Site Update - Blogroll and subscribe to comments functionality

I have been working on few things towards improving this blog for last couple of days. Just for records, here are the details…

1. Added the list of blogs (blogroll) which I read. The ’simple listing’ can be viewed at the right most column under the heading called “Blogs I read…” and detailed one along with my reviews can be accessed by following the read reviews link at end of the list.

2. Added the list of podcasts I listen to. The ’simple listing’ can be viewed in the right most column under the heading called “Podcasts I listen to…” and detailed one along with my reviews can be accessed by following the read reviews link at end of the list.

3. I have included the two new links at the top of the page (navigational links in the header) for Blogroll and Podcasts links. I thought it might be useful

The review page functionality was made possible by a plugin called ZoC powerblogroll though I had to hack the code a bit to suite my likings.

4. Installed the plugin called subscribe to comment to provide the readers an option of subscribing to comments notification for a particular post. I have configured this plugin to have the checkbox “subscribe to comments” unchecked by default. This will ensure that only interested readers subscribe to comments. This was suggested by Lorelle in her post WordPress Plugins for Comments and I agree with Lorelle completely.
