I've recently added development news from Cinplify. Cinplify is a local news aggregator for local news and blog posts that lets readers vote on which stories are important to them. The widget I installed shows the five most recent stories posted to the Construction/Developments section. Clicking on one of those stories takes you through Cinplify--all you need to do then is click on the headline to go to the original story. (You may even want to poke around Cinplify for a while.)
I'm also looking into taking this blog to three columns instead of two. The two columns require a lot of scrolling, and I don't like my photo links being buried at the bottom of the page. I'd also like to fill the whole page and get rid of all of that dead space along the sides of the blog. Most peoples' monitors can handle the wider pages -- only 7% of my last 500 visitors were using 800 x 600 resolution.
Oh...and I added a Technorati thing, if you're into that.
