Carbon Trace Update

A few things going on here on Carbon Trace:

1. I’ve created a page for must-see videos — linked on the sidebar under Important Stuff. I’m defining “must-see” for the most part as videos that I think offer excellent information about how to ride a bicycle safely in traffic. But I’m open to other definitions and other videos. So holler if you have suggestions.

2. A while back I added a Skribit suggestion box to the sidebar. You can leave quick notes if you have suggestions for topics. I notice today that I have my first suggestion. I’ll get to it very soon. My thanks to the anonymous person who left the suggestion.

3. I’ve created two new link categories recently for the sidebar — one for transportation planning and one for urban planning. These links should be helpful to me and Carbon Trace readers in keeping track of larger issues affecting utility bicycling. I’m especially impressed with Planetizen and PlannersWeb.

4. I was playing around with the WordPress theme a couple of days ago. I’ve decided to stay with the usual. But I did increase the global font size and made the banner font more closely match the logo.

    Andy,
    If someone, as at least one reader of your blog typically does, clicks in to read your latest post, or she will not see the sidebar at all. I kept wondering what all this sidebar stuff was all about until I clicked on the “Carbon Trace” at the top of the page. For a while, I thought your spam filter was keeping my tender sensibilities from seeing this sidebar.

    This reminds me, “just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re NOT out to get you!” ;-)

    Steve… The theme I’m using doesn’t reproduce a full sidebar for individual entries, which is a fault IMO. I’m still on the lookout for a better one.

    That could be fixed with a little snip of php code.

    Keri… Yes. But I’m not much good at php. I can do the CSS thing a little bit.
