Beware of Gnomes and Falling Debris

If time permits, the blog will hopefully get a makeover this weekend. While the current format works for the under 40 crowd, after several dozen emails from the over 40 crowd there are clearly navigation problems I need to address.

Makes sense, there are about 3000 more daily readers than there were since last time I screwed around with the 'look and feel'.

Apparently, I appeal to the last generation more than the next generation. I'm not sure that is a good long term strategy for the blog...

Anyway, if you hit the blog and something isn't right, it is because the gnomes are hard at work in the background. If it looks like a mess as I'm going through it, leave a comment here and let me know what you like, or don't like, because I doubt I'll have time to do it all at once in one sitting. To date I've literally put about an hours worth of work into the design, but I'm probably going to end up writing code to get what I want as I can't seem to find the widgets I want.

As many of you know, the role of dad (and being on call 24/7) is one of constant interruption on weekends. So it could get really ugly for short periods if I'm messing around and get called away for a few hours. I still haven't decided if I intend to blow up this theme or not, my art skills are horrible, but I think it may be time to shake it up without blowing up the load times.

Suggestions are always welcome.
