Is This Thing On?

Filed under:

General

— site admin @ 3:22 PM GMT-0500

Appearances may change without warning over the next few days, as I try to settle on a template that looks good on smaller screens and try to get comments working again.

Update: (4:39pm)
Going back to one of the WordPress templates fixes the comments problem, but now I have to see if I can improve the appearance and copy my blogroll into it without wrecking them again. I also have to go through all my old posts and close comments on them individually, so I won’t be flooded with spam comments. I was getting several thousand a day when I turned comments off a couple of months ago.

FWIW, I don’t like this typeface.
