I'm sorry about not being able to do much blogging lately. This will all change when the new website and weblog are in place. You may not notice much difference at first (well, you will if you are a frequent visitor), but most changes are going to affect the nuts and bolts of the site.
I think I'll adopt a minimalist (no theological pun intended ;-)) approach to the outward design, and focus on making the whole thing more user-friendly and efficient. As usual, I'm having lots of problems trying to make different browsers behave the way they should -- my goodness! haven't they heard about standards? --, but I think we'll get there in a few more weeks.
In the meantime, thanks again for your patience.
