Integrated Quicklink Redesign

I’ve redesigned the front page of my weblog to combine the regular blog entries with the Quicklinks in one column — basically copying Jason Kottke‘s recent redesign. I tried doing this once before, but I couldn’t write an SQL statement in my old CMS that would accomplish it.

Unlike Kottke, I’ve managed to format the entries with 2 different templates using only simple MT plugins (and without having to use the MT SQL plugin). I simply had to make one useful addition to the Global Listings plugin, which I’ve suggested to the author for his next release. As soon as I get a chance, I’ll post the templates I’m using.

Any and all feedback is welcome.

Very simple and sleek. Loving it. Could use a dash of color though. Maybe have the top be red and not grey.

At some point in the last redesign, comment links got added to your index.rdf so posts reload in an aggregator every time someone comments. I don’t know how many people use your feed but I really like it except for that!

i like it and would love to check out the templates, since i think i’d like to integrate my movie reviews into the main part of the blog.

Is it just me or is the stylesheet changing every few minutes? 😉

I think this is your nicest layout yet. Very sharp. And the feed works right now, too. Yay!
