FEEDING ME, FEEDING YOU

I've added a few widgets to this blog recently, worth a look if you're so inclined.  Down the left column is my own regularly updated del.icio.us feed, "What I'm Writing and Reading Elsewhere", featuring virtual world/game industry stories I've written for GigaOM and other sites, and articles on those topics which catch my interest.  Down along the right column are live RSS feeds from various SL sites and blogs, including NWN contributors like Rik Riel and Tateru Nino, SL group blogs and periodicals, and more.  (There's also an RSS feed of general media stories on Second Life.)  Basically, if it's an SL-related site or page that can be RSS-ed, I'll add it there.  (And if you don't see your blog or website among them, make sure you have RSS settings flipped on, and let me know.)

These feeds are powered by Google's RSS reader-- and more importantly, by the generous brain of Aster Lardner, the Resident who recommended the idea, and then went above and beyond to explain how to implement them.  (Going so far as to shoot a how-to demo video for me.)   When he's not assisting befuddled bloggers, Aster creates lovely dreamscapes, and other in-world wonders.  My thanks to Aster Lardner for feeding us all.

Umm..... Hamlet, you might want to consider re-organising your sidebar.

At a resolution of 1152 by 864 with Firefox, I have to go 15 pages down to get to your reading/writing list.

Take a look at what I see when I visit your blog.

In addition to seeing how much text you have in your sidebar, you'll notice that the right sidebar is almost completely empty.

Hmm, weird-- I just checked it out in Firefox 1152x864, and looks fine to me. Try refreshing.

It's probably something to do with the NoScript extension for Firefox I have installed.

There's about 6 or 7 different domains trying to load javascript, so the widgets in question is probably being loaded from a domain other than blogs.com

Whereas if you were using WordPress, All Your Javascript Are Belong To Root :-P

I'm not the only one who has a problem with the big-ass leftie though. Do you really need to have the link to November 2006 AND a large chunk of what's in you're archive page ?
