The new site
Firstly, an important change.

Posters on the blog site will notice that the 'new post' page now has two text boxes. One says "Post Introduction", the other: "Post Continuation".

(EDIT: Sorry guys, I've just learnt that the change I made isn't visible to other posters. You need to make the change yourself. Please see Sweder's message immediately below this...)

Anything you enter in the first box will be displayed on the front page with a link saying "Continue reading..." (or similar). You don't have to use it, but the page will load much more quickly if you do.

Second, I'm now back from Japan and had better start to do some of the chores I rashly promised, as I reclined on that balcony in Kyoto, in yakata and hotel slippers, chilled beer at my side.

Bugger.

I'm still not totally convinced by TypePad, but we'll string them along for a while yet.

I want to make the front page a bit more interesting. We should have an About...

I'll add the foot logo, as hinted by Sweder, and investigate individualising contributors a bit seeing as no one but marathondan seems willing to put their name in brackets after the title.... Sad . We need some way of instantly identifying posters, the way an avatar does. I'll take a look at our options.

Oh yeah, the link at the top of this page.

And a few other minor things. Please offer any suggestions.

I should start putting together some How-Tos as well.
