Cogs can think.

In light of yesterday’s post, I did some, for my standards, heavy tweaking on Cogs Can Think. tonight.

Firstly, I cleaned out the sidebar, and removed any unnecessary fluff. The contact information image is now linked to in the “About…” section. I removed the logo of and link to Pix’d, as that project is not yet finished at all - the page remains up, though. Overall, this gives the sidebar a much cleaner appearance.

In addition, you’ll notice a new feature. Yes, Cogs Can Think. has gotten a feature. Blatantly copied from Adam and Dooce, I’ve added a little ‘link blog’ to the sidebar (imaginatively called ‘Cogs…’). I played with the idea of creating a special page for it, but decided against it as I want my blog to fit on one, single page; it’s a nice way of keeping CCT. focused and organised (no, the FAQ doesn’t count, as you only have to read that once - supposedly, that is).

The structure of each Cog will be the same: “date: link - text blurb (via).” Please note that I’ll be doing this all by manually adding the code to the front page - I do it this way because I) I’m a total idiot when it comes to html and II) this way I am sure it all looks exactly the way I want it to. I’ll max it out at four or five entries (I’ll have to see what looks best); older items will be lost forever (yeah, I’m cold and harsh). I will be keeping a personal back up in a .txt file though, for personal reference.

That’s about it. Suggestions always welcome. Sort of.
