Hi y’all, i’d like your opinion on the following:

I think the categories at the left are overkill. I’d rather have a (competely rewritten) filter to browse through the categories (tags). To get an idea, have a look at the current archive. Auke and I will work on this afther the issuescraper has been delivered (in about two weeks). I think a filter/search bar at the top of the blog would be a good idea. Maybe a wikifier can be integrated there as well (hyperlink the nounphrases of a post).

I’d like to show the latest 5 del.icio.us tags of jacoplane, informationlab and justl0l at the left - as we are currently interested in the same kind of things and it gives a quick overview of apparently nice things.

Also a function which shows the recent comments should be at the left.

What are your ideas and suggestions or objections?
