Rebuilding update!

Well, got most of the dirty work done and of course it took longer than I thought, but I'm pretty happy with the new frontpage. I'm going to have to put some more work in making the archive, search and entry pages look just as spiffy, but at least they're usable.

I learned a lot (good and bad) about CSS in the past week or so and I tried to make this page without using tables, but it ended up looking like hell in IE5 (you can see a mock up CSS-boxes-no-tables example here). I had decided I wanted this page to look as good as possible in as many browsers as possible, so I've tested it with IE5.01, Mozilla 0.9.8, Netscape 6.2.1 (and yes *grumble* there are rendering differences between Mozilla and Netscape) and Opera 6.0. I still have to put the CSS upgrade notice for Netscape 4 (and other non-CSS capable browsers) in, but it's late...

Valid CSS! you betchaI've run the page through the W3C HTML validator and there are still some minor problems, a couple having to do with Opera needing the non-standard marginwidth and marginheight tags to prevent it from rendering a white border around the HTML defined area. I've also run the CSS code through the W3C CSS validator and I'm proud to say everything checked out just fine, so here's the official seal of approval:

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
