Generally we have to compromise with something in the middle and hope that’s how most people will see it. Why not use a little JavaScript to make line spacing relative to line width?

I installed the nofollow plugin here a few days ago. To the hardworking comment spammer attempting to cut a living from this cruel world, I apologise. Just keep in mind that it’s nothing personal.

Site directory changes made painless with htaccess

On a whim I’ve decided it would be nicer and less ambiguous to use month names abbreviated to three characters. What might have been a major change is made minor with the addition of several lines to a .htaccess file.
