I put a new coat of paint on the blog today. The old blog design was getting a little long in the tooth, and I’ve been wanting to redo it for a while. I had a dream of putting it off until the ideal personal identity platform was available, but I’ve resigned myself to sticking with Typepad for the next 3 years or so. So I spent a few hours this weekend spiffing it up and adding some things I’ve wanted for a while like Lijit integration for search and Disqus integration for comments.
I also decided to refocus the site a bit. This blog has always been about whatever I feel like writing about, but the focus has shifted over time from startup-related content to commentary on bleeding edge Internet technology. It may shift back at some point, but for the time being I think it’s probably more helpful to people who find me on Google if the title reflects what I’m currently writing about.
I’ve had OpenID integration on the site for a while, which I really love. I can just use www.jasonkolb.com on many sites around the Web as my universal username, and it’s a breeze to use. Next I need to get my FOAF graph updated, unfortunately Typepad doesn’t make that easy to do. Maybe next weekend.
So what do you think of the site? I’ve tried to clean it up a little and make it easier to look at, let me know if you think I’ve succeeded.
