Welcome to the new Swirlee. If you’ve visited Swirlee in the last nine months or so, you probably found it on hiatus. Now Swirlee is back in full-featured form, complete with feeds, archives, comments, tags, and so on. It’s still not 100% complete (be gentle!), but most of the functionality you expect in a blog is present.
Of course, a lot has happened on the web since the last time I designed a full-fledged blog, and I have lifted more than a few pages from some of my favorite blogs, including (but by no means limited to, nor in any particular order) Painfully Obvious, kottke.org, Projectionist, and Anarchaia. I also owe a lot to the developers of WordPress and the writers of several plugins, most especially Ultimate Tag Warrior.
Thank you for stopping by. Please leave a comment if you have any opinions about the new Swirlee. Expect lots of refinements in the near future, plus lots of great content.

First post!
Swirlee 8 Version: 0.95 a smash success!
Rock, rock on!
Yay! Swirlee is looking awesome! I love the logo. It’s cloudy. Cloudy is good.
I miss the old style, will you be working on one?
the logos are cool though. It’s like ‘what’s Jordan doing’ and then it’s like ‘Jordan B. Running’…
Rock, rock on!
Congraturation!
i’m glad you’re back jordan.
Yay! Welcome back to the blogosphere. I’ve been following your linkroll for months and am looking forward to some new blog content here. Keep on tranglin’.
Came back from Canada to find you’ve been posting the whole time I was gone. Great to see you back! You were missed.
Jordan, thanks for the massive compliment. Incidentally, there’s no way I’ve earned mention alongside the other influences you list, but I’m glad I’ve somehow convinced you otherwise.
Also, I like what you’ve done with this blog. I’ll be a regular visitor.
