design changes
You may notice that I’ve tweaked the design of this site a little. It’s something I had been wanting to do for a while, but when I got a complaint from a reader that my pictures were not showing up I decided it was time to take action.
Mainly I just wanted a clean, simple look and a consistent look on the main page and the archive pages. The pictures needed to be integrated into the text better.
While I was doing it I went back and edited the way pictures were formatted in some of the previous entries. I’ve been told that that violates one of the commandments of blogging. If so I guess I’ll have to beg forgiveness. If it makes any difference I didn’t change any text and it’s actually the way I intended the pictures to appear all along.
You’ll let me know if any of it doesn’t work with your software I hope.

I found your blog from the link in your email.
I had not seen your site before the changes so don’t know how it’s different. Still no pictures came up.
I like the story about how you named the site. My yard is mostly a prairie reconstruction.

Sorry about the pictures. What browser do you use?

Bah. Who told you there are commandments for Blogging? What nonsense.
Might as well say there are commandments for fingerpainting, or writing freeform prose (everyone must write like ee cummings, or it’s not valid), or watching cloud shows.
Here is the only rule I follow: Be creative. Its corollary: Please yourself. I think you are doing a fine job.
And I think anybody who thinks there are commandments for Blogging has their toupee screwed on too tight. Yeesh.
