the redesign
There’s still a lot more work to do (uh, basically everything except this page), but this is the new look.
My favorite part is the little spanning calendar things on the right. I’ve completely turned off the grey bars in IE, because its rendering is so unreliable. But Mozilla and Safari users should enjoy the good times.
I wish the template tags in WordPress all had the boolean to return a string instead of echo—it would be much easier. You have the option of skipping them altogether and just using the $post object, but then you don’t get fancy text-processing that way. To work around this, I ended up writing some filter plugins (for example, the new permalinks).
More to come… #
