Sidebar improvements

You may have noticed that the sidebar on this blog now contains things that are slightly less ignorable than before. If you’re reading the rss feed, then you probably haven’t noticed, but they’re just few more feeds to read. Gutsy includes wordpress 2.2.2 (dismissed as coincidence), so I am now able to take advantage of the rss sidebar widget. For some reason, wordpress couldn’t properly read the raw rss feeds, but it can read them when run through feedburner.

The first is from my twitter account. I don’t think I’m using it in the officially sanctioned way, but I like posting one-line thoughts or questions that don’t warrant a whole blog post. It’s nice that I can text them in from my phone as well.

The second two are from my photo gallery, specifically random phone pictures and photos from concerts. I’ve gotten into the habit of taking at least one picture of every band I see, so I can remember who I saw and when I saw them. It’s also nice having a camera on my phone, so I always have it handy to snap a picture of a funny sign or situation. I’d like the pictures to actually show up in the sidebar, but that will take some more tinkering.
