Heads up! I'm thinking about another round of blog revamping, to keep our cool image fresh and updated, and keep all our visitors coming back. I'll save the old template in case we want to go back to it, but i've located some new external templates that look pretty cool. So in the near future, the blog may look different, hopefully better. Here are a few new things to look for:
1. New template. color scheme and possibly number of columns may change.
2. New gadgets. planning to add new "gadgets" in the sidebars. May try to see if I can "feed" in some RSS feed info from Runnersworld or another running site (maybe Binghamton's track web page).
3. I updated the posting options to the newer version, so you may see more options when you are creating posts (better control over uploading and formatting photos, etc.).
4. I already added a link to Facebook/Twitter to improve our visibility.
5. I already added a "recent" posts gadget to the right sidebar near the top, for easy access to our most recent posts. I can modify this to show the first sentence or so of each post, but it starts looking a little cluttered.
By the way, i know we're not the most popular site on the web, but behind the scenes, you can view some details of web traffic, and we do get routine hits of our blog from around the world. Germany seems to be the most popular spot. Not sure it these are from real people or just "web crawlers/robots."
