Critical updates
I spent most of the day Sunday neck-deep in code and stuff like this, trying to make you a new and improved Critical Miami. I mostly got done the more “coding” type stuff, and left the sorting/data decisions for another time, because I can officially only use one half of my brain per day, and I need to do this geek-out stuff during my rare forages into sobriety. Anyway, here’s a summary:
- Date archives are fixed. So when you click “January 2007” in the sidebar under “Archives by date,” you get all the articles from that month on one page. This is what I always wanted those links to do, and now it works. Hooray!
- “Related articles.” Individual article pages now show a list of links to articles with similar tags. I want to refine this some more — it’s for people who land on a permalink to a specific article, to help them find similarly interesting content. Not sure it’s there yet.
- Random articles. This is a link that currently lives right below the tag cloud. Shows 30 completely random articles from the archives. Kind of fun.
- Speaking of tags, I’ve cleaned them up a little, and added a little functionality. Props once again to Nathan Arthur, who’s plugin makes CM’s tag engine go. The big job of tagging all the old articles remains.
- Number of users currently online displayed in the sidebar. Silly, and probably very temporary.
- Aforementioned satellite feed in the sidebar.
- And just so you don’t think we’re slouching around here, May had 274,945 page views from 54,522 distinct hosts. Click the graph above for larger view.
- Alas, no blogroll yet. Hopefully next weekend.
