You may notice a lot of changes over the past few days, or all at once, and there are more to come. (You may also notice breif periods of messiness or "maintenance mode".) C'EST FINISH, CHERIES!
Many will also be added to our other blogs on a schedule of most active (posts/readers) first. The top priority of changing all sites though is to add a matching top navbar for better linking/visiting/recognition between blogs.
One thing I feel I should announce already is our advanced search. It can now order by relevancy or only select from categories, include pages, etc. but you must go to the advanced search page for most of these benefits. Until there are more tweaks to our layout tiny issues like no link straight to advanced search will be available. (And if you feel the previews of posts search finds needs improvement - leave a comment and I'll see what we can do!)
From every search page there is that advanced page link, plus a link to search hints, which helps with any search at the site, for instance you may use quotation marks to narrow results! I highly recommend reviewing the search hints now for all your future usage.
One more note is that the advanced search is actually easy to use, since the default and/or most commonly desirable options are pre-set for you!
That is all for tonight, back to content posts in the morning! Which reminds me to notify you (if you haven't noticed or have wondered) about the upcoming posts schedule now to your right. This lets you know I'm no longer slacking on writing, for one thing, and also actually really helps keep me in line!
Enough boring blather for now. Most of the other changes are either practical wants or monetary necessities for me and merely aesthetic for you. So just get on to viewing the blog to get used to it (although, yes, more changes are coming). I hope you (will) like it as much as I do!
See you with interesting topics starting later this morning, like I said, and note it counts down the hours after 24, so I'll refer you there now. ;-)
