Various Little Adjustments

Posted October 11, 2009, 11:38 p.m.

I spent a bit of time this evening making a handful of small, mostly administrative updates to the site that I’ve been stewing on for a few weeks:

I finally added our new shotgun to the Firearms page; I totally slacked on this for the last month.
All site policies and rules have been brought together on one new Policies & Rules page.
I’ve added a new Technology page under About the Site to highlight all the products and tools that go into making this site work. Most people won’t find this too interesting, but a few might.
I’ve promoted the old Web & Software page to the main menu, re-named it Software, and set it up to be able to support any new software projects I might take on.

Nothing too earth-shattering for now. Enjoy!

Scott Bradford has been putting his opinions on his website since 1995—before most people knew what a website was. He has been a professional web developer in the public- and private-sector for over twenty years. He is an independent constitutional conservative who believes in human rights and limited government, and a Catholic Christian whose beliefs are summarized in the Nicene Creed. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.
