absolutely awesome. Chris Pearson has done a great job. Some things I really like about this theme:
    • The layout is very clean.
    • The theme is super easy to customize.
    • Clickable “Tags” are listed at the bottom of the post, making it easier to sort through things and see related content.
    • Image controls allow you to add borders to images, making them look more professional.
  • The Subscribe to Comments feature allows you to leave a comment for a post AND choose to be notified by email when anyone else replies to your comment! Very handy. Just leave a comment to see the “subscribe” option. Click it and you are good to go.
  • The Notable Social Networking add-in allows you to add any post to one of several different media, including Digg or Yahoo.
  • I am now using Post Slugs & Pretty Permalinks. Basically, this means that the direct links to my posts will not be a series of numbers, but a friendly name. So the link to this post will be www.sethigherstandards.com\pimpin-a-website instead of www.sethigherstandards.com\109. This will help search engines index the posts.
  • I added Google Adsense. Frankly, I only have about 5 people who ready this blog with any regularity, but I was am curious about how it works, so I am doing it as a learning experience more than anything else.
