I’m simplifying and cleaning up my sites for the new year. I’m not quite finished weeding this online garden, but things are a lot more tidy than last week. I’m particularly happy with the way the Stocks & Flows page is turning out. My home page is less cluttered but still suffers aesthetically.
Who’s got a site worth stealing ideas from? What are your “Oh, wow” favorites?
I’m experimenting with WordPress plugins this morning. Chris Brogan recommends these:
“ShareThis” was a cinch to install. In the plugins panel, search for it and install. The little tags that let readers forward posts to Facebook, Twitter, eMail, etc., automatically appear on every page now.
“Yet another related post” selects and displays related posts. You can tweak the selection algorithms. I made a minor tweak to the way the list is displayed.
Since mobile is increasingly the way of the world, I’m alos going to try WPtouch.
