EFL Geek
Hello and welcome to the new domain. Everything is the same as before, however there are a few kinks to be ironed out. before I get into that, don’t forget to update your bookmarks to http://eflgeek.com and your RSS feeds as well:
|
. I’ve decided to only publish RSS2.0 and not atom feeds so that is why you can only see the comments feed and the RSS 2 feed.
Most of the kinks are with my Learning Korean Blog, however I’m sure there are few things I overlooked here as well. I originally intended to go live with this site and makeover after I completed my essays. But while working on the new site, I did a lot of work after importing the database (just to test it out) and I didn’t want to lose all that work if I had to re-import the database in 2-3 weeks. Here we are, a little early but the new site with a new look.
I’ll be adding a couple of new sections and features over the summer, so keep watching. Any suggestions for feature requests or if you notice broken parts of my site, please send me an email.
Finally this blog should now be viewable in China. My friends in China told me that the old domain was not viewable. But via MSN I tested it with a friend in Beijing and he could see this site last week.

Looks fantastic!
But how do you want to be referred to now on other blogs? “The blogger formerly known as Blinger”? “The EFL Geek”? Just plain “EFL Geek”?
Sean. wrote 16 words on Tuesday May 24, 2005 at 02:27 PM
Good questions. EFL Geek will do fine, but any of the other choices are accpetable too.

Ah, change. I liked this template enough that I’m using some of the CSS on my personal blog.
But I’ll miss the Blinger brand. You had a lot of currency built up with it.

I liked Blinger...but you’re the boss.

Hey! Maybe I can get on your blogroll now!!!
Sean. wrote 22 words on Wednesday May 25, 2005 at 07:51 AM
Actually now that I have the expandable blogroll I have enough space for a larger blogroll and will be expanding it shortly.

Would you be willing to share the show/hide script you’re using on your sidebar? I’d like to try something similar on my personal blog.
Sean. wrote 22 words on Wednesday May 25, 2005 at 11:29 PM
All the details can be found on this thread over at the EE forums. If you have any other questions just ask.

Thanks for sharing...works well for me except for one small glitch with an Amazon list. Will have to work on it.

Looks nice, but would be better without the tiny absolute font sizes. Gives me a headache to read such small print.
Sean. wrote 37 words on Thursday Jun 2, 2005 at 06:16 AM
I changed the font sizes to relative. I hadn’t noticed because the new look has been built over a template. I only changed what I didn’t like. I agree that relative font-sizes are much better than absolutes…
