Redesign
It might not be noticeable to the casual observer, but I have been tweaking the layout and design of this site.
Some of the changes include:
- Reordering the menu bar at the right to put navigation at the top and external links at the bottom.
- Changing comment display from an enumerated listing to one with dotted lines separating successive comments.
- Adding a tagline to the title area.
- Adding a Creative Commons License notice.
- Various minor CSS tweaks to improve readability here and there (adjusting colors, making underlying of acronyms less obnoxious, etc.)
- Bringing over the links from the MT site, plus a few new ones.
Stuff I’d still like to do include:
- Figure out how to design the title area so it doesn’t look ugly.
- Have the tagline be randomly chosen (probably not trivial).
- Import the entries from the MT-based blog into this one.
To the people I know who aren’t listed in the “People I Know” section to the right: the most likely reason you’re not there is that I simply don’t know the address of your blog; let me know and I’ll almost certainly add you, unless we’re mortal enemies or something.

Content from the MT-based blog has been imported, and everything looks fine. I tweaked the categories a bit, mainly merging the old Misc into General and splitting off Reviews into a subcategory of Fanboyism.
Of course, since I never configured the MT-based blog to do anything with categories, you’re probably completely unaware they were organized by topic to begin with. Well, now they are.
Also, note that I changed the permalink structure to be more human-readable. In the very unlikely event you’ve direct-linked to one of the posts here previously, you may want to update it. (I assume the old raw-id style still works, but I don’t know for sure.)
Gonna start pinging blo.gs again?
Yes, I almost forgot about that. If the next post doesn’t show up there, let me know.
