There Be Changes

Every now and then a good housecleaning is in order. I have removed the blog skins for the time being. If you have trouble seeing a formatted page, you may need to delete your cookies to this site first.

Now then…

The trouble with skinning a site is that it locks me into a certain way of coding. Which is fine if you’re of the calibre seen at CSS ZenGarden. But for me, I’m still learning how to do stuff and, inevitably, what seemed like really good coding 8 skins ago may not be quite as versatile as first imagined. Things were getting complicated.

Besides, I wanted to experiment.

The navigation is a little different now. The sidebars are gone. The front page is ideal for a quick and dirty reading, but more in depth features are on the inside pages. Each of those pages has a small menu.

At the bottom of each comments page is a listing of the last 7 blog posts. That should help anyone wondering if you’ve missed anything that flew past the front page when you weren’t looking. ;)

I’m not sure yet how this set-up will work. That’s for time to tell, I guess.

Nevertheless, when I saw that photograph, I Had To Have It! Of course, I have a thing for trees to begin with, but this one almost looks 3D and it’ll probably take a long time before I get tired of looking at it.

So there you have it. Welome back to my slightly simplified digs.
