			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey there! So I&#8217;ve been poking at my site over the past week and been adding some tweaks here and there. Nothing too drastic, just some little improvements to the site. I&#8217;ll go through all the changes I&#8217;ve made in this post&#8230;</p>
<div>
<p>1. <strong style="font-size:1.2em;"> Threaded comments with avatars</strong><br/><img src="http://biz82.inmotionhosting.com/~tifana5/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/site_updates01.jpg" alt="Comments are now threaded with gravatars included." /><br/>In the comments section of all the blog posts, you are now able to reply to other comments! Those comments will be nested underneath the comment that you&#8217;ve replied to, and then someone else can reply to that comment you made. You get it? I&#8217;ve set to nest three comments at the most. I hope some of you will take advantage of this new feature! I know I will use it to respond to the comments you guys make! :)  <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-thread-comment/">WP Thread Comment Plugin</a><br />
Also, I&#8217;ve also added avatars to be shown with each comment author. The images that are shown are called Gravatars, which means Globally Recognized avatar.  Many blogs and websites use Gravatars in their comments and it&#8217;s a great way to identify yourself. You can get yourself one here: <a href="http://www.gravatar.com">www.gravatar.com</a></p>
<p>2. <strong style="font-size:1.2em;">Navigation links at the top (and bottom) of the page.</strong><br/><img src="http://biz82.inmotionhosting.com/~tifana5/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/site_updates02.jpg" alt="New top navigation with RSS link" /><br/>I&#8217;ve added navigational links at the top of the page, and also where the footer is. They are links to Home, the new About and Contact page and another link to subscribe to my blog via RSS.</p>
<p>3. <strong style="font-size:1.2em;">New &#8216;About&#8217; and &#8216;Contact&#8217; pages</strong><br/><img src="http://biz82.inmotionhosting.com/~tifana5/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/site_updates03.jpg" alt="Added an 'About' and a 'Contact' page" /><br/>I figured out how to design different page templates in WordPress, and have created an <a href="http://www.tifanani.com/about">About</a> page and a <a href="http://www.tifanani.com/contact">Contact</a> me page. I used this <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/">Contact Form 7</a> plugin to create my form. It was a lot easier than making a form from complete scratch with validation and everything! Thanks to <a href="http://komodomedia.com/blog/2009/06/social-network-icon-pack/">komodomedia <img style="border:none;" src="http://biz82.inmotionhosting.com/~tifana5/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/komodomedia_azure_16.png" alt="KomodoMedia" /></a> for designing the fancy icons which I&#8217;ve used on my contact page.</p>
<p>4. <strong style="font-size:1.2em;">Favicon</strong><br/><img src="http://biz82.inmotionhosting.com/~tifana5/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/site_updates04.jpg" alt="Site now has a favicon" /><br/> My website now has a favicon! (A favicon is the image that appears next to the website address in the address bar, and also shows up in your favorites menu etc.) It&#8217;s something I forgot to add when I first launched my site&#8217;s redesign in July. I took the flower from my logo-ish thing that I have at the top of the page and created the .ico file on this website: <a href="http://www.favicon.cc">http://www.favicon.cc</a>.</p>
<p>5. <strong style="font-size:1.2em;">Twitter profile background</strong><br/><img src="http://biz82.inmotionhosting.com/~tifana5/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/site_updates05.jpg" alt="New background on my twitter page" /><br/>I&#8217;ve added a background to my <a href="http://twitter.com/tifanani">twitter profile</a> to match with this website!  I took my cosmobear and also added my twitter birdy to it&#8217;s paw. I really hope everyone&#8217;s resolution is larger than 1024px, otherwise you won&#8217;t be able to see it!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll have more stuff to add to the site later but that&#8217;s about it for now. Another thing I&#8217;d like to note is that I really hope no one on here is viewing this site with Internet Explorer 6 because it just looks pretty terrible in that old browser! I highly recommend it to be viewed in Firefox. &hearts; :)</p>
