“a softer world” is a webcomic, but not just any webcomic. It’s one of the best, and most importantly smartest webcomics out there. While most webcomics deal with silly things, that are mostly just plain dumb, a softer world is very different. It’s smart, touching, and stylistically very well done. Probably my favourite webcomic right now.

There are no main characters, or storylines in “a softer world”, it isn’t there to tell any particular story, so you get surprised with something brilliant every time they upload a new strip. The comic is done by Emily and Joey. Highly recommended and well worth the read.

Had some extra free time today so decided to work some more on improving(hopefully it’s improving) the blog. Most noticeable changes are probably those on the front page. The way that the categories are now setup in a “tag cloud”, I always thought that the old way of showing them one per line took up too much space, and looked very boring as well. So I changed it to a “tag cloud”, which basically is a list of all categories thrown together in one pot. The bigger the text is, the more entries in that category there are.

Secondly I removed the top google adsense ads, and I’m thinking about some new placements for the ads anyway, seeing that they basically being in maybe six clicks per month anyway, and that just isn’t worth of having them here in the first place. Will probably decide on this over the next few days, was maybe thinking about having one of those 460×80 blocks after the first blog post. Any suggestions?
