Category: The Blog

In checking through my SiteMeter references today, I came across an interesting (if useless) factoid: apparently, I’m #888 of 4417 “Political” blogs in the Technorati system.

Something seems off to me there; you’d think there would be more blogs in that category. Plus, I don’t use any Technorati tagging, so I’m not sure why I got classed as a Political blog over any other category. I’ve always maintained that this is primarily a personal weblog mor than anything else. But what the heck, it’s always nice to be noticed.

8 is also a lucky number to the Chinese, and my Econ final is tomorrow. I’ll take all the luck I can get with that one.

So, I signed up to be listed at JewishBlogging.com.

It was a bit difficult trying to figure out which category to list this blog under, as my subject matter can vary wildly depending on my mood. I ultimately chose ‘women,’ since after all, that’s what I am. Hopefully I won’t stick out like a sore thumb amidst all the frum bloggers.

I made a few small tweaks to the templates for the blog today. Fiat Lux will be two years old in a couple of weeks, and I’m thinking a new look might be in order.

I can tweak CSS when I have to, but I’m not an expert, so creating a new look from scratch would be a lot more work that I’m willing to do. I did some quick Googling for Movable Type styles other than the default ones, and apparently there are at least a few out there. I’ll see what I can find.

I finally got around to upgrading the photo gallery. I’ll be adding more pix to it soon.

Wow. Getting blogrolled by Kevin Drum has done some amazing things to my web traffic. I think I’m wearing out my free SiteMeter account, but I’m not quite ready to shell out $59 for the upgraded account. Time to start researching alternatives.
