+excerpt: A review of additional changes made to enhance The Tar Pit's look.

+The advantages of, let's call them "standard" blogging platforms, such as
+Wordpress, is that they're convenient: they have a user-friendly interface that
+accommodates the needs of content publishers, without bothering them with
+technical details, at the same time hiding this interface from content
+consumers.
+
+The advantages of "non-standard" blogging platforms, such as Hakyll, is that,
+while they require some programming skills, they are also more flexible and
+have a smaller overall complexity; they also aim to provide the *reader*,
+rather than the creator, with a pleasant experience. However, this can only be
+true if the content publisher/creator eats his own food.

+
+While the [previous set][1] of changes were mostly related to The Tar Pit's
+backend, this time I worked mainly on its look. The archives are now prettier
+and (hopefully) easier to browse. The home page is also a bit more useful: I
+added a witty quote (which might change from time to time) and a list of
+labels, which aren't exactly tags in the truest technical sense of the word,
+but they're not categories either. So let's just call them "labels" and leave
+it at that.
+
+I'll probably come with some other smaller or bigger modifications as The Tar
+Pit grows. All things considered, I'm pretty satisfied with how things've
+turned out so far.
