I’ve just installed the article commenting commenting system from DISQUS!
What it means for visitors, hopefully, is that it will provide a better community experience, and an easier way to post questions and follow responses. Another cool thing is that if you visit other blogs using DISQUS, you can use the same user profile.
Please try it out and let me know what you think!
I hope to be adding a new feature to the web site…podcasts! Since I am an avid podcast listener myself, it occurred to me that having the option to listen to articles in the car, or on the bus on the way to work might be really useful for busy people. If you are a caregiver, you are definitely busy. Personally, podcasts are the only way I can keep up with news.
So, as soon as I can work out some of the bugs (I’ve never done a podcast before), look for a link on the site to start downloading to your iPod.
Thanks to the folks over at Content.Robot, you can now access this site easily on an iPhone! If you come to the site using Safari on the iPhone or iPod Touch, the content will be reformatted to fit nicely on the screen with a very elegant and simplified theme. I almost wish the “regular” site looked like that. If you’re browsing the site with an iPhone, leave a comment or drop me a note to let me know how you like it. One of my objectives of the site is to help busy people (and who isn’t busy) get quick, useful information to help them with the job of caring for others. Hopefully this addition will make it easier for some folks by allowing them to use that time sitting on the bus, or waiting in the doctor’s office more productively.
During the site update I added some new bits and pieces. Probably the most noticeable is the Recommended Reading section in the sidebar. From time to time I will be rotating some reading selections I’ve found useful. The best part is that if you are interested, you can click right on the book image and it will take you to Amazon and show you that book selection. If you use my links, I will get a small cut from Amazon that will help me defer the costs of maintaining the web site. Everybody wins! I hope you will find this useful.
Just a fore-warning that I am planning on updating the system that the site runs on, so if there are any glitches, the site may be down. If necessary I’ll revert to the old system. Wish me luck!
