Ok, I created another extension SnapOn tonight – it’s called “ReadingList”. It’s a list of what I’m reading, and it can be seen in the left navbar if you’re using the Bloos Riff theme, or the right navbar for Blue or Bloo Classic, right below the Bloogroll.

Of course, reading lists such as this can be seen on about a shmillion other blogs out there. I’m nothing if not unoriginal.

I read a lot, but I don’t read a lot of books. Does that make any sense? I’m also a big “pick up whatever P.J. O’Rourke or C.S. Lewis book is near at hand that I’ve already read and start reading from some random page” guy. In other words, I’m apologizing in advance for the way this reading list probably won’t change much.

This was a really easy SnapOn to create. I’m doing the Dilbert Engineer’s Victory Dance right now (and, trust me, it’s not a pretty sight).

Oh, I also adjusted the Bloos Riff theme because I was starting to really dislike how it looked. Again . . .

Watch me for the changes . . .

Actually, using the term “Most Popular Posts” is a bit presumptuous for my humble little corner of the blogosphere with its three readers. But what the hay – it’s a nice way to highlight posts from the past that garnered some commentage.

I wrote a new snapon yesterday on the bus: it’s called MostCommentedPosts and you can see it in action in the left navbar (if you’re using theme Bloos_Riff) or in the right navbar (if using Bloo_Classic or Blue). It’s a concept I came up with many moons ago on Thinklings mainly to keep the Gatorade Post alive somehow (Bird was in a near panic that his magnum opus was about to drift off the front page ;-). Of course, I wasn’t the first one with this idea and you see similar lists all over the blogosphere.

Watch me for the changes . . .

Update: – Well, really, a clarification. I’m sure you are all wondering why this wasn’t part of a new release? Actually, I’m quite sure none of you care :-), but for completeness let me ‘splain. The releases are for the base Bloo product. This is an extension SnapOn (kind of like a WordPress plugin, except it’s a SnapOn, not a Plugin, darnit!). Extension SnapOns and Themes are not part of the base product and will be rolled out separately.
