I've hit the half way point on my thirty day vacation-and-blogging spree. Today was an OK day at best. We're to a place where there aren't a lot of big jobs to do, rather scads of small ones. Around the house, various unfinished "tricky" places need drywall. A prime example, Michael bit the bullet and began addressing the kitchen-to-hallway transition. To square the original doorframe, now 2-1/2" out of plumb, he shimmed a plywood column around two sides. Big challenge was to preserve at least a 32" passage, so great lengths were taken to keep thickness of material to a minimum.
The other detail (and no small one at that) addressed today was less house and more house blog. We've been tagging content for a while now, and to be honest our categories sucked. They were created over time, didn't really encompass the project, and were poor information-design at best. Additionally, our friends over at houseblogs.net started using tags for discussion forums. This is a smart use of Web 2.0 networking, which essentially let the tags provide the forum. Housblogs.net is a great site. Most of our traffic comes through that portal, and I consider them an invaluable resource.
I'll leave search-engine optimization for another discussion. In meantime, I'd like to get a simple search going soon too; stand by.
