Now you can see what&#8217;s been distracting me from blogging.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve also added &#8216;Subscribe&#8217; forms to the main blog page, the category pages and the entry pages.  Enter your email address and you get a notice of new posts to the blog or to a specific category or of new comments.  The comments subscription will be the most appreciated, I think, since it&#8217;ll let you know if others comment on a post you did.  As of now, the form is only at the top of the right column, I plan on integrating it into the comment form as well.<br \/>\nI hope to have more improvements to come soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some long awaited improvements here at salguod.net.
