Life Outside the Blog

The new design is finished and has now succeeded the old one. There are still a few things I need to change, but they’re relatively minor and can be dealt with later. All new URLs are backwards compatible with any old links, so you don’t have to worry about updating bookmarks or anything. The only thing that might cause a problem is that I’ve changed our syndication format from RSS to Atom, but feed readers should be able to deal with that. Also, I’ve optimized this to work in IE7, Firefox 2, and Opera 9. Other browsers aren’t supported although I have put a little effort to make the it look not quite so ugly in them. If you’re using IE6 or Netscape 2 or something then I’m sorry! All in all, hooray for not having an ugly site anymore!

I’m currently beta testing the next generation of the site. In addition to the current one looking ugly, the code behind it is a total mess. The new software uses a lightly modified version of the CMS I use for my personal site. There’s no current date set for the release, just whenever it’s done.
