About.me, Disqus, and Singing Brits

Today brought a great deal of progress in leaving Wordpress and hand-coding my new site. I tackled menus and other template items with server side includes (no, not PHP) and had a great experience setting up Disqus so I can maintain a high-quality comment system without Wordpress.

I also set up my about.me profile. It’s a brand new service promising to be your online social hub. It presents a simple profile with links to all of your other online services. Looks good so far, and should be interesting to follow.

All that, plus a sing-along with 100+ Brits. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend planning next week’s trip to London.
