The site search is now the top item so it&#8217;s as easy to find as possible. Next are the archive listings (soon to be revamped, I just didn&#8217;t want to tackle that project tonight), as they&#8217;d be the next likely target for someone looking for something I wrote in the past.<\/p>\n<p>The next four sections are the Recent Comments (last 5 comments posted to the site), Recently Seen (my last 5 movie reviews), Recently Read (my last 5 books read &#8212; this is still in the process of being resurrected, more below), and Recent Tunes (the last 10 tracks played by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/itunes\/\" title=\"iTunes\">iTunes<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Outbound links follow (can&#8217;t be too eager to send people away from my site, can I?) &#8212; first my photoblog, then my blogroll, web rings, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogsnob.com\/\" title=\"BlogSnob\">BlogSnob<\/a> ad. Lastly, my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/o\/registry\/1P4IU0ESEJFTS\" title=\"My Amazon Wishlist\">Amazon wishlist<\/a>, RSS feeds, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.movabletype.org\/\" title=\"MovableType\">MovableType<\/a> banner.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve removed the Amazon Honor System paybox. In the six months or so I&#8217;ve had it up, I haven&#8217;t gotten any donations, so I figured I&#8217;d bow to the inevitable and remove it from my page. It was worth trying, right?<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Recently Read&#8221; section is a resurrection of a feature I had a while ago, and have wanted to get working again. While <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2002\/05\/a_few_new_site_.html\" title=\"A few new site bits\">previously<\/a> I had been using a seperate blog and incorporating it into my page via SSI, now I&#8217;ve just set it up as a category within The Long Letter &#8212; much easier to keep track of this way. At the moment, there&#8217;s only one entry here &#8212; from when I read <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2002\/04\/the_lord_of_the.html\" title=\"Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien\">Lord of the Rings<\/a> back in April &#8212; but the rest of the old entries will be added soon, and new ones will appear as I devour more books. I&#8217;ve also added a category for movie reviews, seperate from my more generic &#8220;Moviebits&#8221; category, and moved all my old reviews into it. As with the books, more will come as it comes.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for tonight. Next week&#8217;s project: revamping the Archives into something a little more useable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Site adjustments: sidebar reorganization, and bringing back the book reviews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2040],"tags":[25],"class_list":["post-841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-website"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
