I’m continuing to make incremental changes to the structure, layout, and style of this blog. It is my intent that these are improvements to the usability of the blog.

Today I changed the style and layout of the banner to reduce the vertical space – the “critical dimension” of a Web page – it takes up. I can’t eliminate the blue Blogger banner without introducing advertising on my blog, which I don’t want to do. I’d host this blog on my own site before I’d accept advertising.

The other significant change today is that I’ve added a second feed option to the banner. You can now subscribe to email updates of the content of this blog through the FeedBlitz link in the header. If you use a feed reader, you can of course continue to use the FeedBurner link already in the header.

Past changes include:

• Expandable post summaries.
• Resizable content.
• A tag cloud in the sidebar.
