New site look

Right now I've set the site up using this template from Empty Pages. I'll be fiddling with it, but I think that I have at last broken free of divs. Now to test in other browsers...

Okay, it works in Mozilla and Opera 7. By the way, text is resizable.

And ... it looks great in lynx, too. Though I'm probably just about the only sighted person still using lynx, I imagine

Even your comment system works fine in lynx.

I have used Lynx. I used to have a Windows version installed, but now I can just go on my server shell and use it. I'm glad to know the site is working. I am trying to simplify the site and make it easier to read -- and faster to load.

It's always an entertaining new experience to come visit your site, Andrea. Never know what it's going to look like.

Hmmmm. I wonder if we need a Blogrolling.com-type service for "page redesigns" (instead of page updates).

(I do like the design. Though it does still look like you're using DIVs.)

Well, actually I am using some divs. But I think the plethora of divs in my previous design was bollixing things up for some people -- or at any rate, I was losing track of them. I'm going through one of my "simplicity" phases, but I plan to fancy this up a little and make it more "mine." (And I am still! going to do some sort of skinning thing, I swear, one of these days, when I am not either working or sick or tired. I'm not taking summer classes, so the theory is I will have some free time.)

I like the fast design, but my only complaint is that the category text is the biggest and the title text is the smallest, and really that should be the other way around.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Will fix.
