Fannish Symbols

Just a quick post: For those of you who obsessively reload this weblog over and over and over again, you will now see the space that was formerly inhabited by a Guitar Hero logo change into a variety of other symbols and pictures every time you load the front page of the site. Most of these should be self-explanatory, and the set of them will hopefully grow as I grow more and more obscure, geeky interests.

For now, though, you should be able to see either: A Wii controller, the desktop icon for World of Warcraft, a Dharma Initiative logo from Lost, the symbol from Heroes, a miniature starship Enterprise (the original, naturally), the “P” from the Harry Potter logo, and that cute little Guitar Hero controller that was up there originally. Yeah, I’m letting all my obsessions hang out, people.

I plan to add more as time and insight allows. Please let me know if this doesn’t render properly on your web browser for some reason, as I am never quite sure that I’m using PHP properly whenever I try to do something like this.

Additionally, you should now see a series of links at the bottom of each entry. These are shortcuts to allow you to forward a page on to Digg, del.icio.us, Furl, Reddit, Slashdot, and Technorati. I have no idea if anyone will actually do this with any of my posts, but just in case, there you are.

Finally, I’m in the process of changing around some of the stuff you see in that “About” box on the front page. I’ve added my Twitter account (I’ll be posting more about Twitter soon, once I really get a chance to try this thing out), my Wii friend code (send me yours if you haven’t already!), and a few other things. I’ve given up Myspace for Virb, and I’ll always accept any gracious present you choose to buy me off my Amazon wishlist.

I enjoy this theme (based off of the Hemingway theme), but I am a bit annoyed that it’s hard to incorporate a blogroll or other stuff. So, I’m soon going to be redoing the “about this site” link, creating separate pages for blogrolls and my del.icio.us links, as well as all the other personal junk that I used to have on my old site (my Netflix queue, my last.fm music, etc.) I enjoy putting that stuff up, and will find a way to do it on some sub-page of the current site.

More minor tweaks to the site will be on the way. Please watch for falling bricks.

    I get a broken image (http://se4n.org/2007/03/17/fannish-symbols/tiny/4.jpg) on the post page (http://se4n.org/2007/03/17/fannish-symbols/). Looks like it’s a relative URL that shouldn’t be relative to the post URL.

    What’s Twitter?

    What, no Pokeball?

    I know how excited you get about your pokemans.

    Oops, thanks Erik. Poked into the PHP and fixed it. The random image stuff I had used didn’t pay attention to the directory structure. Stupid me.
