Some enhancements to InsideTheCBC.com

Over the weekend, I upgraded the blog software and added a few more features to make this site a bit easier to peruse:

Commenter pictures: You can now have your photo (or almost any image representing yourself) beside any comments you make. Want to get started? Get your own “gravatar” here.
Integrated Digg.com: Now, if you “digg” one of the stories here on the popular social news site, the famous little Digg button will automatically appear on the story. Here’s an example.
Wider page: Now, there’s more width to the pages, so that should make reading a bit easier.
Easier to use categories: Instead of one long list of categories to select from, the list (at the top of the grey sidebar on the right) only displays top-level categories at first. When you click one, it expands.
More comments shown: Comment summaries shown in the sidebar now have more text to them and there are many more comments displayed.
Tag cloud: It’s just getting started, but a “tag cloud” exists in the sidebar in case you prefer to do your browsing that way. (The bigger the word, the more posts are about that topic.)

As always, please keep the suggestions coming!
