			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Glad you’ve found your way over here. After much deliberation over names (and .com addresses), I’ve given birth to a shiny new brand, site and domain name. I’ve moved over all the content from <a href="http://www.embeddedstream.com">EmbeddedStream</a> (may she rest in peace) and might even bother with 301 redirects.</p>
<p>Anyway, hope you like the whole B-movie thing. You have to understand he’s just curious, not inherently evil.</p>
<p>I’ll still be tweaking things for a while, but all the basics should be working – let me know if there any any obvious accidents.</p>
<p>In case you’re wondering, for a week or so I was singing in my head (if a ten tonne baby… kills the both of us… to die by your side… well, the pleasure – the privilege is mine). Not that I even listen The Smiths, but it explains a little.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, shiny refined site. There are a number of things that have been bugging me about the embeddedstream site for a while, but I haven&#8217;t really had an opportunity to address them. Well, now I have.</p>
<p>Some of the issues I had were&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>I didn&#8217;t feel like the main content pages were particularly legible or easy to read</li>
<li>There was a lot of guff and noise around that wasn&#8217;t necessary</li>
<li>The homepage wasn&#8217;t very useful</li>
<li>There are lots of posts (about 160) that are not very discoverable</li>
</ul>
<p>Based on these gripes, I&#8217;ve reworked the site. The changes include&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Homepage now consists of recent posts with full content</li>
<li>Style changes to make text more readable</li>
<li>Simplified the design and removed any unnecessary noise (both in content and design)</li>
<li>Added tagging support, and tagged all posts to make content discoverable</li>
</ul>
<p>The main thing really is tagging, which now part of the core Wordpress product (from version 2.3 I think). I was always a little skeptical based on fads and fashion, but if you have a large amount of content it&#8217;s a really powerful way to find things you&#8217;re looking for.</p>
<p>Have a look around and let me know how well the new shoes fit. Also if anyone knows anything about tagging support within Windows Live Writer, or the MetaWeblog API then let me know. At the moment I&#8217;m writing content in Live Writer, then updating tags in Wordpress.</p>

<p>Feel free to let me know how you feel about the new version. If things look a little strange, try doing a hard refresh &#8211; some of the image files have changed, so you&#8217;ll need ditch the cached versions.</p>
<p>Right, my eyes are fuzzy &#8211; time to sleep&#8230;</p>
