Blog tweaks

I rearranged the right hand column a bit. Just below the tag cloud you'll find a feed of recent comments. A link to the feed can be found here.

Also, if you've ever been frustrated by the fact that Blogger hasn't implemented searching using multiple tags, here's a neat feed hack. If I want to find my Jackie times, I create the following feed:

http://spartantraining.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/BL/Jackie

Note that the tags are delimited with slashes (can be more than 2). Most browsers will display a feed, so you can just plug this in as a URL (Firefox will occasionally display the raw HTML, but reloading will do the trick).

Awesome, I like the comment feed on the side. A quick note with the multiple tag searching, it only displays the posts in terms of raw html. When searching with one tag it shows the post in its composed form. It's a really great tool for finding those specific posts with multiple tags though. Thanks for adding it Brian!

Also, underneath the Crossfit links, the Physical Strategies blog has moved.

If you are using Firefox, you may have to reload the search several times. This is not a problem in Safari. Alternatively, you could use a dedicated feedreader.

Oh, interesting. Well, that makes it even better then. Thanks for putting that up there!

Nice find, neat little hack should make it easier to search. Wish they would include multiple tag searching already, though...
