Wow I'm on a roll with blog improvements! I have added a few more features that I'm sure will be very helpful. I found a WordPress plugin called Optimal Title that switches the positioning of the page title so that the blog post title is first followed by the blog title itself. Click on the title of this post to see what I mean and watch your browser's title bar. This not only makes it much more intuitive for you as the reader, but it also helps me to be indexed much better by Google and the other guys. This way, more of you will find me here in Ireland.

The other improvement I'm most excited about is the Related Posts plugin. I have place three related posts you might be interested in at the bottom of each post. Have a look for yourself... You see? Isn't that cool? I guess it looks at the tags and groups the posts with similar tags together. Whatever it's doing, I like it! I encourage you to go through some of my recent posts and see what you've been missing. The Related Posts plugin is showing some of my really old and embarrassing posts, so go ahead and have a laugh!

One last minor thing I did was to move the Subscribe to Comments link to the bottom of each post following the comments section. This way you keep track of what others are saying and/or responding to your own comment. Give it a try!

Have a great day and enjoy the upgrades!

I was out enjoying the beautiful spring weather we've been having here in Galway and took a few snapshots of the River Corrib and the Spanish Arch. I decided that my blog needed a more appropriate header image so here it is. I hope you enjoy it!

This photo was taken a few hours ago and what you see from left to right is the Spanish Arch, Nimmo's Restaurant, and the pastel-colored row homes facing the River Corrib (bottom) which empties out into Galway Bay (far right). I see this image in person nearly every single day and decided it was time to capture it digitally. This is only about 3 minute's walk from my apartment which is behind the image. Isn't it amazing what we take for granted? I challenge all of you to enjoy your neighborhood or city and look at it in a different light, maybe take a few photos. Spring is already here in Galway, and I'm sure it is right around the corner for many others as well. Hope you like the new header image and happy spring to you all.
