I went into serious geek mode for a few hours tonight (which, unfortnately, caused me to miss Enterprise because I got lost in code and didn’t realize what time it was until Candice called at 8:30pm) and have made a few improvements to the site.

There are two relatively minor changes to the Archives navigation box on the right hand side of the page. I shortened the monthly display list so that it takes up less space, and added links to the category pages that I talked about in my last entry. I also got the templates for my blog software adjusted so that the monthly and categorized archive pages match the look of the rest of the site — previously they were still using the default style that came with the software.

The most in-depth change is the addition of a very powerfull and full-featured search engine. There is a basic search box underneath the Archives links, and a link below that to a page that explains the more advanced search queries that are possible. Basically, it’s a full-featured, Google-style search function for my site. Pretty nifty!

I’ve also adjusted the colophon to reflect the addition of the new search script.
