I’ve added a new supplemental content block to the bottom of this page (and will eventually be added to other pages) which currently contains my Required Reading list (i.e. my blogroll). The sites listed there are the most important or most useful out of all my syndicated subscriptions and I’ll be keeping it up to date. It’s also sorted by my current preference.

I have multiple reasons for doing this: 1) to give a little context to the site (what I’m reading), 2) to link to the sites that I feel deserve the traffic, and 3) as a marketing ploy (hopefully, somehow, it’ll come back around).

The design is something that I’ve been working on for a little while now, but I think it’s ready to be released into the wild. I don’t think that it’s quite complete as it’s a little tricky to implement in CSS and I think it needs a few other tweaks here and there.

Also, there’s currently an unimplemented piece of the supplemental content section labeled “Something Else”. I’m taking suggestions as what would be most useful there. There are some implementation considerations, so I may rule out some suggestions for those reasons, but please do comment with your ideas.

Update: I’ve also tweaked the article title font and how its underlining works. I just really liked the way I had implemented it in the supplemental content and I was never happy with the titles anyway.
