Busy, busy here working on a number of blogs. I’m still reading through Getting Real and my overall impressions are: it’s positive, inspiring, applicable to all sorts of fields but nothing profound. But maybe that’s because I’ve been reading their blog Signal vs Noise and the book seems to be a nice summary of that. I’ll highlight the tips I liked soon.
While I’m racing around, trying to catch my breath, three links to handy code, ready to download:
- Particle Tree says Trackbacks are too techy and spammy and thinks blog search should replace Trackbacks. They give a nice little example (complete with trendy
pop-uplightbox) with code you can grab and adapt. - Fast menu Tabs
- A tonne of CSS layouts

Rachel! You have once again, unbeknowingly saved my butt with your blog.
I’m working for 20six Weblogs now, and I am meant to be developing new basic layouts that the users can adapt when the new platform launches, and the CSS layouts page will be great to get some more idea I can adapt for it, as I was running out of ideas for different ways to present the div areas.
Thanks muchly…

Matt (wordpress man) is pushing pingbacks instead of trackbacks. Be interesting to see how this pans out.
Like a lot of the early blog-driven technology ideas (RSS etc) these things seem to have been passed-by as everyone rushes for Web 2.0 gold (whatever that is). Good to see they are still being given attention as they are more fundamental than most things and need to be gotten right.

Hi Stephan, sorry you caught me in the process of moving my RSS feed button – in the meantime you may subscribe here.
