Blog reformating and conversion completed!

The blog has now been (finally) converted to the new blogger format! New features and functionality added:

  • List of Labels (aka Tags) are now posted in the blog, towards the bottom of the left column
  • You can now automatically see a list of all the posts made in the current month under Blog Archives in the left column.
  • Easier to find Contact Information (contact via email) in the left column.
  • Poll questions can now be added on the fly in the left collumn!
  • A newsfeed from Google on college basketball has been added in the left column
  • The book and magazine pictures that were oozing from the bottom of the left column have now been herded and are in a post of their own. This cleans up the look and speeds up loading a little bit.
  • Each post now has a link in its title name. This makes it easier for people to open individual posts or cut/paste the urls and post them on their blog/site/forum :-) (hint, hint!)
  • In the next few days I will organize the College Basketball Links better, breaking them down by topic. Right now they are a long winded list. If your blog or website, or your favorite blog/website are not listed, please let me know via comment or via email!
  • More refinements will be made in the next few days. But this was the big conversion, so I'm glad it's over :-) If you have any comments, feedback, etc, please let me know!
  • The weekly rewind post will be made on Sunday.

    Speaking of reformatting, I also reformatted/converted Recruiting Wars to the new blogger format. Because of the style and content of that blog I was able to use a new slick willy template

    Thanks! The new blogger template makes it so much easier to sort the format out.

    Awesome job! The new design is way less cluttered than before.

    Personally, I'm fine with cluttered, but I'm also fine with clean.

    Thanks! Indeed, thanks to the new blogger, it's easier to give it a cleaner look! No more pictures and text oozing from the left column.

    But I'm sure it's gonna get messier over time :-)
