My personal website is a test bed for my ideas on copyright law, art, and new web applications. I also use it to try out new features for client sites. The simple, three-column design focuses on pulling content from other web sources via RSS and other lightweight web services:
- A linklog (for posting quick, annotated links from my Yahoo! My Web 2.0 account without creating a full post)
- My Flickr photos (custom created through FeedBurner). I made custom TypePad code to deliver the full posts for the last 5 entries and just the headlines for the 5th – 10th most recent
- Google Ads on just the individual archive page for the post, leaving the homepage ad-free.
- Google AdSense for Search to deliver the full site search for users and to generate revenue.
This weblog has also become my central site, and I’ve used the TypePad export/ import feature to consolidate posts, categories, and images into one central place.
