• Live Search – Check out that text box to your left. Try searching for something and behold it’s AJAXy goodness.
• Dynamic Archives – Also powered by AJAX. No pages to have to link through; the list grows as you scroll.
• Twitter Mentions – Each blog post (and a few of the pages) include a “Twitter” tab. The tab lists any mention of the page’s long or short permalink structure. It uses the excellent Backtype API to accomplish this. I developed it originally against the Twitter Search API, only to discover how awful they are at retaining data like this. Backtype works flawlessly and has a very respectable retention history.

Of course, the most obvious changes are the revised color scheme and layout. I got sick of the dark look, so I replaced it with a more eye-friendly, lighter appearance. There’s also a few new pages hidden around, if you take a look.

So, I hope you enjoy the new look. I’ll hopefully be releasing the theme in a month or two after I give it the old dog food treatment and work out the kinks.
