Layout update
Just a quick layout update here. The look is changed*, but more important to me are the adjustments I made to the source code itself and to the source order.
With the source order, I moved the sidebar that used to be over to the left way down in the source order- it used to sit at the very top of the source order. Now the first stuff that spiders (and users with screen readers) see is pure content. Those of you with the web developer toolbar can turn off styles to see the naked goodness of the site now. It’ll be interesting to see if the change enhances my search engine placement at all. Of course, I know the site is now a better, cleaner, experience for people browsing with screen readers and with text browsers, so that’s a bonus whatever Google thinks about my changes.
*honestly, this has been a to-do list item for something like six months. When I moved over to Wordpress as part of the site relaunch I didn’t put as much effort as I could have into the theme. As time went on and I started to really enjoy posting on the blog again, the shortcuts I’d made with the layout and with the blog markup started to drive me a little batty. Thankfully I was able to steal some time tonight to start in on getting this section straightened out.
More to come as the days go by
