ToDo

Things To Do Before "1.0":

Add animated dragon logo on right top.
Fix permalinks.
Get the front page working at mcherm.com. (It would be nice if "http://mcherm.com/blog" also worked since I've been giving that out while in beta.)
Add the actual blog title.
Valid XHTML.
Valid CSS.
Make it work in IE6 with narrow margins.
Add map logo on the left top.
Document licensing of content.
Better way to include code snippets. Man, that's broken!
Fix the display of the archives.
Fix links so my mom can recognize them (underlines!).
Fix side bar so it works when narrow.
Take off the "print this page" link. What's it there for anyhow?

Provide better formatting for code samples in body and in comments.
Use a plug-in for caching (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001105.html).
Upgrade my WordPress version (figure out how!).
Find a tool to make it easier and quicker to put in images.
Provide for printing in the CSS so it looks useful.
Host images at S3 (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000808.html).
Add some caching tool so I can handle sudden large traffic.
Switch to random subset of blogroll in sidebar.
Include info from my del.icio.us feed in sidebar. This is worthwhile because my feed is fairly rich in information but no one knows it.
Support OpenID by adding the following text to the home page: """<link rel="openid.server" href="http://getopenid.com/action/authenticate/"><link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://getopenid.com/mcherm/">"""
Allow for OpenID logins so people don't have to create user IDs on my system if they use OpenID.
Set up automatic regular backups.
Clean out the large number of "spam" user accounts.
Provide a means to format it in Outlook for mailing at work.
