Site: Timeline

For those interested, here, in reverse chronological order, is the timeline of events that created IAmPariah.com.

2005-01-01:: Re-launched site rebuilt from scratch in standards-compliant xHTML, CSS, and PHP. The blog now runs on WordPress, a total port from MovableType.
2004-05-29:: Added RecipRoll (who links to this site through BlogRolling.com).
2004-05-29:: Added subtle page transitions to every page of site.
2004-05-16:: Added Google AdSense advertising to the bottom of the left column throughout the site.
2004-04-27:: In light of my growing list of professional projects, such as The Design Weblog and The Magazine Design Weblog, I changed the sidebar that appears on all pages of the site to include a new section, "My Websites". This new section highlights and differentiates my websites from the other links in the left column.
2004-03-08:: As described in this blog post, I installed MT-BlackList and other security systems to the blog and my site.
2004-01-17:: Made changes to navigation UI in that navigational links 2-4 are now entirely CSS formatted. Indents and spacing are now handled entirely through CSS, and all the code hacks for older browser compatibility have been removed. This action makes the navigation system more user friendly for CSS 2.0-capable browsers.
2004-01-17:: Reduced the second-level navigational menu display of archived blog posts from the previous twelve months to the previous six, with a "[more...]" link to all archived posts, including those older than the prior six months.
2004-01-17:: Expanded and refined the implementation of post categorization and category indexing on the blog. Each post now displays its category (or categories) in all indexes as well as prominently within the individual post page. Related posts are now much easier to find.
2004-01-10:: Added whole new section to site, Downloads, which provides access to application skins, wallpapers, blog toys and tools, and other things I've created.
2003-08-04:: Added daily counts to the Memes List.
2003-08-02:: Installed on the Blog a formatting toolbar for the comment submission forms. I also redesigned the commenting forms and tweaked the CSS of form elements/toolbars throughout the site.
2003-08-02:: Installed on the Blog plugin to Subscribe To Comments and be notified of new replies via e-mail.

2003-04-19:: Modified the Bookmarks & BlogRoll page and system (including the sidebar, popups, and home page sections) to include the Blogrolling.com BlogRoll via JavaScript rather than PHP due to errors Blogrolling.com keeps sending back during (formerly perfectly functional) PHP includes.
2003-04-19:: Tweaked my Blog.
2003-04-18:: Installed to the Blog the plugins: MTRelativeDate and SmartyPants (this is really cool since it means I no longer have to type — every time I want a simple em-dash).
