This blog is a year, a month, and a few days old and for most of its life it's had a pretty ugly design. I've learned a lot about tweaking blog templates over the last year. And most importantly, I've realized I'm not very good at designing things from scratch. Fortunately, I was able to find an awesome blog design that I could work with. After a bit of snipping, cutting, pasting, sweating, sleeping, waking in the middle of the night with new ideas, and tweaking some more, I'm happy to unveil the new design for BradLinder.net.
I actually did most of the hard work a few days ago when I launched Liliputing, my new site dedicated to mobile computing. This site's new design is lifted directly from Liliputing's, but I still spent a few hours trying to make sure everything came out right. If you notice any rough edges, please let me know. And if you're interested in low-cost, ultramobile computers, please subscribe to Liliputing. You can also find the latest Liliputing headlines on this site, but the articles are so much prettier with pictures.
I've realized that this blog has become a bit of a mish mosh of news about digital audio recorders, podcasting, radio, and the Eee PC. One of these things is not (much) like the others, so I've decided to launch a spinoff site: Eee Site.
I'm not sure if I have the energy to update two sites in addition to my daily blogging routine over at Download Squad, Green Daily, TV Squad. Oh yeah, and I still manage to squeeze some time in for radio occasionally.
So for now, Eee Site contains mirrors of most of the articles I've written about the Eee PC. My goal is to continue publishing future articles about Eee news and tips over at Eee site. When those articles are related to blogging, audio production, and/or journalism I may mirror the posts on this site as well. It's all still an experiment and a work in progress. I may dump the whole thing and just keep publishing all of my non Weblogs Inc posts on this site.
But if you've only been reading this site for Eee news and couldn't care less about digital audio recorders, you might want to check out Eee Site.
Just a quick note. If you find the information on this blog useful, here are a few ways to support the site.
First up, if you're planning on doing some quick online shopping, please consider using the Amazon search box in the column to the right of this post. I'll get a tiny commission on any purchases you make, while you'll pay regular price.
Also, if you've got a few pennies burning a hole in your pocket, you can leave a tip via PayPal. Just find the PayPal Donate button toward the bottom of the middle column. Every little bit helps. Or if you don't feel like searching the page, you can just click the links below.
After spending way too much time tweaking my template, this web page should now be as easy to read on the Eee PC's 800 x 480 pixel screen as it is on your big ole desktop PC.
If you're using a device with an even smaller screen, like a cellphone or PDA, check out the new "mobile version" link in the top left corner. It will take you to a stripped down version of this site optimized for small-screen reading.
