I’m working feverishly on getting the blog in tip top shape. You can now see the gorgeous graphic that Wyldkyss designed and drew for me. I think it’s fabulous. If you think so too, write her and tell her so.

Well, I’ve done some work on the calendar. I’m not sure whether it’s too small to be useful or not. We’ll see. I also changed the number of entries showing on one page to 6.

Expect much fiddling and moving around of the calendar in the near future. Also expect some fiddling around with the comments, to better set them apart, perhaps add the date on which they were posted and limit the number that are displayed on the front page. Still to do : fixes for some of the displays (most notably the item display) that still seem to break the css and shove the right panel with the pics to the bottom.
