Pottery Making Info has undergone a number of small updates recently. Here is a quick rundown:
- The Video feed has some new sources and is running the new Pipes engine.
- The Working Artist/Potter Feed has been drastically improved. There are now over 170 blogs that are incorporated into the feed. Initially this caused a very slow load time (at least 40-60 seconds) but after doing a little research I found a helpful hint from Hapdaniel and his idea to use a Google spreadsheet. This reduced the load time but other options are still being explored to improve the feed.
- A Delicious widget has been added to the left column of the site. Delicious is a social bookmarking site. Now it will be much easier to share interesting or useful sites while surfing the ‘net. When a bookmark is added to the Pottery Making Info Delicious Bookmarks, it will show up automatically on the site.
- There is also a whole new Links page devoted to Delicious Bookmarks. It should become more interesting as new sites are added.
- An “AddThis” bar has been added to some of the pages on the site. This was done after the Sociable buttons seemed to stop working. The blog might also get an upgrade in “share buttons” soon but at least the sociable buttons still appear where they’re supposed to be.
- Two images were added to the home page. Maybe it’s a little less boring now?
- There were also a few minor design tweaks… probably too minor to notice.
Let me know if there is anything else that can be added or improved!
