Site Upgrades

Subtle improvements have been made to the site this weekend.

ABILITY TO LINK TO INDIVIDUAL POSTS
If you want to link to a particular post, that is now possible. Click the "permalink" word at the bottom of the post where it says "permalink posted by Scott", and that will take you to a page where only that post is showing. Now it is a permanent link - so when you send it to others they can see exactly what you are talking about. If you just send them to the main blog page, then the blog post might be halfway down the page and hard to find.

SEARCH CAPABILITY MORE EFFECTIVE
I am trying to incorporate the permalink pages into the search capability, so when you search a term, the exact post will come up, instead of just a link to the main page or archive page. This will make search results much more effective. Not working yet, but hope to have it working soon.

TAG-BOARD PROBLEMS
There are obviously problems with the tag-board service on the upper left. I think I have this up and running again. A problem with the service I was using. I guess you get what you pay for.
