Okay, I said I was going to have the redesign up by today, and I guess I meant it. Well, sort of, anyway.

Truth be told, only a fraction of the new site is ready, and I've done my best to wall you off from all the unfinished parts. (If I've failed at that task -- a real possibility, I'm afraid -- and you suddenly find yourself wondering around in an obvious construction area, just click on the fellow in the upper left hand corner to get back to the main blog site.) Look for the new sections and features to start coming online in the next week or so.

Which leaves us with only one more thing to discuss before I get back to regular blogging, and that's the tricky subject of site registration. For the record, I don't like it, and I presume you don't either. On the other hand, the comment spam has gotten completely out of hand in recent weeks, and something had to be done. So, for now, at least, I'm going to ask people to register if they wish to have their say. (If you'd rather just send an e-mail, that's fine, too; simply include the word "comment" in the subject line -- as in, "Comment: New website, same liberal horse#$%&!" -- and I'll assume it's for publication.)

Well, I guess that's about it for now. Welcome again to the new site. I hope you like it.

POSTSCRIPT: If you're looking for the old site archives, please read the announcement on your left.

UPDATE: I meant to mention the site's new publishing engine, Xaraya, in the post above. If you're looking for a CMS that's flexible, extensible, and just plain smart as hell, do yourself a favor and check out Xaraya today.
