Made a slight design change to the weblog - we've moved from the cliche of the leopard print of the 50s to the wood paneling style of the 60s. Type size and columns are a bit larger, and the site has embraced a table layout in all it's glory. There isn't a bit of clean HTML to be seen, and I'm sure it doesn't validate at all. Despite what the better informed and more important web designers say - CSS and browser quirks lead to just as many problems (for me) as using tables. Will hopefully finish updating the rest of the site and have any serious glitches stamped out in the next few days.
Oh, and the comment spam security measures seem to be holding the tide (for now) against the onslaught of weblog "comment spammers" that have hit all the Movable Type blogs lately. I'm sure things will escalate soon, as they always do in an arms race. But for now, Die Spammer Die.
