In an effort to increase the amount of ideas and information I post to this space, I’ve recently begun re-arranging and re-designing it. Here is a brief list of what I’ve started to do, and what still needs doing.

• Added a “Feeds” section, with various methods for syndication of content from here and elsewhere.
• Edited the “About” page to reflect more strongly on the content and the organization of the site, rather than just a blurb about me.
• Re-arranged the home page, and added a new category. Hopefully this will let the most important and most updated material be displayed up front.
• Begun a visual redesign, a saga that shall continue…

That’s the most of it. Here’s a brief To-Do list:

• move some of the older, static content onto my root /~jhenry/ page, such as often used uvm resources, a link to my calendar, the uvm blogroll, etc.
• Continue the visual design saga … I’d like to make the three sections on the home page be more well defined, visually. The banner also needs a little help.
• Update the about page to have a list of plugins and tools used, such as wordpress 2.0, the k2 theme, etc.
• Define a regular posting schedule, to keep the drafts from outnumbering the material on the home page

During this process, the realization set in that such a redesign will never cease, and I’m going to end up continuously reshuffling and tweaking, with the occasional rebuild. I think this is a Good Thing, as it forces me to think about how I present, store, and choose the information that I put here.
