Since it’s almost 2010 I figured it was time to ditch the 2008 design and functionality – though I know we will all miss it, just like we miss the 2007 version. Wish I had saved a screenshot of the 2005 version …

Plus with the dawning of a new political era it might be the dawn of a new blogging era here, kinder, gentler, and perhaps more generally rational.

One thing you’ll notice is we have gravatars showing in the comments. If you have one it will show up, and if you haven’t gone to gravatar to create your own, our new software will very cleverly attempt to discern your personality based on your writings and will provide a design reflecting your inner self. So creating one or just having the inner self revealed – you can go either way, it’s all the same to me.
