I’ve made a few more changes to improve navigation on the site and make it less cluttered.

First, I removed the “Reviews” menu option. It felt out of place with the others, especially since any review will include the category link.

Next, I changed the “Home” menu option to “Blog,” to make it clearer that it’s the link to my blog (and that the “Books” and “Games” options don’t lead to blog posts).

Third, I realized the social media icons inviting you to share the post displayed twice after each post. I fixed that.

Finally, it didn’t seem necessary to have two “subscribe” boxes. With one in the sidebar and one at the bottom of each post, you’d often end up seeing both at the same time. Therefore I removed the one from the sidebar, especially since it didn’t quite display right.

How do you feel about these changes? Are there other changes you’d like to see? Let me know in the comments!

This is mainly a message to my email subscribers, letting you know I am no longer using Feedburner. Instead, I’ve switched to Mad Mimi.

If you’ve already subscribed, you don’t have to change anything. The emails will just look a little different when they arrive.

If you haven’t subscribed, you can do so by entering your email address here or using the form in the sidebar.

You can read the full blog posts in your email, although there are a few benefits to visiting the full site instead:

• Fancy content (tables, numbered lists, spoiler tags, etc.) doesn’t display right in the feed format. Don’t worry about seeing spoilers, though. Content within spoiler tags doesn’t show up at all.
• Related posts are listed here on the site for each post.
• The feed does not recognize updates to a post as new content, such as when I add new parts to my LP. (More reason to follow me on Facebook and Twitter.)
• You can only leave comments here on the site.

Fortunately, each email also includes a link to the post in question. You can always come here if you want to see the original post.

And for those of you using RSS readers, you should use this feed URL, although the Feedburner link should continue to receive updates.

Once you’ve received a post or two, let me know how it works out. Is this new format better than Feedburner’s, or do you wish I hadn’t switched? What features do you like the most?
