3pointD.com

As you may have noticed at right, 3pointD went through a slight bit of sidebar redesign this evening. Most prominently, I’ve added a “recent comments” section, thanks to an ace plug-in for WordPress. So bring on your insights, opinions and/or invective; from now on, you’ll be able to see at least part of it near the top of the sidebar. Other than that, I just rearranged some of the sidebar elements, and got rid of my SLurlPane. I liked the SLurlPane — I liked having the big graphic element up there — but it felt too static, and it slowed down the page a lot. I’ve replaced it with a little Flickr badge — but now that’s busted! The last dozen or so page loads haven’t changed it from the L$ graph, for some reason, even after I uploaded new pics to the 3pointD pool. I suspect this may have to do with my changing one line of the badge code, but I’d done that in the old one and that one worked (until recently, actually). Any suggestions? Anyone know a good Flickr hack that would let me get a larger size pic in there (without having to use the medium size on the interface, which hangs off the edge of the page)? Or a suggestions for some other dynamic graphical element to put there?

Basically, though, let me know how we’re looking. There haven’t been any major changes, but I always like feedback. Thanks in advance!
