Geeklog: Over the weekend a lot of work went into this site. It was a link back from tallskinnykiwi that made me look at my permalinks and trackbacks. Without going into the details, I realised that a few things around here were just broke.

Much tinkering under the hood later, we now have: New improved permalinks! (but of course, all the old ones still work too, so don't panic now...) Brand-new-formula individual archive pages — get your white text whiter and your colours brighter! Implementation of modules for an always-fresh side(salad)bar! Oh yeah, and a practically Royal Mail-endorsed "posted by..." cause it turns out, some people just dinna know who I were. Huh.

Update: Turns out trackbacks are even more fundamentally broken than I thought. It is in fact impossible to successfully send a trackback ping to this blog for some reason. I have tested the obvious things, and am seeking help, but the next things to try require quite a bit of time. It may be a while.

Further update: A week later, and much work on, I've discovered trackbacks have been working all along, though trackback autodiscovery hasn't so any technogeeks out there ever actually linking to this site will need to ping the trackback URL manually for the meantime. I've also found the inline comments on the individual archive pages breaks the page design unless you're using a fairly wide window, so there's another thing to fix. This is officially the longest geeklog ever.
