Design changes finished

Hello everyone!

I’ve finished the changes to my blog; I’m happy with the results - there are still some little things to take care of, but the heavy lifting is done.  Here are the changes:

1) Removed the forums - nice feature, but no one was using them
2) Removed the wiki for the same reason
3) Upgraded to expression engine 1.6.0
4) Removed member area from sidebar - this blog is becoming slightly more didactic which makes sense as there is little community participation*
5) Added new sub-categories - look for more…I’d like to increase the number of categories by 20
6) Added a new section: text-based games - this has been a long time passion of mine, and I see no reason not to share it!
7) Changed the the CSS so it is uber-simple (go ahead and look)
8) Changed my Star Trek gallery a bit - I might troll around and look for some new images.
9) Changed the ed-tech section - the HOWTO’s are no longer paginated, and the latest 25 ed-tech entries are visible
10) Changed the title of each story to smaller boldfacing - it looked wonky in Internet explorer (which renders more nicely than current version firefox, btw)
11) Ensured the site still validates.

* I am considering starting a new community-based site which would focus on educational technology with a focus on games in education - I need to think about it a little more.
