Merry Holiday to you, fellow city dwellers. Today at A Tiny City you’ll notice a few additions to the blog, the first of which is, obviously, audio integration:

Porky Pig - Blue Christmas

I saw it on Geotypografika, always singing so loud and proud, and I just had to have it. And I finally figured it out. Download the plugin at http://wpaudioplayer.com/ and share all kinds of tunes and whatnot with the world.

2. Facebook Connect - in it’s infancy, a simple connection to Facebook with Wordpress. Right now all it does is display your facebook icon by the “make a comment” box, post your name and facebook homepage on comments you make, and it gives you the option of posting any story in your facebook feed for all to see. The relatively-easy way to implement this is with the directions given by Beau Lebens on his webspace [Dented Reality] -it’s what I used!

NEVERMIND! On the second day of 2009 I read a post on ma.tt and installed the insanely simple to install Intense Debate.

3. Javascript Snow - a 28th Avenue tradition, this java-snow has been following me (us) since http://nopantsland.com/ - which, incidentally, I just resurrected as a kind of museum webpage, using The Internet Archive.

On the topic of Java, check out this Moon Graffiti by Roast Beef. It’s amazing.

And last, but of course not least, I’ve started changing the way I write. I’m posting links inside sentences, trying to make each post tie the internet a little tighter together. Then, I’m using Minipop as a secondary link system, utilizing it as the archive I’ve always meant it to be, saving content as an alternate means to keeping it active, linking to it and the original, rather than just it. Finally, each of the sections that laid dormant and unformatted have been modified to fit the current ATC theme. The whole site’s been edited modified in one way or another over the last week or two - all of this in the wake of Kevin Kelly’s speech on Web 10.0.

Connections and connections and connections.

Stay warm, everyone!
