Site Updates…

For those of you that have visited this site before, you’ll see that I have been working to add some new features to the site. This is my first public blog, so I am still playing around a bit with the various features, functions and add-ons for WordPress. Among the changes that you will see in today’s round of updates are:

Activation of the “Polling” widget on the right side bar. I am interested in what you think about my site and would like suggestions for improvement as comments to this post… please try to be kind, even if you do not like something I have done.

I have entered the VTHopHead blog into some of the big blog catalogs available on the Internet. These will begin to improve my blog’s visibility to others and make it easier to find.

I have linked this blog’s comments into the DISQUS Comments system (www.disqus.com). This powerful add-on not only provides spam protection, a comments tracking widget and threaded comments, but also links blog comments in to a Web-wide network of other blogs using DISQUS for their comments… Twitter uses this, for example. I visit a lot of blogs and the idea of maintaining a single DISQUS profile to track all of my comments made to these blogs is appealing to me.
