Happy Friday, everybody! You have probably noticed that the site has changed rather dramatically. I’m still experimenting with this, so I am curious to know if anyone encounters any problems. Or totally hates it. (I really, really, really liked the old look, I was just getting kinda bored.) Incidentally, if the white text on a black background makes your head explode, I highly recommend scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking “lighter.” I know that some of my readers have a tough time with light text on a dark background, so I made a more eye-friendly version of the theme. Please tell me if you think that the fonts/colors/etc of the light theme should be tweaked to make it easier to read!
