Over the last couple of days whilst working furiously on some PhD stuff, I’ve been doing some spring cleaning and touching up on the blog. Firstly, I’ve changed the Twitter feed from a Flash badge to an rss text feed – I think this looks more consistent and makes for easier viewing of previous tweets. Also, it will no longer show conversations (using “@” on Twitter). As well as this, at the bottom of the side bar I have now added a feed from my Digg user profile, so that any stories I digg will appear down there, which I think is a cool way for me to show stories from around the web which I thought were cool, without having to writing a full post about them. This was implemented using the FeedList plugin for WordPress.

The only thing I’m not happy with now is the Last.fm feed and the Flickr badge. I may change the Last.fm feed back to text as well very soon. The Flickr badge is pretty much the only one I can’t think of a better alternative for.
