Sebastian’s Pamphlets

Howdy! I’m in the process of moving my blog from blogspot to this domain. As long as you see a ToDo List here, I’m not yet ready. Ok, there’s no such thing as a blog that’s “ready”. Hence the ToDo list is here to stay. Probably forever. More on the bugs & flaws page.

Unordered & unprioritized ToDo List
• OK: dofollow plugin
• OK: feedburner
• OK: navigation in sidebar
• OK: links + OK:blogroll
• OK: remove “be the first …” on pages w/o comments
• OK: Twitter and other gadgets
• OK: configure titles (<title><?php wp_title(”",true); ?></title> (actually that’s more code coz wp_title(”",true) delivers nil for the home page)) and meta tags
• tag old blogger posts
• OK: 301 sebastian-x.com
• OK: post background color too dark (blockquotes) and other CSS hacks
• OK: XML sitemap
• credits on links page
• enhance site search when Google has indexed everything
• links list blogspot commenters
• OK: friendlier 404 page which actually sends a 404
• contact page
• edit blogspot links in imported posts and comments (when you get pings because I’ve edited an old post of mine, I’m sorry.)
• OK: edit categories to enable nice categorized links lists feeding old posts with link juice
• OK: Feed buttons
• OK: Share/bookmark links
• OK: change author links
• OK: linking from blogspot posts to new URLs
• OK: sitemaps/categories page with feed links/list of articles
• fix the disabled button + text area after AJAXed comment submissions
• advertising? Ynot.
• OK: think about testing vs. launching early (Hi Marissa!)
• OK: bait crawlers (Ms. Googlebot grabbed her milk & cookies a day after I’ve registered the domain, but is confused because I’ve changed the IP address a few days later)
• OK: ask friends for href changes
• wait for something unspecified
• OK: push the red button, publish the moved-draft at blogger, redirect the blogger feeds to feedburner, and turn this thingy to public
• FINALLY: redirect the blogspot url

I’ll write a post on a few technical aspects of the move in a few days.
