Howdy Readers! Site Notes

So, in addition to a bunch of posts, this weekend I added some upgrades to the site. Ok, I hope they are upgrades. I added recent comments on the lower left sidebar, which I hope makes things more interactive for readers/commenters. I also added links to several long articles I wrote on mental illness for Seattle Weekly. I edited some other site functions and moved the search box down lower on the left sidebar. All through the magic of html and Movable Type. I'm turning into a geek!?

Is there other functionality you'd like to see? Let me know.

Once a fairly regular crew of commenters emerges, I'll create what's known as a sideblog. It functions much like the diaries you see on more schmancy sites like Daily Kos. That way readers of this site can start their own threads on topics of their own choosing and cut my sorry ass out of the mix. Does the sideblog idea appeal to anyone? It'll require some intricate coding from my inexperienced hand, but I'll be happy to do it once we have 10 or so fairly regular commenters. Let me know.
