Pardon the Pixeldust
If you notice funky things going on with the Gazette's layout, just ignore them. I'm creating a new design (finally!) and some facets need to be tested in real time, especially the blogroll layout.
I hope to have the new skin up and running within the next day or so. I wish I could tell you that you'll be astounded by the new look -- well, suppose I can tell you that, regardless -- but I don't think I'm breaking any new ground. Still, it will be different from the current old-and-busted look, and that's got to be an improvement, right?
Plus, you might be amazed by what they're doing nowadays with the blink tag! (That one's for you, Patti dearest.)
Eric, when are we ever NOT astounded by your work? :-)
Posted by: Jeff at August 11, 2005 08:48 PMSometime back I happened to surf through here and read a post in which you offered some alternative methods of lacing shoes. I decided to try one of those methods. I have a narrow foot and most shoes slip on my heel. Changing the lace pattern really helped.
So, apropos of absolutely nothing in this post, I just wanted to come back and say thanks.
BTW I like the little thingie in the bottom corner.
Posted by: bill at August 11, 2005 08:56 PMRachel, I'm feeling the pressure now! And, Jeff, you must be really easily impressed...
Bill, I feel vindicated! I caught a lot of flack for that post, derided because I had stooped to writing about shoelaces. But I knew in my heart of hearts that there were people out there, somewhere, who needed my message of hope!
Actually, I've had a couple of folks say that the lacing tips helped. That's what we're here for, right?
Anyway, thanks for letting me know!

I love what Tim Challies did for my site. But. . . I'd like to play around and update the look a bit.
Posted by: TulipGirl at August 13, 2005 05:39 PMAlas, real work -- and real life -- keep conspiring to prevent me from making as much progress as I hoped. But I'm still plugging at it. If I can be half as successful as your new look was, I'll be thrilled!
