Four Years of the Haggis
Welcome everyone to the brand new redesign of The Daily Haggis.
Why another redesign? For the Fourth anniversary of this little weblog, of course!
The change is to reflect the retooling of the content and topic of the website itself. The site is now much quicker loading, uses entirely CSS website design, and utilizes a number of new tools to add more maneuverability between current and past articles.
Here’s a few of the changes:
- Old Skool Meets New - The new design is built around the past incarnations of the website, going all the way back to the beginning. The new logo and graphics represent this. The new template is also Web 2.0 based, which means clean look and interactivity.
- Category Icons - Hurray! For those loyal readers that have been lurking since the early days, you will notice the re-appearance of the category icons, much like the original version of The Daily Haggis used. Click on any of the icons at the bottom of the articles to see more.
- del.icio.us bookmarks - For use with the popular social bookmarking site, use this to add specific articles to your del.icio.us bookmark collection!
- Subscribe to comments - This is one of my favorite new features. For those of you that like to keep up with the discussion after you have left a comment on an article, you can now have the site email you whenever a response has been posted. Includes a built-in content management panel for quick subscribing and unsubscribing of past topics.
- Subscribe via Email - You can now get updates to the site via email, via the Feedburner service. It will email you a digest of the entries on a daily or weekly basis, with many options.
Plus several other under-the-hood updates and tweaks, and more coming over the next few weeks. Stay tuned over the next few days for a little journey back in time with The Daily Haggis in pictures, as well as some special features I have planned.
