Metametametadata

Updates!

Here it is: version 1.0, although it's debatable whether the site is actually ready for prime time.

The feature list:

• A new stylesheet, ooh, isn't it pretty?
• A new set of archives, organizing the entries by category.
• Links to these category archives at the bottom of each post, e.g. "more on Metametadata"
• Navigation menu available from every page, including single-entry pages, and date- and category-based archives.
• New double-secret Members Only link. For more information just ask, I guess.
• Added lily as an author. Welcome lily, we look forward to your first post.
• I updated the rest of the site as well, go check out metametadata.net

So I haven't been slacking this long weekend. And there will be more posts from me soon. I hope we'll all see posts from the other authors as well. If you're interested in becoming an author, please submit a comment of no more than 25 words explaining why you would be the greatest blog author of all time and our best friend forever and ever.

As for the new categories. They're kind of cool. Now anyone who only wants to see the funny stuff and couldn't care less about the metadata or the fantasy stuff can just ignore the boring parts and go straight to the raunchy bits.

Moveable Type allows you to provide one primary category and as many secondary categories as you want. When creating an archive for each category, it will include any post that has the category as either a primary or secondary. So posts will end up in more than one list. The category list is exactly what you see on the menu. Any author can create a new category. I would ask authors to remember that the link at the bottom of the entry reads "more on ...", so use the plural where appropriate ("more on feet", not, "more on foot", etc.). Authors, please also try to pick the one primary category that the entry belongs to more than any other. I'll periodically check the entries and add secondary categories where appropriate.

I hope everyone is enjoying the site and that you're all loking forward to becoming active members of the little community we're getting going here.

Your friendly Keeper.
