Thoughts.

Just a couple notes on some housekeeping I did around here (if I can’t play ultimate proper, I’ll at least play with my ultimate-related blog):

• Swapped out the BananaCut widget for a simple RSS feed. Had gotten complaints a while back that the widget caused slowdown; this is a simple solution (though it maxes out at five articles).
• UPDATE:Just added a link at the top of the sidebar to all the “Overview” linking I did in December. Should hopefully be obvious to any newcomers and make the site a bit more accessible as a resource.
• Changed my “More Thoughts” links on the main blog page from a java-based insertion on the page to a simple link to the post page. Yes, this is an effort to increase the number of page views I get. No, I’m not planning to host ads on this site (by the way, did you know firefox with adblock plus will get rid of any and all ads on the internet?). It’s because…
• I’m looking for more feedback from you. Trying to get data on page views for a per-article basis (previously I’d only see what articles were being linked to by other people, not so much what you’re reading) is a simple way to do it; the other you’ll see below every post I make.

  If you read a post and think, “I want Mackey to write more on this topic,” click the corresponding radio button at the bottom of the post. If you think “I don’t really care to hear Mackey write about this,” click the other one. Quick, anonymous, easy? It’d be cool if you RSS folk would click through and click a button too if something really tickles your fancy.

  Originally wanted to add more options but iframes apparently don’t play nice with blogger (even though it’s their tool!) so we’re keeping it simple for now. Anyone with programming expertise that might care to chime in here, feel free.

And of course, leave comments! I’m always open to e-mail. I’ve gotten a few suggestions to tackle the zone question, and that’s been stewing for a while…would love to hear any other ideas, too.
