Housekeeping

I’ve made a few changes lately that I hope readers will appreciate, but please let me know if you have complaints–or suggestions:

• The front page now shows the 10 most recent posts, rather than just 3. That was Jeremy’s suggestion.
   
• I’ve stopped using the “Popular Posts” widget because of doubts about its accuracy and utility.
   
• The “Recent Posts”, “Recent Comments”, and “Similar Posts” widgets now show 10 entries each rather than 5.
   
• I’ve eliminated my “Blogroll” widget. I will continue posting “Blogs I Read” entries, which I believe are more useful than just links.
