I’ll continue posting during the holidays, albeit less often than usual.

As the last few days of this decade grow nigh, I’d like to wish each and everyone happy holidays. I’ll be posting some select entries during the next couple of weeks; expect the site to return to full speed after New Year’s.

P.S. Don’t forget to bring the spirit of twentynot2000 into 2011.

One change that has already been made is the addition of a shortlink (⌘.ws) on each single post page, which gives you a shorter permanent link to any post.

Revamping the site’s search feature with relevance-based ranking and support for boolean search operators is a larger undertaking; expect this feature within the next few weeks.

As always, look at the text file located at www.maxpagels.com/shortcodes.txt for all available shortcodes.

Find content on the site via date, category or tag.

I’ll be changing some more stuff in the upcoming weeks, but as of now, the markup of maxpagels.com validates as HTML5. Special thanks to the people behind Modernizr for creating a fantastic JavaScript library – it’s painless to style HTML5 elements in IE using it.

I’ll be posting new content on the site during the holidays, but at a quieter pace than usual.

I’m working on a new layout and hope to have it online in the next few weeks.

It might be used for something for useful in the future, but for now ⌘mp.ws just redirects to maxpagels.com.

Clarification: the ⌘ symbol means “place of interest” and this is why it was chosen. Apple fans will also recognize it as the symbol on the command key.

]]> http://www.maxpagels.com/2009/11/28/mp-ws/feed/ 0 Site update http://www.maxpagels.com/2009/10/14/site-update/ http://www.maxpagels.com/2009/10/14/site-update/#comments Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:30:12 +0000 Max Pagels http://www.maxpagels.com/?p=537 I’m making a few small changes to the way posts on maxpagels.com are presented, hopefully making it easier to navigate the site and find the content you’re interested in. From now on, all posts published on the site will have their own title, and clicking a post’s title will behave in one of two ways depending on what type of post it is:

  • Original posts that I write will have titles that are permanent links to the post in question. Simply put, these types of posts will behave just like they do on almost any other blog.
  • Posts that are essentially links to interesting sites, articles etc. will have titles that link straight to the source. These posts do however also have their own permanent links, just click on the hash sign (it’s in the post footer, right after the date of the post)

I hope to have the aforementioned changes implemented fully in the next couple of days. This should also fix the issue where posts in the site’s RSS feed didn’t have a title.
