Flumesday Version 2.0 Has Arrived
After months of work and some tedious tinkering, the new Flumesday is finally here. While at first glance, the new site may look the same, things are drastically different. For months now, I was like the only site in the world without an RSS feed. If you don’t know what this is, don’t worry. I didn’t either a few months ago. Well, I now have one. Other than that, the major upgrade is the navigation capabilities to the site. You can click on post titles and see that at the bottom of every individual post you can click to the next and previous post and use the side panel to browse posts by week or by category. Each category also has its own RSS feed. Not to mention the hot new header designed by yours truly. The image is a negative of a photo of the Yanan Lu ramp onto the Bund in Shanghai taken from underneath the highway. As I said in the Flumesday birthday post, the search capabilities are also greatly improved. A post is searchable as soon as it is posted. For example, whereas before there were only three posts with the word “vagina,” as of right now, there are four. Another cool feature for you long-time readers is that all the old Stateside posts that used to disappear after a couple weeks are all available now for reading. To see the posts, just click Stateside on the category listings, which are on the right side of every page other than the front page. You’ll also notice a change in the commenting system. All comments are now embedded within the pages as opposed to the old pop-up window. Look around and feel free to e-mail me with any suggestions or if you find that anything is messed up. On this day of Autumnal Equinox, when the Chinese celebrate the harvest, please enjoy the fruits of my labor. Except for the Jewish readers who are atoning and can read it when the sun goes down. And all my Muslim friends who are observing Ramadan and can catch up next month. And of course, the Chinese who are busy eating moon cakes. Take a break from your lunar holidays and unite in some Flumesday.
