New DigitalKoans Browse-by-Category Feature

Since DigitalKoans now has about 1,000 posts, it can be difficult to find posts using the built-in browsing tools in my blogging system. To help with this problem, I've installed software that organizes posts first by category and then by date, showing the post titles only. Although it is not as easy to navigate as I'd like it to be, this new browsing feature should speed up browsing posts by category.

You can access this new browsing feature using a link named "Category Index with Post Titles" that is located under the search box on the DigitalKoans home page.
