After much complaining, and no action on my part, I’m tweaking the blog a bit. I know my clever half-gray font color was hard on the eyes; I’ve finally reverted to plain black (hyperlinks are still in a subtle gray, because, hell, using a color or something would be way too wild). My blog theme is a heavily-edited thing I pulled off some guy’s Web site, and, while I like it, it’s not that well organized, so further tweaking will be slow and subtle. Things keep going invisible because I can’t tell what the various codes do until I change them, and there’s a decided polygenetic feedback situation that makes changing some of them a dicey proposition. But I’ll try to slowly polish it until it’s got just that perfect featureless lack of color I always dreamed of.

This is just to let you know that your eyes aren’t deceiving you - you can actually read the text now. Suggestions for further improvements are welcome, though the overall basic layout is going to stay as it is. Keep those cards and letters coming!
