Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been posting very long (sometimes too long that I had to split them up in several posts) articles, that I wrote ten years ago, over at my swedish site.

When we’re already at it. Molly Holzschlag (yes, I had to look up the spelling — just remember “type of wood” til’ next time) held a session during @media 2006: “Internationalisation: Awakening The Sleeping Giant”. Available as mp3 for audio and slides for visual sensory pleasure.

One thing I’ve been fiddling around with lately in the WordPress default theme Kubrick is navigation. I have enhanced the Archives navigation in the sidebar and split up what used to be Categories into “Sections” and “Topics”, and finaly restyled “Topics” into a tagcloud.

I wrote a simple header image rotator today to be able to substitute the boring blue “thing” with a 4th of July photo. The script is a variation on the header-img.php script included with the Kubrick 1.5 shipped with WordPress as default theme.
