Yep. I’m going nuts with posts today1. Trying to make up for the lack of them in the recent weeks. But now that I’ve said that…
There’s been quite a bit of construction here at Saphrym.com.2
- I’ve installed a few plugins that I’m trying out. Most of it back end stuff. If you’d like to see the ones I have installed, check out my About page.
- I also added a “Blego”3 page to feed my own blogger ego.
- I got rid of the direct link to Twitter and replaced it with FriendFeed. I’m loving that service. Lets me keep track of what my friends like and don’t like and also lets me let people know the same thing.4
- I tried Google Ads again for about a day and still can’t stay the way it looks so dropped it.
- Hmmm. What else? Oh yeah, I installed a forum plugin and have my own forums now! The plugin is awesome. It’s called Simple:Press Forum. Check it out if you want your own forums easily integrated into Wordpress. I decided I wanted forums because sometimes there are conversations you want to have with your readers that the comments just don’t work for. And with those forums comes a few other things:
- I created forums for every topic I discuss on this blog.
- I’ve opened up registration for blog accounts, and therefore forum accounts, to anyone. Which means I might just finally let a few people guest blog here.
- I’ve also started asking for advice questions. Check out the Ask Saph topic in the forums.
I think that’s about it other than the stuff you can see in previous posts. So enjoy the new features. I have to go write more posts. 
(EDIT: Had to test and see how the blog to forum link worked. Hence the link below this. Probably won’t use it often though. I feel conversations about a specific blog post should probably be done within the comments of that post. And even this “edit” is a test to see if the edit shows up in the forum post. We shall see.)
(EDIT AGAIN: Nope. Doesn’t update the forum post itself when the blog post is edited. Ahh well. Will definitely not use it often. I edit my posts too much.)

- And plan on writing many more. So I’m increasing the post count on the index page to 10 instead of my normal 5 [«]
- Not the kind involving replacement of light fixtures, but construction nonetheless. [«]
- Evil Woobie turned me on to the term. Blame her. Again. [«]
- Say that ten times fast and I’ll give you a virtual cookie. [«]

How’d I guess you’d say something like that.

I’m signed into the forum, which signed me in here too. That’s pretty awesome.
Can you add smilies?
Oh, wait. I have to ask in the forums. Ok then.

I haven’t found a way to customize smilies just yet. I’ll figure it out though.
