I am taking some time to set up this Drupal site to be more blog like. What does that mean? Well for me, there are several things that scream blog to me when I come across a web site. Obviously, there is the content itself, but many of the blogs I have enjoysed have blocks that tell the reader something about the blogger.

Here are some things I have seen on blogs I like:

  • clean design with dark letters on white background
  • links to the bloggers friends and influences
  • feeds from Flickr, Twitter, del.icio.us, etc.
  • lots of inline images
  • free tagging and a tag cloud
  • addition of javascript gadgets

This is a start. I plan on expanding on this list as I develop this idea.

So far, I have added my twitter feed to this blog. I also plan on adding some other feeds and dressing the site up a little while keeping a clean design.

The site xolotl.org an article on blogging in Drupal 5 that has some great suggestions. The site is a good example of a Drupal blog itself.

Even if it can be filtered some minerals may possibly still get via and coat the walls of the machine, and mineral deposits within the ice machine will lower production capacity. Luckily, this ice making machine price has a water sensor that monitors the hardness of the incoming water and purges the whole cube ice making machine each so frequently, based on the water good quality. This purging drastically reduces the quantity of mineral deposits and decreases the frequency of cleaning. That is not to say you will in no way need to clean this machine. You just need to do it much less typically, so still maintain an eye out for that yellow light that lets you know it is time for a cleaning.
