Website Updates

by | Tue 30 Dec 2008

Today I flipped the switch on some changes I have made over the Christmas holiday to [jonobacon.com](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/). Hopefully these changes should make using the site much nicer. 🙂

A few notes:

* I have installed a new theme. I still have some small CSS tweaks to make here and there, so do let me know what you feel needs to be adjusted to make the site easier to read.
* The site now supports [gravatars](https://www.gravatar.com). Go and set up a gravatar so you can share your hotness with the world.
* You can now get email updates for posts by using the Feedburner link in the top right-hand corner of the page.
* The middle pane of the site will pull out the most recent longer articles and essays so they stick around a little longer on the front page.
* Search results are much nicer.
* I am now using more friendly permalinks.
* I will be refreshing some of the old content over the coming weeks when I can find some time.
* Threaded comment support is on the way and will be implemented soon.

Of course, there will be some bugs over the next few weeks. Do let me know if anything seems amiss. Thanks folks.

**UPDATE**: Threaded comments now work. 🙂
