Well, it’s still really the Networker-10 theme underneath, but I’ve stripped away a lot of the CSS that made my site look heavy, moved things around, added some quick links along the top, and finally got around to making sure wp-cache worked. The site should be nice and zippy again. Check it out at sachachua.com!
Following the advice in Debbie Weil’s “The Corporate Blogging Book”, I’ve changed the main page of my blog to show excerpts instead of full posts. That way, you won’t get intimidated by huge blocks of text. What do you think about it? Good idea? Bad idea? Should I go back to full posts?

Here are ten of my favorite Wordpress plugins:
Discover old posts and make random connections.
Make it easier for people to comment and keep track of the conversation. Make it easier to respond to those comments, too!

Some people like reading my task list.
No, I don't know why, either. =)
But it's up again, just in case you want to see it. This one is based on Org-mode for Emacs, so it's not the same task list that used to show up on my Planner wiki.
Expect this to change a lot as I figure out how I want it to fit in. The downside of using Wordpress as my front-end is that it looks like it's going to be difficult to get the kind of day view I have with my Planner version. How do I get it to display future pages?
I may end up writing yet another layer on top of this... =(
Anyway, here's my highly idiosyncratic config, just in case you want to get started hacking this onto your system:
(defvar sacha/org-publish-agenda-directory "~/notebook/org/" "*Directory to save the published agenda to.")
(org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map "p" 'sacha/org-publish-agenda)
(defun sacha/org-publish-agenda ()
"Copy the agenda buffer to a file in `sacha/org-publish-agenda-directory'."
(interactive)
;; Take the entire contents of the agenda and dump it into a text file labeled with the date.
(let ((agenda (with-current-buffer org-agenda-buffer-name
(unless org-agenda-show-log (org-agenda-log-mode))
(buffer-string)))
(filename (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d.txt" (if org-starting-day (calendar-time-from-absolute (1+ org-starting-day) 0)
(current-time)))))
(with-temp-buffer
(insert agenda)
(write-file (expand-file-name filename
sacha/org-publish-agenda-directory)))))
(defun sacha/org-publish-agenda-today (interactive)
"Publish today's agenda. Suitable for ~/.emacs, we hope."
(let ((entry (assoc "a" org-agenda-custom-commands)))
(if entry
(org-run-agenda-series (nth 1 entry) (cddr entry))
(call-interactively 'org-agenda-list))
(sacha/org-publish-agenda)))
On Technorati: emacs, org, wordpress
Random Emacs symbol: hack-local-variables - Function: Parse and put into effect this buffer's local variables spec.
