Well, I’ve finally made Way of the Mind catch up with the times. It’s 2006, after all, not 2004.

Here’s what’s new:

• New theme: you’ve probably noticed that one already. It’s based on K2, instead of being based on one based on another based on another (whew!) based on the old Kubrick. I hope you don’t hate the colors too much. My main goal was for it to be readable and easy on the eyes, instead of “pretty”.
• Recent comments list: it’s on the right sidebar. The commenter’s name is more visible (darker) when the comment is more recent, and you can also see the total number of comments, or click on the commenter’s name to go there.
• Time since each post: as in “Published by Pedro Timóteo 1 week, 2 days ago”.
• Improved quoting: there’s a “Quote” link near each comment, which will automatically quote it all into the new comment entry area (though you can, and should, edit out the parts you’re not replying to). You can also select a part of a post or comment, and click on “Quote selected text”, under the entry area, to quote it. Try it, it’s makes it much easier.
• Minor usability improvements: for instance, adding a new comment doesn’t require a page reload anymore.
• More visible “search”: it was already working perfectly, but it’s more visible now, and it already has some instructional text (automatically erased when you start typing) in the search box.
• “Related posts” list moved: It’s on the sidebar, now. Naturally, it’s only visible when you’re viewing an individual post, not on the front page.

By the way, there are still a few alterations to be done, and I’m already aware of a couple of problems (for instance, the “About the blog” and “About me” pages are gone, but they’ll be back). Still, if you have any suggestions, or have spotted other problems, please let me know, I’ll appreciate it.

Oh, and there will be a new, real post later today. I apologize for the delay.
