Ahhhh, that looks better ...

The housekeeping is largely finished, at least for now.  I've got a shiny new template, a non-swindling comment service, a reorganized sidebar, and a new home for my "recurring features" pages (they're now hosted here on Blogger using the "pages" tool, which will save me a lot of time).  

A few things are missing: I've pared down my sidebar links to what I actually read somewhat regularly (sorry!), I've removed my no-longer-updated delicious page (which I used as a hack to categorize my posts before Blogger came out with its post "labels"), and the old Haloscan comments are gone (sniffle).

Oh, and I can now use "jump breaks", too.  :)

Very old posts may have some problems: I've switched image and file hosting places a few times over the years (so there are likely a few broken links), and there won't be any post labels on them. 

I even took a picture of the old template, so longtime readers could remember the good old days ...

If you see anything that appears to be broken (especially in old posts), or have any suggestions, please let me know.
