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. + +[1]: /posts/y00/007-changes.html -- 1.7.10.4
