A big thanks to all of you who have stopped by today to watch the development go down here in real time. In the last day-and-a-half I’ve added sIFR titles to each post (these pages now only use two graphics plus the Flickr photoblog, no kidding), moved the sidebars around, brought back the archives, polished the permalink/comments pages, added relative dating to the posts, added author-sensitive styling to the comments (mine now show up in blue), and added Gravatar support (I think; both my Gravatar and Bill’s are still pending approval).
It’s still not quite done yet – the archive main page still needs reworking and I’d still like to get this AJAX thing working there to the side of the homepage – but for the most part it’s been a pretty productive period here. With luck I can extend these changes over to Ken’s and the new weblogs this weekend… Maybe. š
