A bit of housekeeping

Traffic has picked up here lately due to a feature in the Etsy Success email. I realize that my blog isn’t good at staying “on topic” and I have at least two distinct audiences: crafters and hackers.

To make it a little easier for folks to find the posts they care about, I’ve added a sidebar with the category information. I’ve even taken the time to put most posts in categories! If you’re a crafter, you might want to check out Business and Crafting. If you’re a hacker, try Tech.

Additionally, you can now choose which categories you want emailed to you if you sign up for new post emails.

As a side note: if you’re just commenting on the blog to get “link juice” to your URL, it won’t work. All comment links are marked for Google to more or less ignore them. For details, check out the Wikipedia article on nofollow.
