A few notes on some housekeeping changes here. Sorry to bore you with non-entertainment content, but I’d rather say this once in a post than a half dozen times in email:
I’ve updated the site theme. Quotation boxes should now have more than 40 characters across, and the home link on the top should now actually link to home.
On the downside, I had to remove the neutral and evil themes for now. Sorry about that. About two years ago we had an interesting thread talking about why some people prefer black backgrounds and some people prefer white. At the time I thought it was due to environment (lighting) or hardware (size and brightness of your screen) but after reading what people said I’m now confident that different people just work differently.
It came down to a choice between Super Cache (which I need in place if I don’t want the site to go down when I get links from a really big site) and the theme switcher. They were not compatible and the theme switcher wouldn’t work properly for people who never left comments. (That is, a vast majority of visitors.) It IS possible to make the two work together, but not without writing the plugin myself. A caching plugin is a large and complex task, and I’m not up for that level of project at the moment. This isn’t a problem that can be sorted out with just a couple of hours of hacking, anyway.
As an olive branch to the dark background fans, I’ve altered the default theme so that it’s a couple of shades away from pure white. Hopefully this will make it less painful for you to read. This change in experimental, and might change again based on feedback. I’d like for the site to be just right for everyone, but we can’t have that. So the goal now is for something we can all live with.
Feedback on the theme and site behavior welcome.
