As I mentioned before, part of the reason I wanted to move Tombrarian to my own hosted site was to learn more about the inner workings of blogging and web design, so I do want to chronicle the changes I make along the way.
A few things I have done since moving Tombrarian:
- Added the plugin FeedBurner Feed Stats. This only appears on the administrative side. I use the WordPress.com Stats plugin for Being and Formulating, but decided to try this plugin for Tombrarian since I’m using FeedBurner to get more thorough statistics.
- Changed the permalink format to include date and post title.
- Removed the yourminis widgets from the home page and added html code from FeedBurner. I want something on the homepage to show the latest posts from my two blogs. The yourminis widget was fine, but since I’m using FeedBurner, I decided to use code instead. Plus, I can have more control of the look so that they seem more a part of the site.
Before: yourminis widget
After: FeedBurner links
