Well, the styling is getting close to being done now. Thanks for all your patience and feedback. And, please, if you see anything wonky, use the comments section or the new Contact form to let me know.

Some things you might want to check out:

  • Comments now use gravatars. You can find out more and sign up for your own free gravatar at gravatar.com. (And for those of you who haven’t met me, yes, the gravatar in the comments section next to my comments is supposed to be Southpark Chutney.) Also, my own comments will now show up in a different color to make them easier to find.
  • Try out the new search function. It produces a drop down list of results as you type (might be a slight delay after typing).
  • We have photos! I’m not Mr. Photographer or anything, but I’ve put up photos from my Flickr account. (Nifty WordPress plugin, huh?)
  • Archives are now snazzy. Try out the new set up. (I’m not quite satisfied with the colors yet, but it’s well on its way.)
  • You might have noticed a little section on the sidebar called “Asides.” These are short little linky-link posts that don’t really warrant a full entry. Similar to Philocrites’ Scrapbook.

Still on the to-do list:

  • A revamp of my links/blogroll. I’m hoping to find a good Del.icio.us plugin or two and merge my blogroll with my browser’s bookmarks. My idea here is that you’ll be able to see many more links, updated regularly and tagged. (Blogs will then be under the tag “blogs,” eh?) I’m hoping to find a “cloud” plugin but haven’t had any luck yet. Let me know if you know of a good one.
  • Repopulate the sidebars with, you know, content and stuff. WordPress now offers conditionals for content display, so you can display certain things only on, say, Archive pages or single-post pages. This will just take some time for trial and error (and some patience.)
